I had a window of opportunity this morning before work .
I have been cutting down on my weekend work and have finally got it down to one 1.5 hour lesson on a Saturday afternoon.
The weather was fine this morning and I was out just after 8 with the intention of doing 5K
The horse in the picture is right at the start of my run and I usually go and say hello π
It was 4 degrees this morning with a stiff breeze.
I had tights , T-Shirt and zipped thermo top (love the new bright running top π)
Set off feeling fine on my usual route , the chair by the field gate in the picture always makes me smile , I resisted the temptation and kept running π
no NRC this morning as recently I have noticed my music not reducing volume when the coach comes in ! Very frustrating! So just went with my playlist .
I actually found this more enjoyable!
The run is going well and at just over 2K there is a bench !
Again, temptation resisted π
At around 2.5K there is a 'Pinfold' (see pic) where stray animals were retained and then released back to their owners on payment of a fine π
3K in and feeling good, a bit more like my pre illness self !
I have no idea what my pace is on this run and I don't care , it feels good and I'm enjoying it and that really is all that matters (to me anyway)
At 4K I considered running on to 6 but decided no !
I will keep my steady progresion back to my former self .
5K done and feeling good !
Happy that it was a very comfortable 5K
And even Mr Garmin rewards me again with another year off .
My fitness is probably still short of where it was before I was unwell but again, that's fine .
There really is no rush .
Back home and Misty is waiting for her 2nd breakfast !!! π·
The chickens are squawking away wanting a treat
Ive not even had my first yet π
Ahh well, stretches done, animals fed , porridge made and eaten .
And a relaxing bath π
Happy running!
