It has been a while again since my last run for several reasons which I will not go into here but today everything was in synch once again and the weather was too good to miss.
It was bright, dry and 4 degrees when I went out at just before 8:30.
I decided not to use an NRC run and also not to watch my watch !
I set off with Pink Floyd's ' Meddle' on my playlist and appropriately, 'Breathe' was the first track ! Always a good idea as you start to run ! 😁
So once I set off I didn't look at my watch at all .
I set my pace simply by my breathing and kept the entire run at a conversational pace.
It actually felt so much more relaxed without looking at splits .
I was simply running by feel , enjoying the music and enjoying the weather and surroundings.
The crazy thing is when I got to what I know is 5K and looked at my watch I was surprised to see it was a very similar time to my previous recent 5K's but without the pressure!
There's a lesson there surely!
Back home , stretches done and porridge eaten !
And Misty my cat looking at me as though to say , Where have you been ! ? 😁
Now for a relaxing bath before a 1.5 hour driving lesson after lunch !
Happy running !
