I didn’t know what was wrong with me, I wake up bright and cheerful 😀 make the morning tea, sit around and think about going for a run! then lots of days….. my mood slides, what’s the point I ask myself, why bother, and those gremlins hold me down. Yesterday was typical of that, at one point Willow said “i’m 4 years off 70 how fit do I want to be?” ooo “as fit as you can be” I snapped back so we stomped out the door and I ran.
Later having been plagued with music and garmin problems I signed up up for Spotify duo, we both downloaded some playlists to our watches and put ear buds in. Very soon Willow looked happy and I was bouncing around tidying cupboards! I realized that I always put music on in the mornings but our tastes although overlap are different so no longer do.
Anyway, fast forward to this morning, wake up, put earbuds in, make tea etc. I was ready to go out before 8am, took Willow a bit longer.
Same as yesterday, walked alongside the golf course, crossed the road to the beach, Willow went to sit and I started off NRC easy run, 25 minutes of gentle running. There was a little breeze at my back, blue sky, nodding and saying good morning to other runners and cyclists. I still started a bit fast but keeping it slow because I ran yesterday. Half way point and can see there’s a bit of sand so lollop down the stones. Onto the sand and run back , that gentle breeze is now in my face cooling me nicely, oh I’m loving this.
Meet Willow as the run ends and splash into the sea, a paddle is just perfect.
Walking back up the stones Willow asks if I’ve ruined my shoes, doesn’t matter I say as I put the old ones on just in case I couldn’t resist 😂
Happy Sunday all
