Mad as a box of frogs 🐸 slow as a snail 🐌
I’d read about this run and it was the last one of week 3 on my plan. I ran first run of week 4 day before yesterday but when i looked at progress, week 3 showed as incomplete, so I went back to complete it.
got to the beach, left Willow on the blanket, off I went, it’s hot 🥵 but theresa little breeze, just realized it’s Saturday so much busier than usual, walking the warm up, thinking should have popped to the ladies, shall i go back? it’s not far, nah it’ll be fine.
Started the first 7 minute interval at 7mpk and breathing deeply. Ooo it’s warm and the trainer chatting and popping back every minute, aaaah first interval done. Brisk walk, people everywhere but the track has widened.
Got to the end of the track just as I started the second interval, loop round the road, along past the flats and round back towards the sea front, past a very pretty church, I’m slower now but still faster than usual, second interval over and walk to recover, brisk walk smiling all the way, third interval, I’m tiring and that call to the ladies was getting a bit important. Briefly wondered if I could hide in the bushes? hmm nope, they are all brambles, kept going but slowing, run over and I’ve got a way to walk, lovely tufts of tall grass by the first beach hut, could I hide in there? better not, imagine peeing and killing someone’s prize fancy grasses.
Ah, almost there 😀big grin and made it.
I loved that run but it’s too hot and after work too tired. Change under a towel and we both waded into the sea which was wonderful, we stayed in ages for us. Dried off in the sun and came home.
Lovely run and swim.
Run or rest happy and remember to drink loads
Longest run yet.
