Well today was possibly not one of my best planned runs , it has ended up as a completely unplanned day off.Although I did work yesterday for a while to take a pupil for his test and he got a good first time pass so I don't really mind.
I then unfortunately did not sleep at all last night, well maybe no more than a couple of broken hours at most , certainly not restful.
I won't go into detail other than to say it's been several weeks of a rather tense situation with a very good friend of mine in China which I think we have now resolved I'm pleased to say !
So anyway not the best run prep but the opportunity seemed to good to miss .
So after a lazy morning I decided to go for my run .
It's about 8 or 9 degrees here now so I kitted up with shorts and a long sleeved zipped running top and of course my brilliant new Shokz π¬
I did my warm-up routine in the house then as I went to go out I decided the long sleeved top woul be too warm so a quick change into a short sleeved thin t shirt .
This combination felt perfect on my warm-up walk .
I am sticking to my 2k route at the moment and my last 3 runs all included walking breaks on the 2nd kilometre.
It started off well and probably even slower slower than my last runs but that's fine as although tired when I got to 1k I just carried on with a slow run .
It was perfect weather and although I am not 100 % my head is in a better place than it's been for the last few weeks
So just 2k again but without a walk and considering where I have been lately both physically and mentally I take that as progress!
So definitely little green shoots of recovery in more ways than one .
And thanks to everyone for your support, it very much appreciated .
Happy valentines day to everyone β€οΈ
