I slept a bit better last night even though Garmin still gives me a poor sleep score, I'm thinking more a hangover from COVID than anything else as my heartrate doesn't go quite so low.Anyway, there I am, propped up on pillows with a cup of tea reading in bed and sneaky little thoughts about food started to drift in, I suddenly thought 'i can't eat until after my run so I better get a move on'
Then I started to think about all the places I love to run, up on the Downs, along the river, along the seafront, round our park and even out the door and round the streets, after a bit of a think I decided I could go to all those places without using the car, start near and go further the stronger I get.
To the park, put Run for success on NRC app, set off a generic playlist, walk to end of close and turn right. I was just pondering walk to park and go round? Or start running after 5 minutes? When my phone rang. Earbud out, answer and it's a friend of Willow's so explain I'll be back soon and put earbud back in, sadly music out of only 1 earbud even after some messing around with disconnecting and reconnecting which was mildly irritating but one ear is better than none, so I set off again and decide on a slow run. I'm an old lady and I ran yesterday I'm sleep deprived and my nutrition is probably at its worst, all things to work on.
Run along, music, coach B, sunshine, this is lovely, so I cried a bit, entered the park we ran yesterday wondering if I'd get as far as the sea, I didn't
Stopped to take photos, ran round and back home, slow pace, some walking, but so good. Text from hugely encouraging daughter. Did you go?
Stretch, made tea and feel at peace.
Run happy or rest well.
