So, W9R1 I’m in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 running in a beautiful campus at 5.30 in the morning.
No music, I’m worried about Dutch serial killers leaping out the woods, so for the first time it’s just me and a disembodied Jo Wiley (who’s speaking out my arse aka back pocket).
No music, means more internal dialogue. This is when people construct their posts I realise! I notice birdsong, the initial ragged, then regular rate of my breathing. 4 steps per breath (is that a cadence I wonder?). I also reflect on the running book I’m reading. It’s only short, ‘what I talk about when I talk about running’ by the Japanese jazz-loving novelist Haruki Murakami. It’s great, every runner should read it. Pearls of wisdom from an unlikely marathon runner.
I survived both the run and the Dutch serial killer.
Happy running folks. 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♂️😎🇳🇱

I'm hoping for Friday morning - fingers crossed! Will keep an eye out for yours too. Enjoy! Are you on Strava? My real name is Louise Flower if you want to follow me! X
As Oldfloss suggests, I too assume there are serial killers on my runs and have posted about them, or the possibility of them, various times 😭 I have a very vivid imagination as I think you do too. Isn't it great? 😳
