Went for an early morning run today. Decided to make it an easy one as first post grad run with the group was quite hard. So I went off piste again. Dropped down in to the valley and thought I knew where I was going but came out somewhere different. Only 15 mins done, where to next? Ran up the road and disappeared off down a track again. One I did the first time I went off piste. Reached 30 mins and decided to go for 5km with 'my conscience' from Runkeepee accompanying me. Did an extra loop.....and got lost! Realised that I can stop for a couple of minutes without feeling guilty as no one is counting except me 🙂. Had to ask the way to the bridge I was looking for. 5 minute walk back up the hill to home. So I did 5km in a slower time than ever, but with hills and faffing around. Just happy to have discovered a couple of new paths and to have done it.
Saw my neighbour heading out for a 10km run later on. Will I ever find time to do 10k?
Eating loads. Trying to consume more protein. Enjoying being a runner. Hopefully a new park run on Sat.
