Well we’re over the top now, running downhill now to the 5km mark. Well that’s how I’m going to think about it as I’ve heard how tough the next week can be so I’m strapping on the positive thinking and putting on my sunglasses 😎 ready for the storm.
We ran early yesterday as I had a busy day ahead. Having decided to stop thinking about Distance ‘Daft Brain’ decided to think about Time instead, checking the time very few seconds.
‘Are we nearly there yet?’ ‘How long left till we walk?’ Quite childlike really. 👶
So I’ve been encouraging the fretting child to look up and listen so she can stop thinking about what’s coming next.
Today we saw blackthorn blossom in the hedgerow for the first time, pheasants and crows were surveying the newly ploughed fields, a Jenny Wren flew across in front of us, the Alexander’s are in bud. We tuned into the birdsong instead of the ticking of the clock.
This would have been the view from our route 2 years ago today!
