2023: W27R1 - current personal best aka tired Enterprise from TOS :-))))

Everything is wrong today. Not because I wanted to, but because I overslept in the morning and slept longer than I should have. I can't figure it out because I've successfully ignored three alarms on my phone 😴 . Maybe I'm really exhausted, I just haven't noticed yet...? πŸ€”

I won't list all the difficulties encountered...

Anyway, I fought hard with myself because I wanted to stay home. I finally got dressed and headed out, albeit late. I reasoned that I was just going to quickly run "my five kilometers" and that would have to be enough for today.

I was so looking forward to today's run, because today I wanted to follow the example of the original Star Trek "to boldly go where no one - or rather I - have gone before!".

Then I thought that the true captain from TOS would definitely not give up and headed to undiscovered places. But, I had no strength left for WARP, so "impulse speed" had to do. 🀣

Sometimes even slower. I have to say that by the halfway mark I wasn't so brave and cut my way back using a shortcut πŸ₯΄. But still, I think it's my record so far.

I don't know at all if I will be able to run on Wednesday or Friday because of the workload. So I didn't want to give up today.

I'm adding a few examples from "new worlds" for me, i.e. places where I haven't been before.. πŸ™‚

Happy running!
