It's Friiiiday

Not a whole lot to report on today. Got up, went out. W2R3 done, up a notch next week.

Sunshine - W2R2

Lovely morning. It wasn't at about 2am, when I could hear the rain splattering on the Velux window, and snuggling down in bed thinking this morning's run would have to be deferred. How wrong I was: sun up, blue sky, and not even as cold as it has been (I mean, it's almost June, but...).

So up and out, and not bad. Job done.

Notice this is run #5 for this year, more than I've recorded on here in any single year period since 2012. Yup, almost a frickin' decade. Time to push on and beat some more records, perhaps.

W2R1

Cold, cold morning this morning. It's nearly June, FFS, and it was proper chilly. 

Second week of running - ninety seconds of running interspersed with two minutes of walking, repeated six times. Plus a warmup and cooldown walk. 

Feeling good, but the best bit of the morning was the hot shower when I got back.

Windy and wet

 Bleugh, that was the least fun run of the week. Got up and did it though.

Third one of week one, so we move onwards and upwards next week - hopefully in better weather. Got lucky with the first couple of runs, and it was lovely. Today, less so. 

Still, did it.

Glorious morning

As the title doth suggest, it's a glorious morning. Right time of year for this running lark.

Second outing, and W1R2 of C25K. Pretty much the same as Monday, but rather than turning left at Hermitage Lake and running through goose ghetto, I cut the corner and went up by the clubhouse. Made up the distance with a detour around Thomas Rd on my way back. 

All good, no drama. Just a pleasant walk / run in the sunshine.

Well I think we all thought this had died...

 It's 2021, and there's an update?

Yup. Seems I've somehow agreed to play in a rugby game in September, so I need to do a bit of fitness work in preparation for that. Even if I only get ten minutes, I would rather not be blowing like a humpback whale, and I reckon avoiding injury is a decent reason too! 

So, back to week one, day one of the good old C25K. Here we go again!
