The weather forecast for the rest of this week is rain showers. Running in the rain is OK but to be avoided it if possible. It was this attitude that lead us to run today. Normally after a long run on Sunday we take Monday off but not this week. The joints were not too stiff as we set off and the little bit of sunshine gave the impression it was warm. I wanted to run five and a half miles to get right on top of the weeks target and leave an easy run in if the weather is not very kind. We didn’t start off that slowly, about three-quarter pace I would say. Checking the Garmin at two and a half miles confirmed this. We had already run quite a lot of it off road and were about to head into another field. A lap of the field was well over half a mile and a little bit up and down but nothing serious. Out onto the road again we had a gentle uphill gradient all the way home. It was the required distance and now we can look for gaps in any showers that may come to complete two further five milers. I must have been feeling fairly good because I mowed the lawn and did quite a bit of digging in the garden this afternoon. A robin and blackbirds were in close attendance eating up worms that I uncovered. Surprising how tame they become when food is available.
