Monday is a funny day; it used to be a day off running to fit in small jobs after the weekend. The unsettled weather we have been having has encouraged us to run when it is fine and for the last couple of weeks this has included Mondays. On the back of yesterdays ten miles I thought five today would be good and leave us a wide choice of days to complete the other ten.
It was sunny and mild; birds’ singing in the trees it was very pleasant. People who were out walking their dogs looked almost human. It was one of those if only days. If I hadn’t paused for breath here and run a bit harder there we would have recorded a good time. I suppose in part this was because it was mostly on the road and not as lumpy as normal. The last part was the worst as usual, a half mile drag up through the housing estate. A straight road that just keeps on rising then we turn a corner and climb again. Home cannot come soon enough. Shower then lunch followed by a spell in the garden digging. I was hoping it would be rain stopped play as my back is now killing me.
If it is fine tomorrow I’m not sure if I will be fit to run or not. Look on the bright side it may rain.
