Weak Week

D-day minus 179.

Not making progress. Will repeat this week’s programme. My feelings about each of my runs this week - if measured on a scale of Bad 1 to 4 Good - would be 2-1-3-1.

Got up later on the second day so decided to try a new route avoiding the pushchairs and 4x4s on the pavement. Felt like it was mostly uphill and with no familiar timing points I was forever looking at the stopwatch. Had to stop and turn at end of lane. Breathing difficult. Not a happy bunny.

Next day reverted to old route and was happier with my performance. Hope I am not developing a comfort ritual.

Out early today but not comfortable. Bloated feeling and aches and pains niggled at me Probably a mistake to do 4 days in a row but rain forecast for tomorrow and had an OK day yesterday.

• Clouds - 1 overcast
• Silver Linings - 0
• Squirrels (grey) - 2
• Snails - 3
• Trike - child’s - 1 broken, dumped

Now using new Nike running top from Running Bath. Much less clingy-sweaty than old T shirt.As a morale booster though it takes as well as gives. Dressed like a proper runner but not performing like one.

Very bright yellow, but…… Wakey-wakey Mr commuter!
