Sunday Observer

Saturday was a scheduled rest day - and it rained.

No the rain was not an excuse for a copout. Advice on the runners forum and elsewhere for beginners was to take a break and not run every day.

So I got lucky.

Today another fine sunny morning with a Wedgewood sky - see picture.

“Go forth under the open sky, and list
To Nature’s teachings.”

Surprising number of people about in cars and on foot - including a few dog walkers and newspaper boys with trolleys delivering next week’s recycling.

Same circuit as before walk-run-walk with 1.25Km run time at 7min 36sec. So measurable improvement over just 4 days. Did ponder a second circuit but decided not good idea yet.

Am I going to post every time I go for a run? No. New and novel deserves a post - but routine not. And the whole point is to make running a routine. Isn’t it?

But it is time to think about a proper training plan rather than just busking it.
