Daytime running is going to be the answer to that, and fortunately my boss is happy for me to work flexibly! So today I set off on a quite pleasant 4.5 miler. I switched around my route quite a bit although as usual the old railway track featured prominently, due to being both flat and soft underfoot.
I tried the audiobook again and seemed to empty my mind a bit more today. I really need to pay for the Zombies Run app and get back into that story as well.
Nothing started to bleed and the Compeed on my heel held. I put the box in my pocket just in case and my main irritant was the sound of them rattling with every step! I also felt far too hot. I set off with a woolly hat and my running jacket on but was stripped down to my vest by Mile 3.
Happy to see a man I have chatted to before as well. We walked together for a while and he was telling me about his cancer, and how he used to be a cyclist. Going in different directions today but he cheered me past while his beagle looked on, bemused. It cheered me up to see him :)
The next run is on Sunday - 6.5 miles. A big step up, and I'm not as fit as I should be after my injury. I need to plan properly, make sure I have eaten, and not wear too many clothes. But some clothes. The good people of Saddleworth don't need to see that much jiggling.
