Description from Strava: A beautiful evening for a run. It was a little later than planned, as I needed to go and work in the office today. Usually on Wednesdays I am able to work from home, and hence usually go for a run as early as possible i.e. just after 4pm.

But being in the office meant that by the time I had finished, walked down to the busstation, and caught the bus home, it was 5:45. As quick as I could, I got changed and headed out.

there could have been a problem though, as Wednesday evening is a day I usually call my partner for a catch up while she is currently attending university... fortunately she as also busy this evening, so we've rearranged the teams call for tomorrow

Anyway out I went to do the 10 mile (16km) route which has quickly become a staple in my training, especially during the week... the aim was to keep it an easy effort and stick with the Zone 2 heart rate stuff.

The run itself was uneventful, as I meandered in a loop around Branston and then through Washingborough before heading home.

The noteworthy thing was not just the little bit of sunshine, but the WARMTH! We've had highs of 19C here in Lincoln, it is the warmest (should that be mildest?) it has been all year.

Flippin' lovely out there!

In fact it looks like we've got a warm spell of weather for the next week or so, although it appears to have brought some wet weather along with it. I don't mind the rain too much, as long as it is warm enough, and quite frankly I've become bored the 5-8C temps (feeling as low as 1-2C with windchill factored in!)

I arrived back home at 7.45, which isn't too bad at this time of year... we are in May now, and the evenings are quickly getting longer and longer as Summer approaches. A quick spot of tea, and now to sit and chill for a bit.

I'll be working from home tomorrow, so will be able to do a short 'recovery-ish' run tomorrow afterwards, and then I'll be ready to settle down and catch up with Dawn. A rest day on Friday, and then we'll see what the weekend brings running wise...

I'm thinking maybe, MAYBE, Parkrun on Saturday... but hey, I've said that before and changed my mind at the last minute, so no promises!!

About the Athlete: Living in the UK, I am an intermittent Runner, but always striving for more consistency. When I'm not training I can be found photographing insects or listening to really loud angry music (which is the best type of music obviously!)
