Morning Run: Did it!

I just finished a 5.317km running that lasted about 0hh:30mm:56ss !

I am a bit messed up on my running days in this odd time of year, but still wanted to do my weekly sprints workout on the hill. It was a little cold out, but the rain held off until after I got home. I thought I recognised a van that passed me and got a message later from my friend who had seen me out.

I did the usual sprints up West Drive and was exhausted by the time I got to the top each time. There were a few people walking up and down including a mother and toddler who I passed lots of times.

It was feeling like hard work, but I know it does me good. I was very happy when Strava informed me I had done the uphill segment at under 5min/km every time today. I think that may be the first time I have achieved that. I have done that segment far more times than anyone else on Strava, but others will have their own workouts.

When I got homethe plumber had arrived to look at our heating. He replaced the pump and it is working again. We are lucky it has not been too cold and that we could borrow some heaters. We had hot water anyway.

There may be a new year parkrun at Letchworth, but it will be muddy. I will consider it.

Run free and stay well.

I would love to motivate a few people. I took up running when I was already old, but it has done me good. Better to get these habits whilst you are still young. Health is our most valuable asset.

My health is very very dodgy so I'm trying my best to stay as healthy as I can! I'm actually thinking about yoga 😂😂 but I definitely feel inspired because I'm too lazy!

I hope you can find something that works for you. I could happily just sit around, but I know it's bad for me. I have come to enjoy the running.

I can't imagine not having heat this time of year. It has been pretty cold in our house even with heat on! I woke up to about two to three inches of snow this morning. The drive into work was a little dicey! Awesome job on your achievement. That have to feel really great!

It was above freezing here and so not too bad. Our house is well insulated, so it can stay warm once the heaters have been on. Good to have it working again.
