When I woke
this morning the sun was shining and whilst I had planned to do an exercise
video as I get my kit on I thought better of it and decided to get outside and
make the most of the bright morning. I didn't really have a route planned, just
a vague idea of how to get around 5 km under my belt whilst not venturing too
far a field – I had an urge to run for longer even before beginning and the further
away I got the more likely I would just keep running. It was the most sensible
therefore to stay pretty close to home and one eye on my watch.
Starting on
a slight incline – something I have deliberately avoided for the last year I
was reasonably please with my pacing and comfort. My breathing stayed even as I
padded along the pavements and tried to avoid singing out loud to a great (or
perhaps questionable) mix of tunes.
As I passed
the third mile, I was still feeling a bit keen and wanting to keep going but if
I did I would leave myself in a bit of a rush would perhaps snatch away that
runners high too soon. I headed home, arriving back at just under 3.5 miles in
the same time I would run 3 miles on a treadmill. I knew I preferred running outdoors
for a reason…. Fresh air makes me go faster but the running feel easier!
