Morning Walk

After 4 days off due to xmas it was the first day back at work today. I know lots of other people get more time off, but there are many others (retail/hospitality/nurses) that barely get one day off, so I'm happy with 4. 

I was expecting a busy day due to catching up on the 4 days missed, but it wasn't too bad, and we actually managed to finish nearly on time, which was a plus! That meant I had time this evening to get a decent run done.

*The past few Wednesdays I've been trying my hand at some speedwork sessions, but today I wasn't really feeling it. Instead I went for some easy zone 2 stuff and headed out for standard bypass route. I think it was general tiredness that put me off the hard interval training (it has been a busy few days!) and I just wanted to get outside and go for a gentle run.*

The weather had other ideas though, there was rain around, although at least it wasn't as torrential as it had been for most of the day. The biggest issue was the wind, blowing strongly from the South. This resulted in an easy first half as I meandered North along the route, and a much harder second half as I turned back to run home into a really strong headwind.

I did manage to judge my effort to keep my heart rate mostly within zone 2 so that was a positive to come from it. I was feeling a little windswept by the time I had arrived home though! Other than the wind it was pretty uneventful, 16km, 1 hour 45... Job Done :-)

*Tomorrow will be another run, but shorter than todays effort, and then the usual rest day on Friday. Saturday should hopefully be the long run again, but the weather looks appallingly wet first thing on Saturday morning, so I'll keep you posted on that!*
