Once again, I hemmed, I hawed, then it was too late to do a proper outdoor run, so I got on the treadmill and wrapped up my run inside less than 15 minutes before the sun set (if the sun had been out today). It is already getting dark.
The main reason for the H&H was the weather. It was chilly in the morning–about 4-5C, but I can dress for that. It was drizzly, but promised to be merely “mostly cloudy” later, but seemed to stay kind of drizzly. For running, drizzle is worse than rain because it is finer and mists over my glasses, making it hard to see. I did not relish facing the combo of cold and drizzle.
So I hit the treadmill again, so at least I was good and did my exercise. The only change was not ramping up the speed in the last km. This resulted in me having a faster pace at the end. Go figure.
I ended up with a faster pace than last time, but lower BPM, so that’s nice. Now I rest.
