I headed out more than two hours earlier compared to Friday’s run, as I attempt to get full back into my morning run routine. As a result, it was a bit chillier at 5C, but two layers was still fine, especially with the sun.
I opted to go clockwise and unlike recent runs, I got off to a strong start, which ended up matching my overall pace of 5:38/km, my fastest run in a while. The final km was my first lap under 5:30 in some time, too, at 5:27/km. My BPM is still coming in lower, though, which is nice, with today’s being 146.
I didn’t encounter any issues except a weird bit of creakiness in my right foot that pooped up around the 3K mark. I’d compare it to one of those random twitchy muscle things where it pops up, unbidden, then just as quickly disappears. It didn’t have any effect on the overall run.
There were no topless runners today.
There was one dog off-leash, but he was a good boy.
The double double bows came about because I always tie my left shoelace in a double bow and today the right lace came untied about a km in, then started coming untied about half a km later, so I gave it a double bow, too. It’s double bows all the way down.
I should start looking for new shoes soon.
Overall, though, a fine start to the week. Wednesday is looking damp, but maybe if I do a chicken dance or something I can scare the rain away. Or the neighbours.
