Description from Strava: Its yet another Monday, and as usual it was a day spent working from home.
I do prefer it like this, as an easy way to ease into the start of the working week!
It was a fairly non-descript day to be fair, other than the fact that that we are starting to prep for the end of the financial year, and all that really means is we make sure we are on top of everything, and make everything is cleared before we can go home... That can result in some late finishes, but we were super organised today, and finished sharp at 5pm.
This of course meant I was able to get changed, and head out to do my usual monday run, its the start of the week of course, and I want to get off to a good start.
The run was (once again!) the usual bypass route for approx 6km. I do hope to do a couple of longer runs this week as I'd like to pick up the mileage, but that all depends on the work situation, as we could be potentially be finishing late all week. I did feel good out there today, and was able to improve on the pace compared to the last couple of weeks
And just intime too, as my upcoming 'race' is now less 2 weeks away!
I say 'race'... I do really mean 'running event', with my current fitness levels, I'm in no shape to race it or push for a decent time.
When I originally booked the place in October last year, the aim was only ever to take part and do something fun. I've entered 4 times before, but the last time was over 10 years ago, so I just fancied doing it again.
I had hoped I'd have been in a more competitive position,, but to be honest, just the opportunity to take part with other like minded people, along with the crowds, will be reward enough. And with the recent spate of injuries/setbacks, I suppose I'm lucky to be doing it at all!

About the Athlete: Living in the UK, I am an intermittent Runner, but always striving for more consistency. When I'm not training I can be found photographing insects or listening to really loud angry music (which is the best type of music obviously!)
