Short brisk walk with the dog; discovered the virtue of the phone being down two flights of stairs – if it had been closer, I would have txt’d an apology and gone back to sleep. Tired, but woke up on the walk: blue chilly summer morning, glad I wore the waterproof walking shoes (one reason [...]
Walking the dog yesterday, running with the dog this morning – reverting to brisk walking for the second half, which didn’t affect my average pace. Contemplating cutting back to brisk walking for now, keeping up a steady average pace, then trying to add running to that: so that I don’t run then walk slowly, run [...]

Wet feet, wet everything this morning as the rain came down. The blackberries are ripening [...]
Cool summer morning, blue skies and a chill in the air that didn’t withstand a brisk walk, let alone the running sessions.

Thirty minutes, with dog. Must remember the heart rate monitor next time. Aches and niggles went away as I ran, although I may pay for it on the back of my heel later (rubbed raw by some shoes on Sunday and still a bit sore, nothing dramatic). Drizzling and cool – cool enough to opt [...]
Long run looping around the park with the dog; Garmin beeps to tell me I’m going too fast … should I go backwards? Then it seems to sort itself out. It’s a little cooler, and a little less humid, but the cloud cover means that the sunscreen I finally remembered to buy may not have [...]

Restarted for 60/90 repeats; rabbits playing in the park, feigning disinterest. A hedgehog on the shaded path by the river, curling up as [...]
