Morning run 🏃♂️
Back to running how I feel like running. I woke up yesterday pondering on why I’m trying to get faster. I’m not at the age where PBs are a possibility. I like to run and it makes me feel good, particularly at times when life presents so many reasons to need an ‘antidote’.
What I was finding was, rather than giving me a break from stress, the ‘quality’ runs were adding to it. Even the night before I was thinking, “I wonder if I’m going to be able to maintain that pace, or keep within the heart rate parameters.” It just feels crazy as I don’t even have a race in the calendar!
So, I’m going back to clocking up the miles, taking in the wonderful scenery, enjoying the ‘moving meditation’ and removing stress from an activity I’ve used for decades to cope with it.
