Weekly ish Running Update: Sun Powered!

It's spring time and I've had three decent, if short runs this week, all along my usual route!

The main thing about last week(ish)'s runs is that they were all warmer, one I even did in just one layer, rather than the usual two (or even three) I've been using over winter.

Also a bit slack as these are after a week off, that's just me, no excuses really!

Spring is here!

Run one - easy (ish 6K)M

Actually this wasn't quite my usual route, this was a slight alternative, and ended up being slightly longer as I wanted to the run to finish at my local coffee shack, so I altered the route, it was on a Sunday when I'd usually do a longer run, but it was after a few beers the night before so I am happy enough with 6K...

Run two - faster 5 K

I headed out for my usual early 5K on Tuesday, pretty happy with the pace...

Run three - even faster 5 K

This my day off (not) in which I ended up working from home for job 2 most of the day but at least it allowed my to get in a decent run early PM, not quite my favourite time to run (which is is mid-morning) but better than my usual 6.30 a.m. runs!

I think just a few more hours later than the previous run gives my body time to warm up and wake up and just allows me to run a bit faster.

This didn't feel that fast, but it was faster than just two days earlier...

Amazing the difference a bit of sun makes!

Final thoughts...

I'm not so happy with having had a week off (but at least that's my first slack week of the year and OK after 2.5 months), but I'm happy to have got back into it...

And now it's spring, so it's all a bit easier and less of a slog for the next 6 months!
