Timing in all aspects of my life is never great, my pals know if I say I will be there at 8 it actually means I will be there about 8.20 in a big old fluster with cake icing in my candy floss Barnett. Usually I have cakes to share so can pull off bad timing with my treats! I've mentioned before I'm not bothered usually on times on running as I like to enjoy the run, listen to some bangers and generally have a great time though unfortunately lately I've started to look at times and been less than impressed with my achievements. A cross country style run and there was some serious hills and bog to deal with saw my 5k time go from treadmill 26minutes to forest 38minutes; I got pretty annoyed at myself about this and later in the day had to go back to the gym and just check I could still do it in under 30minutes.
Although I prefer the run on the treadmills the autumnal colours are a real treat for the eye and I should really take advantage of the fact that I live somewhere so exquisite, Deerleap is right near my house and Liz and I have been going up there for years walking equipped with pepsi max and OJ. I am going to try more runs outside this week as I know a few routes from my days as a little horse riding playa that I can attempt.
So this weeks playlist has been a real variety however the stand out track of the week is from the album I claimed hit the bottom of the pecking pile however I am quite enjoying. This week I plan to not think too much about time and kilometre reading and just enjoy the actual running, often I think to far ahead and should in fact enjoy the process rather than outcome.
