I haven't been running for a fair while now. I guess about a month or maybe more. I've noticed that I still have some residual fitness, so I can still make it around the normal block, but it sure feels like hard work.
When I was going regularly, I was thinking about making the block bigger again, but now just making it the whole way round is something to celebrate! I'm not sure if it is hard because I run first thing, even before breakfast. Perhaps I need to up my blood sugar before I go somehow. But as I run for vanity reasons mainly, using up some fat cell contents instead of breakfast seems a great benefit. Just a little running seems to have tightened up my midriff immediately!
I've certainly learnt from this to not let myself ever stop for too long again. I have lost the habit of getting out of bed to go running in the morning, and this week has been a huge struggle. I feel exhausted in the morning rather than enthusiatic.
In other breaking news the police are here today to interview a bunch of kids in my deaning year who broke into a shed last night. And another kid destroyed a kids bike helmet. And two others ended up in the girls loo somehow yesterday. Stupid stuff.
