fighting fit! in Summertime, and the living is easy... 2015

I had a fantabulous run this morning! My alarm went off mid dream, which isn’t usually a good thing; I stumbled to the bathroom and had to switch the light on! The first time this summer that it has been dark when I got up to run :-(

My plan was to run six miles which I struggled to do last week, but I planned to slog on…

Well, there was no slog involved! I hit the point where I usually start to feel the struggle and was merrily singing along to:

And a mile later I was running past Lyf’s old house (they moved last week) (oh, new people, Lyf was a boy I looked after from four months old until he started school a year ago) feeling good and starting the long long, gentle uphill that is the prequel to the Short Sharp Shock which is the steep uphill that leads to the footbridge into our ‘burb. That was the start of the last mile and I didn’t have to convince myself to run it by telling myself that I can run a mile because I was just enjoying it.

And this song is a great one to lose yourself in as you run.

It’s runs like these that make the last sixteen weeks worth it :-)
