Nearly 5. Nearly 5!

I haven’t managed a run due to work or the weather for 9 days so I was determined to get out tonight.

Today was sunny but still a chilly -3 with wind chill.

I’ve had a number of large projects delivered and yesterday was a very long stressful day working on two live global satellite broadcasts from Turkey.

Today was a milder pace at work by comparison and the sun and light evening gave me incentive to run.

There was no plan, I simply donned my trainers and hit the road.

Considering how cold and how long it’s been since I’ve been running I’m really pleased I nearly managed 5k tonight.

I did hit an Alice though (a new term for running head long into high wind) and this got to my chest but I persevered.

There were a few other runners out tonight but I’m not surprised as the big marathons are in a few weeks in London etc.

I am thinking about finding a charity place for the Royal Parks Half in October as I would like to run with my friends (after I talked them into it). I’d also like to raise more money for a good cause and a half marathon will ensure I keep up the training.

Fastest track was Run Boy Run by Woodkid 🙂

The weather report is no better for the weekend (but thankfully no snow) and we have family visiting from tomorrow. I hope and aim to try and get at least one run in over the Easter break.

Have a cracking time everyone!
