Keep on running

Two runs this week, albeit short ones. Down the road, round the corner, along another road, turn left, turn left again into the water meadows, along by a pretty stream, round the college, back past the pub, and into our street. I can safely say that it's better running at 7.30 a.m. than an 5.30 p.m. Why? Fewer people around. And the fewer people there are, the less often you have to pick up the pace and pretend that you're not dying inside, not ready to vomit up a lung as soon as you get indoors. Oh yes, running outside is very different to running on a treadmill in front of The Bold & The Beautiful at the gym.
