Day 169 - 20 April 2011

Wednesday
5 mile run

They are forecasting another really warm and sunny day today.  But I can tell you that at 5am, it's blimmin chilly! It's 6 deg C but with a chilly 5mph N wind with gusts of 9mph. These gusts don't bother you if you're heading south, but if you're running towards the north, you'll soon know it.

My route was strewn with foxes and cats.  They were everywhere!  But I had my running app going as well as listening to Michael McIntyre, so every time I got my iPhone out to get the camera going, all my others apps stopped and had to be re-started again.  *sigh*   So by the time I had the camera on, the foxes had long gone.  But they looked beautiful though.  They appeared to be quite young too.

The moon over in the south west
I was running for 95% of the 5 miles this morning, so I was really pleased to warm up.  I've got an app that reminds me to break back into a walk for 60 seconds before running again.  It's helping with my pace and looking after my knee at the same time by not putting too much of a strain on it and allowing it to build up strength as I'm running further each week.

I ran up Nemesis Hill, although it was good to get to the top and find that my pace had increased by 30%.  Hurray :-)

I then headed towards the sea.  Due to the lack of wind, the waves were just ripples, but the sea mist that's been with us practically all week was still very much present.  Such a shame, as it keeps the temperature low during the day.  But I'm not really complaining....it is after all, only April.

Got to the sea cliffs to find a certain Husband and Dog out walking...

I caught up with Ian, who had been out on his run and was now taking our dog Foggy out for a walk.  As you can see, he's still got his running tights on, but is keeping warm with a dodgy looking hoody...

The days are flying past so quickly...at this rate, it'll be Autumn next week.  But I'm trying to make the most of each and every spring day - it's really glorious out there.
