The cost of running

I forced myself out of bed this morning for a run, and am I glad I went. It was a beautiful morning, quiet enough with walkers but increased car activity. Now that lockdown is easing, people are going back shopping and playing football and doing other things so the footpaths are much quieter – noticeably so around here. It’s definitely good for me in terms of running if there’s less people out and about.

I think I will stick to the pre-work running. Really just means getting up a bit earlier when it comes to my structured runs during the week. And finding a quiet route. Also going to bed earlier, which is hard on the fine evenings. Everything has a cost.
