Weekly-ish Running Update - faster than usual...
It was probably the nice weather over the last week that meant i was a bit more up for it than usual and so my pace has picked up too.
Not that I'm not usually up for it, I am usually, but just especially so this last week.
I got three decent runs in.... 2 5Ks and then one longer 9K yesterday morning.
Run one - around the streets...
I fancied something a bit different last Weds so I headed out up to sixth form college and then back through town, it's a nice little slightly hilly 5K... pretty happy with the pace too...
Run two - the classic 5K...
The usual run around the river, fastest in a while, not that I was trying or anything, I was just up for it I guess!
Run three - 9K country easy...
I headed out Sunday around 7.30, perfectly pleasant weather, I didn't aim to go too fast, just a nice gentle trot, and the odd walk section, briefly, to keep my HR down...
Final thoughts...
I'm happy with all of this, and I've been hitting the circuits this week too, so lots more activity than usual, not to mention more cleaning of the house than usual.
It's good to work those muscles with a bit of good old physical labour!

Excellent physical activity, man. Especially that Sunday run burned a lot of calories. I realized I don't run at all these days, even though I had a nice long walk recently, running is healthier.
Walking is still good, one of the best exercises out there!
