Morning 🌞
Another nice sunny day,.for another good run, although today I couldn't seem to get comfortable, even though it was a good run.
The main culprit was the 4 hours yesterday spent going up and down a ladder, painting. Ladders always play havoc with calfs, hips and knees, and back, and even my pre run warmup & stretch couldn't fully iron out the aches... Still, glad I went.
Now coffee & porridge, before I get on today.
Corsetta rilassante stamattina perché il lunedì è sempre il lunedì ed ero reduce da un weekend di tre serate tra concertini e impicci vari per cui ho dormito ben poco tacci mia, e ormai non sono più il giaguaro di una volta, quando dormire era un optional 👍😅

Morning 🌞
The sun was rising when I left this morning, so today my run was totally in daylight. I am actually enjoying my daylight forays. I didn't do a loop as is my norm, because I wanted all my run this morning - off road, so when I reached the main road, I turned back and ran over the same ground.
The focus was running and fun, not on heart rate in a low zone. Anyway, an excellent start to the.day, and now; Coffee!
Well my asphaltphobia of tarmac didn't get cured today. First time in 2 years of running I get an injury and of course it happened on the dreaded flat, smooth and boring road surface. Somehow I landed wrong with my right leg and pulled something above my knee which sent pain round to the back of the leg and right up to my gluteus sexius, as the lass calls it ;)
Good news, I was thinking about walking the last 2k as Paddy boy was looking a bit hot under the collar... well more his black fur... so the run wasn't too ruined. And I still managed to get back to HQ in under two hours as I had hoped to do the run in.
Otherwise it was a good run and we crossed paths with two lads on mountain bikes a few times and we were greeted with friendly big smiles every time.
Now stretching and relaxing and feeding.

Set out to do 6k, but at 2k to go the trail became too overgrown to run and then just puff gone. I tried to get back to HQ via an olive grove which turned into an abandoned garden with stone paths, terraces and holders for what I guess to be for torches. I think it would have looked amazing in its hay day. Ended up being 5km but jolly good fun on a trail that must be for mountain bikers too and in places I was in awe that they could ride downhill and stay on track and not into a tree.

Good morning 🌞
A beautiful sunrise greeted the beginning of my run, then a bright sun and blue sky accompanied me for the rest.
It was actually pretty chilly this morning and the first couple of Km's I was wishing I had some.gloves,. but my hands soon found warmth, or maybe I just stopped noticing the cold.
So, another steady state, low HR run, if I didn't have things to do today, I could've easily gone longer -enjoyable running.
Oggi molto fiacco, ma tanto sulla spiaggia è sempre una festa 👣😚
So the choice of having 5k up and 10k down turned out to the the wrong decision/direction. As I got two nice cooling river crossing right from the start and had to run the rest of the 15k with wet feet. I should have gone the other direction and gotten a nice cooling foot bath 500m from the end.

Good morning 🌅
Another day, another steady state low heart rate run, this time with added hills, which made things slower, as hills try to dial up the HR.
Slow Trails, hills and main roads today... which isn't anywhere near as fun as slow trails and back lanes, but I needed to do a hill or two before I forget what they are.
Out in the daylight again, kinda miss the dark... we'll be back with the torch soon enough.
Good morning 🌄
A new day, and I'm out again in the daylight (obviously something wrong with this night runner🧐) for another even wetter 10k trail than the day before. Rain over night, really has cut up the surface, making it joyfully muddier.
Another steady state run, keeping the heart rate super low, and maximising the use of my body fat for fuel.
Now coffee and porridge with banana and dark chocolate nibs.
