Yesterday on the first working day of the year, I managed to get up at 6am, drive to work, change into my running gear and hit the Norwich streets for a light 20 minute jog around the city - there was also a brisk 10 minute walk before it as my Garmin was taking a while to get a GPS fix.
This was my first run in about a month and to be honest it was good running that early in the morning.
Got back to work and was getting change when the chap next to me in the changing rooms remarked there were more people this morning than usual but it will be back to normal in a few weeks - it was clearly a dig at me but joked back, "by the end of the week more like".
It amused me because he was then talking to his friend about planning to do a long 20 mile cycle into work soon - the temptation to mention I had run 63 miles in one go was ultimately resisted but it does go to show how we can be guilty of judging a book by its cover.
Today, yes two days in a row, I did a lunchtime run as a group of us were planning to do a short hill session but it has been moved to Friday, so in the end it was just me trying to run up Carrow Hill in Norwich, only to be vastly out-paced by a female runner who seem to glide up the hill.
I did achieve two runs up it, then did some light running before tackling the infamous Thorn Lane, a short but steep hill.
