So, below is the run I did yesterday on the 22nd December. I was using my old shoes, my trusty mizuno wave creation 9's. The poor sods - they have totally had it. I promised those shoes retirement a while back...It was yesterday out of sheer despereration i had to drag them out kicking and screaming.
The run - first really of my training was done in darkness - I really like to run in the dark because there are less people around to hear me shouting at myself and to see me pulling constipated faces as a go uphill. I also make stupid noises and talk to myself. If anyone was as weird as me and saw me run past, they would call the police. Thus, i think its better for society if i run as much as possible AWAY from society....
It was a hill. My god what a hill. I think the stats said it was about 600 feet going gently up, a quick stop at my friends house for a biscuit and a chat (and a gentle bollocking by his lovely mum coincididentally) and then back up the hill. His mum was probably right. Why make running any more 'lethal' than it already is? Point semi conceeded - I will bring a phone next time, but i refuse to wear a florrie jacket - ill just dive into bushes every time i see those slow beams of headlights sweeping though the night...i only ever see a car every half hour anyway. Im moving to southampton in January - boy will that be a change. Man I miss running along the beach in summery bournemouth - THE GLORY DAYS...
Why do marathons have to be in spring? Any answers anybody?
Overally, i think that was a nice starting run...Im thinking i should create a new schedule and also buy some new shoes just as soon as the january sales arrive. Give my old veteran shoes a chance to rest in peace!
