Lots done today, this morning was spent supping coffees at Caffe Nero and working through Youth Zone stuff. Some of the coding for the system I’m working on has been done wrong by a colleague and it was slightly disheartening to have to work through that. However, it was good to go through things with Robert and others. I could quite easily adopt the place as my third ‘home’ office (after the kitchen table and Puddletown Pirates).
This afternoon was a whirl of skypes, plans and getting stuff done. While Jude took Lily to go cross-country running.
Inspired by Lily’s venture and perhaps more by the awesome run by “academicontherun” today, I thought I’d give my foot a test on the road to see how it goes. Just a short plod down the long mile (to the Beaufort) and back again.
More skyping this evening meant that it was past 9 when I left the house and after about 2k I had a crunching stitch and was losing breath. Probably as much to do with the pace of about 6 mins per km than having just eaten. So my last km was a bit of a walk and run affair. That pace felt fine for the first couple of km, but is much faster than I’ve run in the past; so was perhaps ill-judged.
Not the most tremendous of runs as a first venture out, but that doesn’t matter, I’m really pleased to have gone out and pleased that my foot feels fine. If it’s ok tomorrow I’ll give it a little further, perhaps at a slower pace.
And the video for Haim, ‘Falling’. Quite fun as a first running song.
