My happy late afternoon plans of a run followed by beer followed by some LCD Soundsystem at the Camp and Furnace were dashed yesterday, when I was told that I needed to be in a meeting at 2pm, “which could go on for hours”.

Consequently, today’s running plans had to change, and I was up shortly before six to head out. I headed out, in the rain. Yes, I’ve been out in the rain and the snow, but not at six. This seemed one step more hardcore than previous inclement runs.

I forgot to take any ventolin and I started too fast, so I quickly ran out of breath. Inevitably, I could only potter around 4k before getting back to wake the kids. The run wasn’t helped by my body aching in all new places after my gym session yesterday.

A slightly unsatisfactory outing, but more than made up for by getting up and out bright and early. Tomorrow might be harder, if I’m out until the early hours.

I’ll put the garmin stats here later (when I’ve uploaded them!)
