c25kO hai, it's been a while.
I have been running. It's just I've also had a number of skips lately. I haven't actually quite reached the point where I'm entirely comfortable with skipping a run, because the more I've skipped the easier it is and that way just leads to inactivity. And I'm not the most disciplined of people at the best of times, so I need to be really careful with skipping runs now that I've finally got started again.
So I've skipped a few, but I've never skipped when I didn't feel like it was at least in a small way justified. I've never skipped solely because I didn't want to go. I never want to go, but there have been other reasons as well.
I skipped one because of TMI Girly stuff. No need to elaborate further. I suspect the women here will understand.
I skipped one because we're in the middle of the driest, hottest summer in years, probably decades. June was the driest June since they started measuring. Those of you in the UK know well the situation. It was after work, the warmest part of the day, and I'd had rather an unpleasant experience after running in the heat the time before. (Got home from run and spent the entire cooling down period on my back on the bathroom floor just in case, because I genuinely feared I might be on the verge of heat exhaustion. Didn't have one, but Not. Fun. Will not repeat.)
And I skipped this last Saturday and Monday because we were in the UK over the weekend. Yes, you can get a touch of jetlag travelling between Denmark and the UK when flight delays mean you can't get to bed until 3am Saturday morning, don't have the luxury of sleeping in afterwards, and still have to go to work Monday morning!
But today I went out, and again it was hot and dry and hot and although it's my day off, I seem to be incapable of running in the morning when the sun is not beating down quite so hard. I keep telling myself it's what I'll do. Have yet to manage it. On top of that, I accidentally started the next run instead of repeating the run from last time as intended. I only discovered this when I was instructed to run for 9 minutes rather than the expected 8! Challenge, however, accepted.
In all humility, I am dead chuffed that I completed it.
Also, in other news, have received that phone armband, so first run without having to move my sim card to the old phone and also first run without having a phone stuffed down the front of my bra. Not certain how I'm going to get on with it, it might be a question of getting used to it, but it's definitely a step up from the bra.
