Went running. It was incredibly hard today for some reason (low air pressure? too much going out in the sun the last few days? not enough sleep lately? horn performance yesterday? Kraft Dinner for lunch? who knows, really?). Walked my usual amount, ran for about five minutes before giving up and walking a lot more. By the time I felt ready to jog again I was at the big blue drawbridge (can't remember what this is called) just before a riverside pub, the GUN, which does Portuguese food.

Turned around, walked a bit more just to be sure, then jogged all the way from the pumping station to Island Gardens with three 40-pace breaks. It took 18 minutes. So that's a total of 21 minutes of running if I assume that the breaks took twenty seconds each and the five minutes I did at the beginning counts. It wasn't very fast, though, and didn't feel as good as it has in the past. Some of this is about turning up and doing it anyway even if I don't quite feel like it, and I know there will be variation in enjoyment levels, but I hope the rest of my runs are better than this, as the previous ones have been...

Now I am late for Borders. Oops. I was going to go for a quick 10-minute run, not a hour's worth of walking around and running to get back.
