It’s been getting colder recently, but today was much milder, with cloud cover that threatened rain. It stayed dry, though I had decided to go for a run in any case.
The first half of my current short run is largely uphill and it was hard work, but in a different way to my recent runs. Instead of heavy knees I felt as if I wanted to run a little quicker but simply could not.
Obviously the second half is largely downhill and this made enough of a difference for me to stretch my legs out… seemingly for the first time in an age.
The overall time was the same as recent runs (just under 2 miles in just over 20 minutes), but I felt as if I made good time on the way home.
I meant to take a photo en route but there was so much going on that I kept forgetting until I was back. There seems to be a lot of money being spent on building works, with a number of older houses receiving contemporary makeovers… it’s always lovely to see people taking pride in their environment and even the grass verges looked neat for a change.
