A run in the sun

The weather forecast for the weekend was for sun! Guess what, it rained most of Saturday and was raining when I went to bed last night. However, when I got up this morning the sky was clear and it promised to be a beautiful day.
I’m on a recovery week so I’ve been doing about half the mileage I would normally do but there was no way I was only going to do just 10K this morning! It was just too lovely. I decided to do the Tamaki Drive route along the coast and it was glorious.
The only negative of the run was that it took me quite a while to get into the groove of things. I think it was because my ipod wiped itself somehow and I had no music or podcast to listen to. After a while I forgot about that and just enjoyed the ambiance of nature and all the people out jogging, walking and cycling.
Actually, there was one other negative in this run. As I turned on to Tamaki Drive a guy running with a big poodle ran by and I set out to catch and pass him. 4 km later I was still about 10 metres behind him and I only managed to pass him because the poodle stopped to empty his bowels! C’est la vie!
Overall it was a great run and I really enjoyed it. 18.13 km in 1:42:22.
This brings my total for the month to over 200 km for the first time. I’m quite pleased by that I’ll tell you!
I also seem to have inspired corrupted another friend. One more victim of C25K!

Ha, I wouldn’t worry about that other guy - he had poodle power to help him along. Looks like a nice route for a run and I bet the sun was lovely.

200km in one month is impressive indeed. I’m going to have to try for that in September - weather looks great today. Hope its a sign of things to come!

Supposed to just get out and enjoy the run, not competing with a guy with the poodle, eh!

I am always impressed by the distances you accomplish. Great job! Don’t worry too much about your weight fluctuations. It will eventually kick in to going back your way!
Keep up the great work!
