It was sunny when I set off. But that didn’t last. The rain started withing 5 minutes, and continued right through the run. But then running in the rain can be quite nice right?

The rain wasn’t the bad part of this run. That was the fact that I seem to be getting slower and slower, and the same run getting harder each time. I don’t really have an explanation for it. I know I haven’t been as prolific with my running, and that the first run after a break, even quite a short break, is often really hard. But usually after one or two it begins to get easier. But this time that hasn’t happened. At least not yet.

For the first time in a long time I have seriously though that maybe I would stop running altogether. Maybe a bit extreme, but for me running has always been enjoyable. It started as almost a meditative activity, where I could put aside worries for a while. It has also been a great way to get out and explore an area. But if it is not enjoyable then I need to ask myself whether it is worth it. So perhaps this will be the last Running post!

Of course that is probably a bit extreme. Watch this space!
