Morning run - Up and over

Today was one of those days when I just felt like going out and running with no real plan. I used by route that goes up the big hill to Fairfield. The weather was good with just a little wind.

As well as the usual dog walkers I saw a group of runners who each had a dog attached to them. I know that Canicross is a fairly big thing. One of those dogs did run at me and bark, but they were going the other way and so were gone in a flash. I do not think there is an equivalent for cats and our cat never goes far anyway. I saw another dog try to chase after a squirrel. There are plenty of those around Fairfield.

I was feeling fairly good on this run and so was able to push a bit hard on my way back down the hill. That gave me my third quickest time on Strava for that segment. I took it easy on the way home after that. I may have missed some of the school run as it was fairly quiet through the village.

I am averaging about 30km per week lately, which is what I had hoped for this year. My monthly half marathons contribute to that.

Last night I watched Mad Max: Fury Road. That is a very silly movie, but it was some fun escapism.

Run free and stay well.
