At the start of the month, I was feeling optimistic which soon turned to frustration. My good intentions were thwarted by my husband being busy at work, me being busy at work, teething related tiredness and some sadistic little illness that was like being whacked on the head with a sledgehammer for several days.
Optomism is back. I've finally cracked the stalemate that's dragged on for 7 weeks by going for a 25 minute run last night. I wanted it to be a comfortable run, and I did well considering the long break and the fact that I'd already tried to break myself at circuits 13 hours earlier.
It was rather enjoyable with the air having been freshened by a major thunderstorm a few hours earlier. Fortunately the flash floods had drained away, and the manholes ceased to bubble water from underneath. It was humid, but pleasant, although I returned home looking like I'd been caught in a downpour. I saw some distant flashes just as I returned home, but they didn't amount to much.
Today's aches and pains have originated from circuits and been focused on my upper body rather than from the run which is promising. Although it was far too long without a run, there had been some good workouts in there between circuits, buggy babes (usually carrying a 3 year old) and the hill walking.
Typically I manage to connect back up with my mojo days before going on holiday to interrupt the flow, but school holidays mean the prognosis is good after that... hmm... we'll see... October isn't so comfortably distant...
