It's 7am. I'm out the door. Just up the drive I see...
"Morning sheep!" I begin my 10 min warm-up walk as specified on my program. A gorgeous scent wafts past my nostrils. Aha! that's why...
10 minutes later, I'm fed up with walking. I'm warmed up. At the crossroad I can go left or right. Right leads up a hill. I go left...
At last, grass. I start my 4 minutes jog. The dew-soaked grass gives me wet feet immediately...
This small rise leads to the river, where it all flattens out. The river is so tranquil this morning...
This part is beautiful and flat. As I run along, quicker now, I see a heron fishing in the river. You'll have to look hard to spot him...
All too soon, I'm at the halfway stage. Just touch the wall by the steps and then turn back...
I retrace my route, running gently 4 minutes on, 1 off. It's been so long since I've run, I'm shocked by how hard I find myself breathing. I see the steam of the paper factory rising vertically in the still, cool morning air. It's been a beautiful run, but it's over all too soon.
I lean my soggy Roclites against the wall of the house to dry and think; This is a sight to stir any runner's soul...
Roll on tomorrow!
