Morning Run - Dedication's what you need

I just finished a 6.992km running that lasted about 0hh:39mm:51ss !

Some older Brits will recognise the title. I had a small celebration at beating a personal record today.

It was another dry, but cool morning as I headed back up the hill to Fairfield. I was taking it very gently until I got near the top. Then it was off to do the clockwise Strava segment loop. You will see the shift on the screenshot. The loop does go up and down a bit, but I kept pushing and found some extra speed at the end. I knocked six seconds off my previous time. I know that is not a lot, but any improvement is welcome. This is just over half the parkrun distance, so I need to see if I can keep that pace up a bit longer.

I eased off for the run home as I was tired. I definitely seem to have more energy for getting up hills lately, but a hard run leaves me a little drained.

When I got back I picked a few raspberries to have with my breakfast. It has been a great crop this year. I am also eating apples from our trees rather than buying bananas and we get some eggs from the chickens. I even made the bread I had for lunch. It is good to know where your food comes from.

Run free and stay well.

Congrats on beating the record. Our alarm went off at 4 as usual this morning and I went to get up and my wife said nope. We ended up sleeping for another hour. We deserve to take a break every now and then...

I find that crazy early. My alarm goes off at 7 as I work from home, but my other half is up earlier and so I wake up too.

It never gets easier let me tell you. Even when you have it down to habit.
