I oma ahau ki te mahi
Running to work has definitely proven to be far simpler than I envisioned over the last couple of years. I thought it would be a slog, too hard to get up, too hard to run without a proper meal/coffee. Instead, I have been wakin gup at 5.50, alarm out of reach, coffee on, toilet stop, read the news and head out. Listening to podcasts and audiobooks means that the time is doubly productive. I'm almost TOO good! Haven't really pumped out a proper long run in the last two weeks. I think my legs are still getting up to speed with the big jump in distance from this time last term, but hopefully this weekend I will do a 26+km run on Sunday. No real aches or pains, slight niggle in the knee after a run but it goes away if I stretch properly. Just need to ensure I am following the routine. Funny how it is fine for some people to talk about going for a run in the afternoon as if it is a great thing, when I say I ran to work people act like I'm king of the blaggarts!
