I said in my last post I was concerned about how I’d go coming back after the break enforced by COVID.
I notice three things.
- Physically I have more recovery to do and that was tough. That’s ok, kind of, even though the ‘current normal’ is harder to embrace and be happy about. There’s an element of why me that shows up in this which of course is futile as it holds no answer except ‘c’est la vie’ in the most positive realisation of that expression, if we choose. It happened, it’s part of being human, and how will you respond? In fact the answer to that question is what moves me the most in the next part.
- My pace, when compared with when I first began this journey is quicker. So in the ‘anxiety about lost condition’ conversation, I have a happy answer. A relieving answer might be a better word. Interesting how the reflection helps me move through this.
- This time I did 8k which is 2.3k more than the previous run post COVID.
You can see someone is working hard.
My Strava thoughts are succinct in the moment…
============
Down around the lake and almost back – dead legs!
22 down… ? to go.
Let’s keep going #whileistillcan
