BACK TO THE OLD ROUTINE

First “post holiday” run through the DGP and along the banks of the majestic Clyde today. Lovely – seriously.

There was a bit of drizzle but not enough to make it uncomfortable and there was hardly any wind. Probably not what I should have done, but I was enjoying it so much I just kept on cranking up the pace a bit and ended up getting round in 6:33 pace. Not horrifically fast, but I’ll probably regret it when I’m out doing 10 miles or so tonight with the club. The only bit I slowed down was when I gingerly edged past an all too familiar log.

I think one of the reasons that I enjoyed it so much is that the schools are now back fulfilling their essential role as places of containment. The park and the river side walkway were noticeably quieter than they have been these past few months.
