Day 20 (yesterday). 6.30pm.
Really quite painful. Kept pace but I think it’s a tendon thing. Probably stopping. Bit disappointed.
Still, not a bad mile count or run of days. Le sigh.

Day 20. Rest day. Ankle too bad but it will be better tomorrow. Disappointed but I’d rather finish it. Also, rain.
Treated myself to a compression sock.

Day 19. 7am.
Tasty mist. Not at all cold. Really tho.
Ankle quite hideously painful when walking, but ran on it fine. Not sure what that means.

Day 18. 8.30am.
Chipping away at the time, third fastest 5K ever!
Had a *moment* with “Hounds of Love” (Bush not ‘Heads) and this tree.
Today’s big news is that I’m washing my running socks… local population, you’re welcome.

Day 17. 12 noon.
Sun too hot, high noon cowboy sunblind. More dogs would’ve been nice. Non-specific ankle adjacent twinge, but kept pace even if it felt slow.

Day 16. 8.30am.
Started with this banger in my ears, the sunrise over the common felt apropos. Pushed harder towards intervals, sliding my way to 25 minutes. More light, less rush-hour cars. Win/win.

Day 14. 6.45am.
Another emo sky picture. There was a perfect “Dreamworks” moon. Slippy ground but not that cold.
Seen the same morning walker 3 days in a row. We waved.
(I did run yesterday but didn’t diarise.)

Day “Legs” 11, actually. 9am.
Back to pace. Quiet & damp. Pacesetter Rock pushed me on. Shoved some flytipped furniture to the pavement-side.

Day 10. 10am. “Ran” it with my 12 year old, slower but we did the distance. Frosty & slippy. Sunny skies, cold fingers.

Day 9. 8.15am. Legs felt better, 24 respite helps. Fridays still quieter for traffic. Sophie’s Kitchen Disco helped. Housewarming party tonight so tomorrow might be tough.

Day 8. 7.30am. Legs a bit more treacly today. Harder work. Getting hungrier early each day. Made it out before the weather bomb, er, bombed.

Day 7. Long shadows. Quiet streets. Warm enough to take my gloves off. Less motivated to get up & out but felt great after. Itchy legs.

So far, so good. Saw all the pickles. Gentle pace because ankle & Prosecco.
