I know I'm getting my joy for running back when I'm looking forward to getting up on a day off to meet mates for a social run. Alarm set for seven hours from now. Time to sleep.

Day of Rest
Sat 21st Jan ‘23
I’ve decided to use Saturday as a rest day. It makes sense, even if it means that running at parkrun isn’t to be on the cards. If my long run is going to be regularly done on a Sunday, it’s best to be fresh for it. With that in mind, I volunteered at parkrun, instead of running. I ran an easy 6k yesterday before work. It wasn’t on Coach’s plan, but makes a fifth run in the week, once I’ve done the long run. That will make a decent week’s mileage.
There’s a social run planned for 9am tomorrow, a twenty-five minute out and back. If I do about ninety minutes before that, I could join in and get my 20k done. I’m not sure yet if I’ll do that. I might be in too bad a mood once I’ve run approximately nine miles to be amongst other runners :-D
Another social run? Who even am I?

Feeling great at the minute. So good, I’m planning ANOTHER social run in the morning! Sonic and I were texting and we’ve planned an easy 10k at 8am. Will I get through the whole run without revealing my Manchester/London plans? Hmm. I’ll definitely try to keep schtum. I was tempted today on the run, to tell one of the guys who’s also started his Manchester training. I didn’t though. Yet,

That was great this morning. I can sometimes spend a whole day off in my pjs. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever, but it’s nice to have a reason to get dressed. This was TGG’s idea. He posted on our social media that we could meet at 9am for a relaxed forty minute run, twenty minutes out and back. That way, it doesn’t matter that there are varying paces, we all end up back at the starting point at the same time. Pace and distance are irrelevant. It works well in a group of such disparate abilities.
Apart from getting a run in, the other important point is the social aspect of it. It was lovely to meet up with club mates after Christmas. And it was a good idea to warm up in a coffee shop afterwards.
It’s testament to my rising confidence that I’m enjoying social runs again. When I’m low, I find it intimidating to run amongst others. Not so today. It was all good.

Join us for the first social run of 2015! We will be at LUCK at Trinity Groves again to help promote the Trinity River Levee Run. Participation in the run is free, but please register so we can get a good headcount for the venue. Pre-registration will also help us get the legal stuff out of the way ahead of time. :)
