I got up early this morning because I wanted to go for a run before I could talk myself out of it. I'm basically very lazy so I do tend to talk myself out of doing things and then regret it.
Set the Garmin up and off I went. I ran down through the village but after it starts coming back up hill after the bottom of the golf course I turned left along a different road which is a gentle decline going into a steeper decline and back up the other side.
A right turn then takes me up another road back onto the main road where it is flatter. I carry on outwards for another few minutes then turn around and come back along the main road. By the time I get to my house I still wanted to do a few minutes so carried on past my house and headed towards the village again.
A bit of banter with a man on the way out and then I quickly turned around and walked back home.
3.25 miles in 40.02 minutes. Pleased with that!

Day Twenty Four. Back to the running.
It was a work day for me but instead of parking where I normally do and walking down I had to use the car park near to my office. Today was the first day that I was actually going out visiting again as part of my job so I needed to get to my car a bit quicker.
Anyway that aside I was feeling more positive again today about exercise. So I donned my running gear and my Garmin and set off with no particular route or time in mind but still doing R2/W1. I ran around my block which takes me into the village, past the village green, the cricket club, golf club and pub and then drops me around the end of the golf course where it is very quiet and a bit lonely. It then climbs back up a hill, past some woods and up the road onto a main road, past the cemetery and rounds back onto my own road again. About a third of a mile brings me back to my house but I had only done about 18 minutes so carried on and did the circuit again.
So I did 3 miles in 39 minutes and then walked an extra minute to get home again. Woo hoo and I didn't feel like I was dying either.
Downside was that once again the Garmin hadn't picked up the satellites so no pretty graphs etc. Simon, my stepson, fiddles with it for a while and had a little walk with it and he got it to download the graphs so I have written out EXACTLY what I need to do to set it up to do what I want.
