I agree with David, happiest of holidays to you and the Flann family and to all of the RPers out there.
It's nice to let go of the metrics sometimes. I often do this on the weekends if I'm not training for something. I don't pay attention to time or pace or anything else. I just go. During the week I'm limited to my lunch break and what time I can get in the early morning hours, which isn't my favorite thing. So most of the time I need to pay attention. Those days when I don't though, that's the good stuff!
I normally do morning runs, but those feel like they run into the limitation of needing to get back for work. Lately I've mixed in some evening runs and even though dinner needs to happen, it feels less pressing than getting back and ready for work. I kinda like those as low stakes runs.
Happy holidays to you and the family, Paul! And to everybody here at RP!
One thing I've enjoyed about the cold weather is that by wearing a long sleeve shirt, I can easily cover up my watch and ignore it. I also have turned off the vibration function so I can avoid getting that buzz that might take me out of the proverbial chill zone.
Wife and I are headed to London next week for nine days. We're staying with friends and I'm bringing my running stuff with me. I've only been to London once, back in 2010 before I was back into regular running. I've already started mapping out some general spots I want to run to while I'm there. I'm super excited to just get out there and frankly get lost for a bit. I'll have my phone so I can find my way back to our friends' place, but I can just hop down to the Thames and run up and down, or maybe cross some of the bridges, run to Buckingham Palace. I'm hoping to get 3 or 4 runs in while I'm there and can't wait to explore the city through running.
