2011 Streak Day 132/365: Evening in the park

2011 Streak Day 132/365: Run - 3.25 miles, Time - 30min 47sec, Weather - mellow


As a rule I like getting out in the morning as it helps my self-discipline by cutting off opportunities for procrastination. But that is only really the case when I am going to be out for an hour or more. As I am not running very far at the moment, no more than 30 minutes, it doesn't feel like an expedition, which has to be geared-up for. It just feels like popping out.
This changes my attitude and I don't wally around but go when it feels most convenient. For the last two runs this has been in the evening and very pleasant it has been.
It helps that recently the weather has been good and evenings have had a summer mellowness that brings people out, just to socialise. 
At the moment I am running around Gadebridge Park and it is full of people, sitting, playing games, strolling, walking dogs, etc,etc. The whole atmosphere feels relaxed. In my own way I am joining-in the recreation: toddling along, not pushing too hard, just keeping going, nodding a greeting to other runners.
At the moment it suits me just fine.
