Distance: 7.58km
Time: 38:30
I'm out the door tonight and off on my run, it's too late I've gone out running semi-naked! Nothing major, I had my shorts but I was missing my iPod!
For those that don't know naked running isn't about running with it all hanging out (good job, I'd get some funny looks running like that) it's about running without technology and more about going out and enjoying a run ( see www.thenakedrunners.com for more info)
For some it must be great running and being able to listen to the world go by, not knowing how far you've gone or your split times must be great. For me it was hell.
I'd always thought that music motivated me, but running tonight I just didn't enjoy it, by about half way round I was all for stopping and walking home. I had to tell myself that was just stupid and not having my iPod was no reason to stop running!!
Thinking about it, it's quite sad that I'm so dependent on my iPod, but strangely I did feel less focused without it. Granted when I do have it my mind just wonders and thinks about not a right lot.
Looking at my time there is no difference to my other runs, so it must all by psychological and nothing more. Either way, I'll be making sure I take my iPod next time!!!
The weather was very different to my last run. Today was hot an muggy, and for me I'd prefer to run in the rain - which is good given I live in Manchester!!
I'm also finding myself being talked into doing a half marathon in November. Knowing me I'll sign up just for the challenge!!
