first run in loughborough

a quick post – just ran for the first time since coming here for about 1/2 hour in town. the weather in the morning was sunny and warm and really inviting to run in but, sadly, it did not last. by the time i got out at 3pm, it was cloudier and windier. nonetheless, i warmed up and set off, reminding myself that i had to work off all the calories gained from the cheesecakes and fish and chips i had been eating (more on my first first and chips later (:

i had thought the run would be a good time of exploration and enjoyment as i ran on new ground, listening to songs like michelle branch’s ”breathe” and jennifer lopez’s “feelin’ so good”. unfortunately, i didn’t really feel that way while running. instead of clearing my head, the wind, which was quite strong, gave me a headache and i had to cover my nose with my palms in my jacket quite a few times to keep it warm. the track pants, long “jane”s and PL jacket i was wearing was sufficient enough but it didn’t keep out the cold entirely. quite badly needed a tissue too as my nose was leaking a little.

but, despite of all of this, i’m glad i did run. feel a little healthier now and know my way around a bit more. also, don’t want to be very out of shape when i go back - will never do 21k if that’s the case! however, i do feel kind of sleepy now haha. think i’ll catch a short nap later (: going off to bathe. take care everybody!
