Cognitively kicking & screaming

I woke up too early this morning, with a head full of work.

Early enough to do my yoga set, then sit in the teahouse with a coffee, reading an old copy of New Scientist, and then sit playing my guitar whilst drinking a second cup.

All of which was a huge diversion tactic to put off going for a run.

Cognitively kicking & screaming, I eventually ventured out of the door.

I wasn’t in the right frame of mind for it to be a particularly fulfilling run, so instead it was just hard graft (which you can see from the pic below).

Mind you, I did at least notice that it was a lovely warm day… and that a whole series of people returned my passing greeting 🙂

1.97 miles in 20 minutes (I’m still not sure how the same route can vary in distance by so much from one week to the next!) and still back before 8am.
