Iβm nearly 51, iβve been #running nearly 20 years and Iβm just not interested in fast running. I have no need to prove anything, no desire to push myself to my limits, i have not one competitive bone in my body β¦ and all these benefits of moderate moderation means a) no #run is ever a disappointment, b) I never get injured (apart from once grazing my palms slipping on gravel), and c) i stay forever youthful ππ

There are three temperature scenarios in which I always choose NOT to run fast:
Hot, cold and anywhere in between.
Todayβs snailing #run is brought to you courtesy of the words HOT, SLOW and LIGHT EMERALD MOTH β¦ mothing being my other hobby β¦ and had nine of these delicate little green flappers visit overnight.

Whilst Iβve not had to compete with the sweltering temperatures of last summer, Mother Nature has served up torrential rain and strong winds instead. Despite this, I managed to notch up 141km for the month.

This month has been about going the extra mile or two β increasing the distance of my daily run by an average of 20% (with a few longer runs too).
132km notched up in July. The unseasonably wet and windy weather can jog on please π§οΈ ππ»ββοΈ

π Aerobic Endurance Run - 70min Z2 | 6:08/km | 1:10:36 | 11.51km | 1431kcal
Rounding off the week with a 70 min LSR. Out on the Leeds Liverpool Canal past the Turf, dropping back into Burnley down Trafalgar Street and Centenary Way. Another lucky break in the weather.
π 60min Z2 (5:45/km) | 1:01:57 | 10.7km
Closed the weekend with a long run around Burnley, after a thunder and lightning storm cleared. Legs were tired from a climb on Rouvy this morning - so pleased with overall speed and endurance.

Itβs easy to find excuses not to #run β June was no exception: β¨π₯΅ Too hot
π΄ Too tired
π€§ Hay fever
π€ Bruised and bashed body (skateboarding antics)
π Sore back (clearing local stream)
Whilst itβs important to listen to your body, most excuses are just that β excuses!
110km clocked up in June. Whilst a few of the excuses slowed me down a little, I didnβt let them stop me. To June I say jog on ππ»ββοΈ

When mothman is not mothylising heβs running round the park at snail miles an hour. Here is a London Plane tree where itβs not impossible to find a Lime Hawkmoth.

Some days #running feels easy β everything just flows. Most days it takes effort, concentrating on breathing and pace. Then there are days like today, where nothing feels right and you have to dig much deeper than unusual.
Iβm blaming the heat, hay fever, that itβs Friday, and that Iβm still a tad bruised from #skateboarding escapades a couple of weeks ago.
But tough days are ok. The hard kms give credit in the bank for the easier days ahead.
