Prioties

Rule 1:
No running unless all the washing up has been done.

Rule 2:
No running unless the whole house has been vacuumed within the last week.

Rule 3:
No running unless there is no evidence that any dusting, furniture/mirror polishing needs to be done.

Rule 4:
No running unless the bath, basins, toilets, sink and bathroom window ledge has been cleaned within the last week.

Rule 5:
No running unless at least one hour of gardening has been done within the last week. (March to October only)

Rule 6:
No running unless all the laundry has been ironed (where necessary) and PROPERLY put away.

Rule 7:
No running if there is no bread in the freezer and therefore bread-making is required.

Overcoming runner apathy - Just Do It!

Long time since my last Coventry run.
I was telling myself that my Leamington runs - once or twice a week - and the amount of walking I do - would make up for falling down on my 4x per week 3-mile runs. But I knew I was lying to myself.

Hopefully, this blog, as well as my Twitter & Facebook postings, will restore my motivation.

If I'd been keeping up with runs, since September 2016, this would have been Yr 5 wk 50 run 198.
Anyway, I did the run and here it is:

3.08 mi run -   #Runkeeper http://rnkpr.com/ah2to3l

38 mins 08 secs is pretty poor. That is 12 mins 0.69 secs per mile.

I'm still hoping to reclaim my glory days of a 10 min mile, achieving a time of 30 mins.

One day.

I had been feeling blue about my time, until I scrolled back through my run times since September 2016: all 82 of them that were tracked by Runkeeper - yes I'm OCD enough to keep a log of my runs - and I found that on 22 occasions I'd achieved 12 mins 20 secs, or worse. 
The dates of these poor runs ranges from: 
26th Sept 2016, 
19th Oct, 
8th & 9th Nov
16th & 17th Nov
25th Jan 2017
6th, 7th, 8th & 9th March 
13th & 14th March
11th May 
18th & 19th May

25th May

12th June

22nd June

26th & 27th June

I can't see any rhyme or reason to the variation.
These poor times go from 12.20mins to 13.29mins, with everything in between.
