“Either you run the day, or the day runs you.”
10th October
Not sure if I can run in the morning. Where did the Summer go and leave Winter in so quickly. I will need a long sleeve and a woolly cap. All I have is my Summer gear and the winter stuff was either dumped or buried at the bottom of a cupboard. Hope I washed it before I put it away. Could be a fair hum from some of the gear if it didn’t see the washing machine before I stashed it. I suppose nothing major ahead until the Turkey Trot and it would be ok to miss a run. I’ll sort the gear for next week. I hate missing a run,
10th January
Not sure I can run in the morning. Baltic weather out there. Frost and ice in the forecast for tomorrow morning. Have to be careful, as one slip and a fall on icy footpaths and it could be a hip or a collar bone out of action for the year. Bambi on ice comes to mind. Couldn’t be taking a chance on it. I’ll stay in bed and let the lunatics off for themselves. You have to mind yourself. A nice hot whiskey before bed and set no morning alarm call. Bad start to the Year, World domination may have to be put on hold for a while. I hate missing a run.
10th April
Not sure I can run in the morning. Where in the name of God did that wind come from. One of those storms that blow in from the Atlantic named after some imbecile in the weather department. Storm Lilith I ask you. How can we have respect for a storm named after a character in ‘Cheers’. It could be a bit wild and bring down a few trees or branches. I can handle most weather conditions but wind and rain is just not nice. I wouldn’t like to get a cold or the flu and be suffering for the Easter Holidays. I hate missing a run.
10th July
Not sure I can run in the morning. You couldn’t make this up. A heatwave in Ireland just as I am hitting my peak in training. Tropical temperatures during the day and night. Advisory to not over exert the body in these conditions, and to be fair it is like a sauna out there.
'Hot summer nights, mid-July
When you and I were forever wild'.... Lana Del Rey
I have the fair skin complexion of a Northern European with zero tolerance for very hot temperatures. I’m sweating putting on my running gear. Can you imagine exposing my milky white legs and arms to that sun, I could be scalded. George Lee says this could become the new normal. Will I even bother replacing my running shoes as they could be sticking in the tar like the current ones. I had great plans for July to be ready for the Autumn. I hate missing a run.
In Ireland we are lucky to live in a temperate climate where outdoor activities are possible all year round if you actually want to do it. 6.30am is a beautiful time of the day on the Greenway at the moment. Existence precedes essence, I run therefore I am.
Have a lovely weekend and stay safe.
