They decided to come undone at least three times during the first three kilometres before I finally got them to behave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I went for a run earlier than usual because rain is forecast for this afternoon and if I go after lunch then I get rained on. I prefer not to run in the rain, if I can avoid it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It rained anyway, but light rain. The type that doesn&#8217;t soak your clothes and you down to the bone. It was rain that is noticed, but doesn&#8217;t stick around. It evaporates by the time you&#8217;re done with the run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today&#8217;s run was meant to be a 5.6km run and I did run most of the distance, except for the three stops to retie shoe laces, and a short walk when I felt I didn&#8217;t have much energy after yet another climb. A run that should have taken half an hour took fourty minutes. I did not feel as energetic as sometimes and this wasn&#8217;t helped by having to stop and start a few times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m on week 11 of 12 of this training program so when next week is done I will be able to try another training program. The aim will still be 5k, but with a better time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And Finally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am trying to develop a running habit but I still don&#8217;t enjoy it. I still struggle to run the required distance. With cycling I struggle to go at a certain speed, or over a specific distance but I don&#8217;t find it as hard. Walking comes naturally to me. I don&#8217;t struggle. Walking and cycling feel natural. I haven&#8217;t reached that, with cycling. The day that I can daydream whilst running is the day that I will have achieved my goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Today I went for a run earlier than usual and had to deal with mischievous shoelaces.
