Why did I run it in reverse?
I woke up around 9am, which, to me, is fairly late.
But I went to bed yesterday at 2am, which, to me, is very, very late.
I also had drunk a fair bit. Which, to me, means I had drunk around three glasses of wine.
All this to say that when I woke up I didn’t fancy going for a run.
I still put my running shorts on. That is one of the brain games I play with myself. Taking tiny steps in the right direction.
I had breakfast while I was wondering what to run. I couldn’t make up my mind. I didn’t feel like running.
Lethargic was probably the best way to describe how I was feeling so I had a coffee while looking outside. It was a cold but sunny morning. It would have been a shame to miss the opportunity of going for a run.
That is when the idea crossed my mind. Probably triggered by the caffeine. Run La Belga loop in reverse and it will feel like running something completely new. If it feels completely new it is easier for me to relax, just run slow, enjoy the run and focus on not getting lost.
Boom!
Five minutes later, almost two hours after I woke up, I was out of the door enjoying the jog.
Happy to report I didn’t get lost a single time.
A very nice way of starting the year.
