I don’t usually run on Tuesdays, but today I was off work since it’s International Labor day. I like to just get up in the morning and go running first thing, before my mind starts making all kinds of excuses. So today I followed my get ready for running routine, and it was only when I was ready to head out I noticed how bad the weather really was. The nice spring weather we’ve had has made a turn for the more wintery weather. It was only 3 degrees celsius, and pouring down with rain. So I thought I’d go a short and fast run today. After all, Tuesdays is also my tennis day, and I had a match on in the afternoon. As it turned out, I didn’t have any more rain on my round, but then again I wasn’t out for that long.
Since it was cold and I was expecting more rain, I didn’t think too much about warming up properly, but just set off. Not good. My muscles stiffened half way through my round, and it was a bit of a struggle today. Must remind myself to be more dilligent with the warm up.

not a good lookout before starting off
