Matt Gets Running

Bear­ing in mind all the rain we’ve had recently, I’ve been pretty lucky with the run­ning. It was gor­geous this morn­ing, bril­liant sun­shine and not even that cold.

As well as this one of the winter trees, there’s a couple on Flickr taken from the same point on the Port­way, one look­ing out of town, and one look­ing back toward the sus­pen­sion bridge.

After last weekend’s 10K extreme, I stuck to a simple five-and-a-bit K, aver­aging a nice 7-and-a-half minutes per kilo­metre, includ­ing the slow struggle up Bridge Val­ley Road.

I went into Cof­fee #1 in Clifton Vil­lage for my now-traditional vanilla latte. But they apo­lo­gised before I’d even said “hi”, as they were out of vanilla syrup. And they gave me amar­etto for free instead, which was lovely of them.

And that was my morn­ing jog.
