A slow and wet Park Loop

This was my first run since Friday for one reason or another.

Due to my work load, I did not get away from my desk until really late and also had not eaten. Not always a good idea running on empty.

Also, I was awoken a few times in the night by our Jessica Mae who's skin was obviously causing her some discomfort. So, either my wife or I got up to re-applied the lotion creams. Jessica Mae then went back to sleep. Lack of sleep is also not good preparation for a run. But then again Jessica Mae is more important.

Probably for these reason, I did not run that strongly today in the wet but still humid weather. There were many tree branches etc. that had suddenly become overgrown and I had to duck, run through or around them. John, you'd struggle around the Park Loop in places at the moment.

So, a slow time of 20:48 (7:31 mile pace) today is all I could manage. But as I always say, sometimes it's simply about putting one foot in front of the other.
