Went for my Wednesday run last night in the strange apocalyptic quiet..... ok it was cold enough to cryogenically freeze me in mid-run pose but it was only 6.00 ish! It should have been the tail end of rush hour but there was barely a car on the road and I don't think I passed another human being on foot or even on a bike. It was, once again, like a bizarre horror movie scene you know, right before someone springs out with a meat cleaver to hack my limbs off...........
Anyway, it was my last run of week 3 so I have to start week 4 over the next couple of days. Not looking forward to that much, gotta be honest. Still, I was like this over week 3 and it wasn't so bad so we'll see!
I have recently involuntarily adopted a new tactic - I feel myself starting to die and of course, I think OMG I'm gonna have to stop in a minute but then, this other voice in my head (scary I know) starts shouting 'stop thinking about dying, you're fine! No! Stop thinking that!' and the argument continues until the woman on the training app yells 'WALK' down my ear! It obviously works as I don't stop because I'm so busy listening to the 2 voices in my head having their very own argument! This also detracts from the eerie sensation of being totally alone on the badly lit streets with no pavements just waiting for that lunatic I mentioned earlier.........
