August 22 - Running without a Backpack!
Normally when I run home from work I use a backpack to carry my keys, wallet, phone, walkman and assorted bits and pieces together (....or change of clothes if I'm not heading straight home!).It was time to give it a good wash last night , so I went into work planning on running home but without much thought about how I was going to do it. Anyway 5 comes along and I put everything into a plastic shopping bag, and tie that up as tightly as possible.
I followed pretty much the same route as last night, as I didn't want to stretch it out too much this week after a few weeks of complacency. It is actually a lot harder to run with something in your hands than I thought it would be. Just having to change arms consistently, and not being able to get into a nice rhythym at all.
It is something I won't do again in a hurry, so I'll just have to buy me another running backpack!
All up I did the 7.75km in 42min 22sec.
