The photographs are here!

As I had a bright and early breakfast networking meeting this morning at 7.00 a.m. and then had to catch a train to London soon afterwards, I bit the bullet and headed out for my mile at 5.30 this morning.

It was a very slow run this morning as I took my camera with me and stopped to take various snapshots along the way to show the sites I see on my most often used route.

I have posted the shots up on Facebook on Run a mile each day 4th June photos.

I want to finish today's post with a quote from The Path of Least Resistance, one of the best books I've read so far this year, and I've read quite a few really good ones.

The quote is, "By your presence on this planet, you make possible creations that would otherwise not be possible."

I just found the subscribe widget and have added it to my blog for those of you who wouldn't want to miss one of my postings.?

Ran a really enjoyable 5K with Nicky this morning, before breakfast again. We managed to run in the only cloudy bit of the day, after the early morning glorious bright start and before it got even hotter when the sun intensified.

Did you know it is National Running Day in America today?

One of my thoughts I had today was to encourage those of you who are following the Run a mile each day Facebook page to post photos of sights you come across on your daily runs.

I guess I should probably start the ball rolling.

New Facebook page

After struggling a little working out how to do it, I eventually managed to get a new Facebook page up - "Run a mile each day".

Completed day 75 of a mile each day this morning.

When the weather's like this sometimes it seems a shame to go so early and miss the warmth of the sun, but it does work so well to get the day off to a great start. Running later would somehow be trickier in helping the rest of the day flow.

Another couple of quotes from "Born To Run" - "Nearly all runners do their slow runs too fast and their fast runs too slow... So they're just training their bodies to burn sugar, which is the last thing a distance runner wants."

The second quote is "The way to activate your fat-burning furnace is by staying below your aerobic threshold - your hard-breathing point..."

So that seems to confirm that my running with Nicky, below my aerobic threshold, is actually good for me. Not that I would consider myself a distance runner at this point in time!
