OMG I forgot my watch! Does that run even count!?

Weird….I’d planned a longish run when I went to bed, woke up not wanting to run at all, and then about noon, I’m thinking WTF! am I doing?……..It’s sunny, it’s warm, set a good example, get the F out of the house and go for a run already……

Even after getting into my car (I sometimes have to go somewhere else to run….if I stay at home too long, ‘oh look facebook!’

Even then I felt like, do I want to do this…….?….I had to drop off an extra two bags of garbage at our store’s dumsper……we only have trash pick up every 2nd week now, and for some reason we seem to have too much garbage?

So went did that, and fuck it, drove to my fave location, (it’s called Kingswood Park) I started running there at the height at the COVID shut down….the washrooms and the building was open, and there are so many options, and my fave to go route is there……it’s an easy 5K, which I can always add on to…

This is embarrassing, but, I all of a sudden have to pee a lot?…..I do have an MD appointment coming up, and not a big deal…as a guy, I know this is grosse, I can always go anywhere there’s a tree……

And surprise surprise, once I started running, it felt good…..except for one thing…..I forget my watch!

How could I possibly run without this thing!

If you haven’t reocrded it, is it even considered a run?

But, well, I had my phone, I have STRAVA….a pain in the butt having to run with the thing in my hand…..but you do what you have to do……..couldn’t put it into my jacket pocket, which was even more uncomfortable…but well, did it…

It was only just under 6K, the pace was okay…….and done

I love this spot, I call it a Hobbit House…I’m guessing some kids, maybe some mountain bikers…..but kind of cool…….it used to be bigger, it’s kind of collapsed…but seeing things like this is one of the reasons I like running……..random, and unique….and something not everyone would ntice maybe….

Actually that’s a better picture of it…..

This house just sold….could not talk my wife into moving, it’s right beside one of my favorite short trails

I have no idea how many times I’ve either run or taken my mtn bike on this route….but it feels so good….it’s not even half a kilometre….but natural, and a relief…
