Feel in "need" of a run today (which is always a good sign), last nights yoga session really perked me up, she focussed on hips and as I'm tight as a drumskin there I really felt the benefit and am surprisingly not achy sore this morning and pelvis feels correct (hard to describe but it feels good). I packed all my running kit ready to get out at lunchtime and have thoughts to myself of doing some intervals to make it count, its a gorgeous day here, blue sky and sunshine. Gets into work and I've got to attend a meeting at 1pm and I can't get away from my desk to run until 12:15 at the earliest, Nooooo!

So, I'm now sat here deciding what to do - my choices are 1) do nothing, no way! 2) Get changed and run after work around my lunchtime route then go home, boring or 3) Get changed after work, drive to the trail I keep meaning to run on then go for an easy run on the shady forest trails only but not head up the long hills much - yay a plan!

I want to do a hilly trail run/walk (walking is allowed right, Yellow?) with my new trail shoes over the weekend so best not kill my legs today.

I was invited on a long hill walk with some friends tomorrow that I was excited about until I realised carrying a rucksack would mean the straps constantly pressing on my sore rib/chest area all day, so have decided not to do it. I can get away with carrying my Camelbak MTBing as the riding position stops the straps pressing too much but standing around too long with it on still hurts.
