Today’s picture: the track I’m making on the local playing field.
Just recently I’ve taken to running laps and laps and laps of my local playing field when I go for a run.
Today it was 20.
Why the hell do you do that? I hear you ask.
Well, let me explain:
- The playing field is right opposite the house so it’s very convenient.
- The village has no paths or lights, so I when I’ve got headphones on, I’m always looking out for traffic. On the field I can put the headphones on and not worry about being wiped out by a passing tractor!
- Builds resilience. The lap is only about 400m, so you end up doing quite a few.
- It’s also on grass, which is good for the joints, but power sapping, so you get a good workout.
