This could be the last time I run the Leadenhall loop, the stalwart of my lunchtime runs. In a couple of weeks I am off to Canary Wharf. Sunday is the Marathon and I am racing tomorrow night. Next week I probably will be recovering from the Marathon.
I hadn't planned to run today and had left my running shoes at home. My locker is half empty ahead of the move and with no running shoes other than the aquas. I haven't been running in this particular pair of aqua shoes as I kept stubbing my toe. I can't risk anything like this ahead of the marathon. However the thought of the last Leadenhall Loop inspires me. I actually have barefoot work shoes which are really comfy with a thin flexible sole but a leather style upper. They aren't great but I can get away with them at work. Often I jog to the station in them and they are comfy. I decide to run in these.
I set off, a little bit aware of my footwear and people looking at me. The good thing is that this feel oh-so easy. I'm deliberately taking it slow but I am flowing. Down the River, up past the Tower of London and then back through Leadenhall Market. I'm not in the mind to open up and it probably wouldn't be a good idea.
I really enjoyed this run.
