currents

so difficult. trousers? shorts? long sleeves? short sleeves? obviously gloves. start with gloves, go from there. go short as not going far. easier start today. until woods. stop same place as yesterday to do same thing, at same time. thankful for the woods. can be a sort of sheltering harbour at the start of a run. does have its tough currents, and the occasional rum cove. don’t look at blackberryin’ squad in their black car halfway up dead end lane. better along coach road but puffing. training hasn’t been great, hope it’s stiffness and not loss of fitness. rubbish across fields. man tugs then hugs furious spaniel halfway up stony track. mallard duck and mallard drake side by side by heron pond. hands on knees at top of partridge lane. back in woods, easy detour around da squad. in the cause against embarrassment say hi to bill woman. realise it was her approaching as left coach road, so also shows wasn’t avoiding her. embarrassment and misunderstanding, who needs them. maybe bill does. unintentionally chase misunderstanding black and white cat out of woods. such a dodgy exit right on the lane. same run, same fast finish as yesterday. just lying on grass feels like stretching.
