Day 21 – Pacing

The project: A month-long stint of pounding the fields and lanes of Sussex in my hapless and ill-advised attempt to complete a quintessentially English 5k race between two local pubs. Yes, a pint of beer awaits every finisher!

Dear Reader,

Work is crazy at the moment!

With an early start this morning for an all-day shoot and with commitments encroaching on my time I made a conscious decision to not exercise.

To not go out for a run.

To not participate in a YouTube exercise video.

To not jump onto the rowing machine.

I could have just not done any of things. But no, I made a conscious decision not to. Instead, I paced myself for the work day ahead.

I wasn’t idle today, though – far from it. The nature of my work involves a great deal of standing around, but I was heartened to notice that I’d managed to walk 3.5km over the course of the day. Again, this had been conscious – instead of just ambling from place to place at our shoot location I made the effort to engage with and enjoy moving my body.

Onwards and upwards!

I’ll see you tomorrow. Thanks so much for reading.

Love,

Rebecca
