W6D1 - Deerly distracted

The run went okay yesterday, weather was so-so, but it was really quiet in the park. The first two intervals were great, I had lots of energy and ran at a higher pace again.

Around halfway through the last interval a deer suddenly jumped on the path and ran a little ahead of me and then to the right into the woods again. I stopped and looked, we don't see a lot of deer 'in the wild' anymore nowadays. The deer stopped and looked at me and what I was doing. It was a really nice moment.

I couldn't get back into it after that so I just walked the rest of the trail. Only did about half the last interval. It wasn't just the deer, I was overall very distracted over the course of the day, I couldn't focus on anything. Energy-wise I could have kept going, I was tired, I just didn't -feel- like it anymore.

Better run tomorrow!
