Bus run

So, today had a crazy run. I am doing an internship and was going to take the buses home. I came to the bus stop, and one bus arrived at the right stop. It had the right number, and all so I stepped on. It was going the wrong way, I discovered pretty quickly. So, I stepped off at the first stop.

Now, I could decide to walk across the road to the right stop. Wait 30 min for the next bus home. I had missed the one I had wanted to take. Another option popped up in my head. 

"Hey, it is almost 30 minutes till the next bus, and I got a 30-minute run planned today".

Hmm. I just started to run. Since getting my new watch, Garmin's Vìvoactive 4, I always have my running watch on. I also had on a regular school backpack, in fake leather, but not made for running. On my feet were an old pair of running shoes. I had a big knitted scarf on, "nice" trousers, and a regular jacket. And I just started to run. I tried to tighten the backpack while running since I wanted it to bounce less. 

A funny thing was that my watch kept bugging me that I was running too fast most of the time. I tried to keep it slow, and surprisingly enough, it went really well. I followed the bus route and checked my watch and the bus schedule to make sure I did not miss the next bus. In the end, I ran up and down a small road three times to even out the 30 minutes. I did not dare to run to the next stop, just in case.

The photo is taken from the bus I did catch.

The run surprised me ins several ways. 

1. It went a lot better than I initially thought.

2. That I did it at all.

3. How in the world did I get the idea?

Today's run: 4,3 km in 30 min.

Gear: normal work clothes after a day at an internship at a primary care office, including a regular backpack.
