A beautiful day here. Dry and sunny. My first run of the week. Magic 10 week 2 - longest run first. Get it over with. Decided I was going to slow down - I keep seeing this piece of advice and am currently reading Why Running Matters. The author seems to offer the same advice to himself. I started out on my walk with a podcast but decided that this wouldn't cut the mustard so I put Reggae music on my Spotify as Wenderwoo did a couple of weeks ago and set off. The reggae didn't do it for me unfortunately so I asked my Google friend to open my OldiesbutGoodies playlist. She must've misheard. She opened someone else's 🙄 It was fine but not as inspiring/uplifting as mine so I felt like I just couldn't get into a regular pace. My Runkeeper was updating me on my pace which was getting faster and as I turned at the halfway stage I just thought 'I'm just going to go for it'. I was tired - no doubt. I actually thought how much I disliked running but as my doctor told me 'RUNNING IS GOOD FOR YOU' oh! I believe it! Not one of my finest runs but Runkeeper was proud of me 😅 When I got home my ankle was sore (ligament problem from 18 months ago) I put ice on it (Wenderwoo again!) and it did feel better afterwards. This is my longest run ever so I'm pleased about that. Who'd have thought it? 6k! Not sure now whether to do the 15 minute run next to possibly get a feel good factor or opt for the 30 🤔 I'm also going to have a yoghurt and half a banana before I run next time - I feel as though I could do with a bit more energy. Perhaps that'll do the trick.
Wishing you all a happy running week 🏃♀️
