That brought my months total to just over 46k so far. My aim is 81.5k (50 miles)for the month so not too far behind. I was hoping this would have been another 10k like Sunday’s run but today just wasn’t happening. I’ve never been so relieved to see my watch click over to 5k.
Lack of sleep gave me really heavy tired legs. Shame really as it was my ideal running conditions this morning - cool and slightly damp. But even though I picked a nice flat easy route it was a struggle most of the way.
I’d had a banana before I left and half a cup of coffee but I had little to no energy. I ran around the outside of the town and then back through the little cut through and then across the Industrial Estate, back along the riverbank under the New Bridge towards the Old Bridge and then back through the other side of town towards home. When my watch clicked over to 5k I heaved a sigh of relief and slowed to a walk. My breathing was fine but my legs!!!!!!
And the strange thing is that, after I’d come home and eaten, I collected my son and drove to the next town and went for a 5k walk to the local Salt Marshes and my legs were fine. So annoying!!! Maybe I need to eat before I run?? I never have before apart from a banana But maybe I ought to ??
And we did see a pair of swans, the male swimming up and down on watch and the female was just a head sticking up from the rushes so probably on a nest so that was cool.
