I’ve been so busy that I haven’t posted any run reports! 🤦🏻♀️ But I’ve been running, and watching others run, and planning future running!
After my 10k on Sunday I went to this sparkly site-specific one-woman performance all about women who run, the canal locks where so many run, and the history of courageous women murdered when travelling alone on the canals! Sounds grim, but it was really good and at the canal locks where, yes, many runners passed by during the performance, but all planned!
And of course I’m also mightily proud that I didn’t collapse in a heap for the rest of the day after my 10k, but that we went out to a performance where we had to walk and stand for 2 hours!
Tuesday, I did a mini run, 2.4K, just to recover, finishing also my 2nd season of Zombies, Run. I’m not using that app so much anymore, and my subscription also runs out on Christmas. It was good, but I don’t need the Zombie support anymore, and I have enough sports bras, thank you very much! But on that mini run, I really could feel my feet aching. So 10k still affects me quite a bit!
So today, Thursday, a slow 5k? Saw there was a gap between phases of rain pouring down, at around 3pm, left work early (today was a flex day, I planned to get back to work after the run), gear, apps, out the door, 700 m onwards and the rain just started chucking down!
But I ran on, ignoring the little extending loop (even wetter grass) and just clocking up ca 4.5k. It wasn’t great, I didn’t like this run at all. Completely wet through and through. And I still felt tired and not fresh and too full, still 2 hours after lunch!
Home showered, another 2 hours work. Done. Dinner. And NOW I feel great!
But that unhappy me discovered a new Runkeeper functionality that I didn’t know existed. When you chose a sad face, which I seem to have done for the first time ever today (mhmh) you get to specify the body parts that ached or chose the weather. Huh 🤔! I really didn’t know this existed!
Anyway. I’m running. And also did the last of YWA RESET today. Tomorrow Friday, the Pilates challenge starts, and then Monday I’m on my new plan! Woohoo!
Oh, and I’m halfway on RunLEJOG! 🤣🤣🤣
