To the river!!! the sky is blue, Willow can’t find his black joggers…. oh dear, I might have given them away whoops, I thought they were the ones I don’t like, so he wore shorts.
We walk across the bridge while Istart my music, set up NRC and quick kiss and we are off.
Uh oh!!! just below my left knee hurts, like an ache but in the bone, and the right knee just below my knee cap on the right side feels like someone’s stabbing me with a needle! I walk, try again, few steps in and it starts again, walk, run, not so bad, walk, run, not bad at all, walk, run faster, walk….you get the picture, the sprints are fun, I can run faster for a bit longer. Because the short runs were faster my breathing is all over the place, I laugh and carry on!
Slow down a bit and run on, both knees are fine now, 2.5k and turn. Don’t know what happened to coach B. He never said a word, just noted each kilometre but the music was good, Eurythmics today.
Oh the turn…. straight into the sun and briefly blind as a bat, note to self, must wear a cap. Walk run back, really enjoying myself and realise my pace is faster. Can I get to 5k in under 45 minutes? maybe…. um nope but it wasn’t far off and what an enjoyable run, cross the bridge, back to the car to find Willow sitting in the sun, he said he was a bit achey so a lot of his half hour was walking but it’s a beautiful day and good to be out.
Garmin gives an average pace of 9mins 1second per kilometre, not bad for a 5k
Run happy everyone or rest well.
I’m doing an Army challenge training day on Saturday and wondering if I’ve bitten off more than I can chew! the blurb did say average fitness, my daughter reckons assault course type thing, Willow reckons I’ve lost my marbles 😀😀😀
