Hi all!
I have been a bit naughty this week and didn't manage to go out for a run. On Tuesday I got stuck in a lot of traffic and when I got home my Mummy asked me to drop her off at the mechanics to collect her car, by the time I got home I was tired and had been in the car for 2 hours to skipped my run.
On Thursday I got home eager to do my first interval run and my Garmin was broken :-(. I probaby should have went out and run 5km anyway but I was annoyed and spent the next 2 hours trying to fix it. I fixed it eventually and realised that I probably rely on the watch a bit too much!
On a better note on Wednesday I saw a fitness instructor and got a strength programme which I will be following.
So today's Parkrun was my first run in a week. I set the Garmin so I would race last weeks PB of 22:28. I was neck and neck with last weeks PB until I got halfway. I suddenly got light headed and struggled to keep my pace up. In the first half I overtook 5 people and they all passed me by the end! I still finished in 23:09 which is my 3rd fastest 5km time so I can't complain.
We had a gentleman in a wheelchair join us this week and I was in awe! I kept up with him for about 200m at the start and then he sped off and I only saw him again at the end, he finished 2nd!
Finally I am in Gothenburg for work next week, so I don't think I'll be able to run from Monday to Thursday, I wasn't able to book a hotel with a gym this time and I don't fancy running in the icy conditions!
