Awful Sunday Night Long Run :(

[millwalki8]

This week I swapped the early Monday run for a longer Sunday night run. Yesterday afternoon I stained the decking, cut the unruly conifers overhanging my manor and gave the lawn a trim. Put young Millwalki to bed and set off for a Strava “10K in May”. All was fine until 2 miles in when the “Roberta Flack” started to ache, I slowed right down and pushed on, but the gremlins were using the back ache to niggle away at me. I carried on and got around the course I had set, no records broken, no PB’s and snail pace at one point!!!.

Got home and switched on the garmin app and downloaded the run, arrrghhhhh 6.18 miles if only I had popped around the block. I'm resting till Wednesday now and might look into a wrap around back support (any ideas?).

Nothing worse that back pain. You have my sympathy.

My advice is to ditch the gardening!

Though I would try another long evening run last night. What a disaster, I got about 1.5 miles in and felt like it was week 5 again!!!!

I managed 4.5 miles in the end but it was a slow awful experiance. Back was fine, legs were fine, breathing was fine, i just couldn't do it?

Is it because I dumped Laura for Running Trax 2015? Am I being punished?

Got home and looked at my running shoes and the sole is almost worn away on the outside of each heel? I think it may be the shock absorber insoles I put a while back twisting my foot a bit. I only bought them in January.

Two weeks and I'll pop and have a GA done at Advanced Performance in Cambridge.

Looks like I'll be back plodding the streets in the mornings again, seem to get on better

Got up early, got back with Laura and all was fine?

Weird, it appears I am a morning runner after all Banged out a 4.5 Miler and could have gone on a little more but time was pressing on.
