I did a 6k canicross run on Saturday that I didn’t post about. I think I just ran out of time on the day (and Sunday was spent icing my son’s 30th birthday cake and then going to his party*). The run was very pleasant, though one of us fell over and cut her chin open, and while I was trundling along at the back with her for a bit, I managed to turn my ankle - but it was fine after a brief walk, and luckily we were near to the end.
I set my alarm for my usual early run time (5:15am) every day this week, but just couldn’t manage to get myself up, and out, and run.
Today is my OH’s day off, so after a lie-in and a late breakfast I finally headed out for my scheduled fast interval run. It absolutely tipped it down on us as I drove to the river with Merlin, so I put on my light waterproof jacket and cap when I got out of the car. So - of course - even the drizzle stopped soon after, and I ended up being far too hot. You’d think I would have learned by now.
I’m hoping it’s because I’m actually getting faster, and not just because I’d had a break, but I put in the amount of effort that I needed a few weeks ago to do the required pace, and apparently managed to go too fast. Oops! Good job they were very short intervals 👍
