Masochist me?

[primaballerina]

Don’t know why i do it - but whenever I’m finding it hard to do 1 or 2km runs i set myself up for a 5k one.... just to prove to myself that I can still do it.

Ran with the speed and then stamina podcasts to add to the challenge. And along a main road from my sons school to home. (Bit dangerous).

Bit disappointed in my speed - did a 45 min run. I don’t think I’ll ever get back to my pb of 38 mins again. Never mind the golden 30!

Feeling achy but smug this morning.

PB

hey PB

running along a main road with earphones in *bad girl*!

I'm sure you'll get back to your 38 mins with regular training!

well done for keeping it going

I'd like to point out that they are bone-conductor ear phones - which gives me complete ambient hearing as well as the dulsed tones of Laura as she counts (not quite on the beat)!

Sadly my 38 mins seems a long way back and a long way off... but I'm not one to give up! : )

oooh, yes, not so bad girl then

Be careful out there, but you did it, if you'd stayed at home you'd have had no time to aim to improve

And isn’t that smug feeling just great?

[primaballerina in reply to SueAppleRun]

yes - big grin smug!!!

Well done you. No need to worry about pace, just keep on getting out there and your 5km will speed up in time. ☺

[primaballerina in reply to Debston]

I'm hoping so... I keep trying NOT to look at my pace figures during my run. Trouble is this time I put so much 'effort' into my pace and it still didn't improve... grrrr

[Debston Graduate in reply to primaballerina]

It'll creep up when you're least expecting it, I bet! ☺
