Yes sounds silly doesn't it but when you get that stiff leg feeling you know you've worked hard! You know that yesterday's run was a hard session and must have been good for you!
Normally I would rest the day after a long run but just now I'm having to take advantage of every run I can. So this is what happened yesterday.
I rush home from work to collect my son from school, got home earlier than expected so changed into my running gear and ran "the long way" to school .... the long way is a whole 0.9m and took 10mins and 8 seconds. I was really pleased with this given the stiff legs muscles! Having run there we walked back, walking at the pace of a 7yr old child is slow, and we took the proper way home so this wasn't included in my training!
Later that night Oliver (my son) went to boys brigade so as with last week I doned my head torch and off I went! This week I wore Oliver's beany hat and the difference that made was amazing! I didn't realise how much light the baseball hat had shielded last week!
Despite the legs refusing to work I did 4.5m in 58min and enjoyed the run, in fact I may try to get out at night more as I felt much more relaxed this week!
This extra effort in running combined with paying attention to what I am eating has also meant a 5lb drop in weight since Monday 8th November - another reason to smile!
:-D
