Work has been major horrid today and I've had enough of feeling like an unworthy blob in the corner.
I also went shopping and came back to the office with both arms full and fell down some steps by catching my heal on the top step. Ouch!
I also ended up rushing home as I was late leaving the office to collect Gnome!
Also still got this damn cold!
And now I have to top up the food/water levels in Gnome, do some washing up and then hit the tready! Legs are still tired from yesterday so I am not expecting it to be pretty or nice but I will try and then report back later!
Later that day ...
Hmmm well that was pants and it seems to be getting a habit crashing out on speedwork. I know I am suffering from the back end of a cold and my legs were tired but that was carp.
I've been thinking. Speedwork started at 8.5Kmph and soon increased to 9kmph (both slow!) but I've always walked my recovery breaks. Today I had a short jog but still. So my plan is to look at reducing the speed but jog the recoveries and then once I've cracked that and can do that without problem increase the speed again. I'm getting down keep on failing and although I have had reasons most times I feel I'm failing myself and also Spans who has worked hard with my plans.
I also used my old shoes today as the new ones have half the canal on them! Interestingly the calves were tight again so that's conclusive it's the shoes they have lived their life and can now join that pile of redundant running shoes and await their turn as everyday trainers/ gardening shoes!
Still I've made some museli for breakfast and have some muffins to make and gardening to do and a long run this weekend so here's to a new day!
