Yesterday the leg were most displeased with me. They spent all day complaining about the hills from Sunday and the hard work which they had to do. Every time I stood up they screamed and I was not a happy pixie! My mind wandered back to long runs of 10+ miles for marafun training and it seemed hard to recall and impossible to consider!
Today I got up and yes they legs were sore but I could move! So the kit was packed and put in the car for a munchtime run.
Goal today was 3m in 40mins! Pathetically slow but I knew the legs would complain so I wanted to set a goal I felt I could achieve!!
Lunchtime came and off I went. I think I managed 3 maybe 4 mins before I felt the tired burning leg sensation that follows a hard session (how does Benz do all those marafuns and long runs!?!). Me being me I carried on very slowly and 40:13 later I ground to a halt. Mission accomplanised!
Time: 40:13
Distance: 3.238m
Av. Pace :12.26
Splits: 12.32,12.44,12.19,2.38
Result - happy pixie and sore legs!!
Should be OK tomorrow though! Hope so speedwork on the tready tomorrow night! Pilates DVD Thursday night, sneaky longer run Friday lunch. Finally Sunday's long run will be taking me to another part of the villiage that I haven't run before (cycled there on a couple of the loops that made up my 53m cycle before FLM so I know where the hills are but never run there!) so that will be interesting! Must check the map 1st so I don't get lost!!

Remember i dont-hence i can keep going
and that made your Sunday race pace even more impressive
keep going!
I will be using the tready after work and if it doesn't happen then it will be a hilly walk and then a short bike ride too for me! or maybe just a "normal" plod! We'll see!
Beanz - Thank you for that comment! Yes I notice I do need a warm up now, perhaps that was why I felt like stopping on Sunday!! But stubborn pixie pride would not let me stop!
Short runs are annoying like that, 1m warm up 2m run and oh time to stop!
Excellent
:-D
