No not like that!
This morning I was really really fed up annoyed and stressed at work. Everything was getting to me, people were being stupid and I was not a happy pixie!
Anyway without the need to have a snack attack I got over it and went for a run at lunchtime.
I was planning walk run again but stress dictated that I would be better off doing a slow steady trot rather than short annoyed speedy hard bursts. So that's what I did. I got up and went for a slow steady trot of unknown distance (GPS Battery died!) and a low HR (for me!) of 174.
I went down the Grand Union Canal out of town and back again. What I did notice is that steady was good, and I went further down the canal than I expected. Not sure if this was a case of me forgetting what the canal is like or if the 3 wks of cross training have seen my fitness improve! I will measure tonight and let you know!!!
Heel was fine whilst out and has been fine so far! Fingers crossed it remains that way!
Distance Update
Well it was either 2.2m (most likely) or 3.2m!
Plans for this Weekend:
Saturday will be shopping in the morning and then a long swim in the afternoon. Following this I will hopefully give blood as it is where I swim and I missed January due to the car crash!
Sunday may involve a Gnome swim. Depends he's still under the weather so not sure if he wants to swim! I may also go for a 3m walk.
Plans for Next Week:
Monday: Lunchtime 30mins trot (when I will use GPS to get today's distance!)
Monday: Evening 1hr in pool swim/jog
Tuesday: Evening 20 mins tready run
Wednesday: Lunchtime 30mins trot
Wednesday: Evening 1hr in pool swim/jog
Thursday: Lunchtime 35mins trot
Friday: REST
Saturday:Either 2hrs on bike or possibly bike with Beanz on her long run
Sunday: Marshaling at Ashby20. Cycle there and back (4m each way) plus out to course. Swim after.
The observant ones will notice a couple of double sessions! No I have never done this before so it may all fall flat on its face but I am conscious of Reading being 3wks away and do not want to drop swimming for running and lose fitness as my runs are short! Also the swimathon is 2wks away so I need to keep that up too! If this works well I may carry on with the idea but doing a swim either before work or after, as well as a Gnome swim at the weekend! It's great for using up calories after all!!
