Another Double!
Lunchtime - 5K in 37:59
Really delighted with this as I only did 30secs more than yesterday but 0.6m further! Felt really good, breathing as about normal, nose still snotty (but hey!) and HR lower than I would normally have for this run and only 5% higher than yesterday. 12.43,12.15,11.50 plus a bit for splits.
The sun was out, the sky was blue and the daffs were trying to come out! Great run - it's days like this that remind you why we run and why we love it!
Magic!
Evening - 1m swim in 52:30 (new PB)
Had a meeting at work, felt shitty so decided to change my gentle swim into 50-60 easy lengths up to an hour. Pool was busy with kids messing about but I kept going. Stronger than yesterday too which felt good but still not as I was pre-lurgy. 50lengths in 41mins! So I decided to go for the mile (64lengths) and ended up with a PB by 7.5mins! So again delighted!
Not sure what tomorrow will bring. Either a rest/walk day or lunchtime trot. It's parent's evening and I have the school run to do so no swimming. Friday is the swimathon (so no run) and I am fine about that now! Hope we get a medal! It will be so cool to have a swimming medal!
Oh BTW Reading is just 17 days away! Gulp!
