... yeah right!
OK so plan today was to go for a walk that was slightly longer than previously done this week and to throw in a bit of running every now and then. The idea was to maintain endurance, keep legs moving (TW was only 1 week ago after all!) and start to think of running. Plan was to leave house, walk 1/2m then potter for 5mins then walk for a while etc. Reality was leave house, start running, run for 15mins extending run past trail, walk a couple then run ... overall I would say about 60-70% was running! Whoops!
The first 15mins felt great! Then legs remember TW and head said "you can keep going, you did last weekend!" so I did. After 1hr I did have a longer walk of say 10mins before I started to trot again and then the trotting got harder and harder. Head changed from "you did it last week" to "Hmm 62m was a long way and only last week!". I would walk and say "oh this is getting hard" as I started to run again. I told myself I could walk the last 1m home yet found myself running twice during that 1m "cool down!"
As this was not a planned run I wasn't wearing my GPS just a watch - 1hr 56:34.
I got back home and bang legs said STOP! Suddenly I felt wobbly and decided I needed food (even though I didn't feel hungry just wobbly!) I grabbed some scotch pancakes, and started to eat one, but before it was gone I was feeling sick. I actually went and laid down for 30mins (thinking I should actually be closer to the loo!) and then I cot cold so needed a bath.
Post bath I measured the route .. 7.7m which is about 15mm pace so really pleased. Just need to keep this stubborn positive Pixie thing up and keep working hard and I will get where I want to be!
I'm OK now and thinking back I think that I drank too much in that last 1-1.5m as the run had started off as a wet (raining) coolish run and finished in bright hot sunshine. Now I think I will have a snacket as it's too close to tea for a proper lunch!! Early night tonight too ... back to work tomorrow but only 1 day as I am back in Brum on Tuesday for the exam to the course I did last week!!
