Billy had a school trip to the theatre yesterday, so I had to meet him afterwards from the school at 11pm. They didn't arrive back until quarter to 12. So I didn't get to bed until about 1am. Consequently, I've been knackered for most of the day. However, I've decided not to let life get in the way of my running. I got home from work and had half an hour snooze. Then cooked an early tea, plain old fishcakes and mash. For a warm up today, I downloaded PhysioFun, a new program for the Wii meant to improve your balance - good for sports people, it said. It basically involves standing on 1 leg while moving your arms around, and is recommended for those rehabilitating from ankle/knee/hip injuries. By 7.30 I was ready for my run.
This was meant to be a quick one, so I set out to make sure it was. It was drizzling a little, which helped keep me cool as I ploughed on. No time for thoughts except maintaining the rhythm of my breathing.I pushed myself on, even though my lungs were straining and my legs were aching. I was determined to do as I had planned and match Saturday's 9 mins 18 secs. So how did I do..
Garmin reported time for 1.00miles was 9mins 15.98secs. Average speed was 6.5mph, maxing at 7.3mph. I'd done exactly what I said I would do.
Next run: Sunday 2miles run/walk, target time 21 mins.
