Im back off holiday, back to the digital age and my normal life. After I had thrown everything in the car this morning (also known as packing!!) we returned the short distance home and I began the arduous task of unpacking, putting everything away and four lots of washing.
Running: 7.2 miles - 10k tempo + 2x 1/2 mile warm up and down 6:30/mi
After all that I was ready for a run. I put my gear on and set off. I was feeling good as I picked up a nice tempo pace along Walney prom although I did have to wait at the light to cross for a minute. I carried on at a nice pace and glanced at my garmin, I was doing sub 20min 5 k pace. Oh well, I thought I will crack onto 5k at that pace. At 6k I was going strong so I decided to push it hard to 10k. On the return leg for the last mile it was a serious headwind. I struggled to maintain the pace and had to really push in the last 1/4 mile. Another 39min 10k and I know I can push it harder. Good signs for my races! Im feeling the best Ive done in a long time and Im starting to notice physical changes to my body too!
