#redemption

After blowing up on Tuesday night and the terror associated I realised that pushing through the pain barrier today and punch out some serious kays was absolutely mandatory. By serious kays, I mean 8.5kms, in 42 minutes. So not very many slow kays, really. This run was not pleasant from the start, and was downright horrible for most of it, but it got done. I wished it was slightly longer given this pain, but at least that’s done. I also decided to get a selfie after this run and here it is… having to sit down for a little break after finishing. SO PRO.

The saving grace was that it was lovely to be running in the morning, albeit not as lovely as being on the bike, but you get the drift. I also realised that going anti-clockwise feels a lot harder than going clockwise at Centennial, so that reiterated my view that you should always go with the clock.

I’ve also updated the plan. I was going to try and ramp up the kays each week, but the goal will be at least two 10km runs then a shorter, faster, cooler one at least once a week. More kays, then a longer one a little while out. Will see how we go, will all be painful.

It’s also important to push for funds soon. Think a push next week would be the ticket.
