#2

The original plan was to run my 5K city run but it was very windy today so I decided to run the same run as Tuesday.

I noticed that I had a slower pace from the beginning, my body felt not as fresh as Tuesday, probabaly due to haven’t exercised in a while and just started.

The goal is of course to be able to run the whole run without walking but since the situation is what it is, if I have to walk it is fine. But the goal is to run as long as I can first and today I hoped that I would run over 2.8K.

So I was thinking that maybe if I would try to keep this slower pace I would be able to run longer.

after about 1K I got upwind, didn’t know how that would affect me but with the slow pace I just got a bit more breathless.

When I got closer to 2.8K I hoped for 3.5K, I even ran up the uphill part of the dirt road just after 2.8K, then I got very breathless but got back on track, passed 3.5K, continued with the slow pace, when I got closer to 3.8K I got this breathlessness that gets me to start walking but I decided I would try to get to 4K, had an issue also with my right front thigh and knee so at 4K I stopped and walked for a short distance.  MAJOR IMPROVEMENT!

Ran through the whole cemetery and then I walked on the uphill part of the bike path after the cemetery and then ran the last part to home.

So I am going to slow down the pace and see if I can make it all the way next week.
