#3
The original plan was to run this run yesterday but Monday morning I woke up with a ”cold” feeling in my throat, had a tiny little sore throat and was not sure how it would go, crossed my fingers that I wouldn’t run into another cold now when I just got back from the last one.
Monday after choir rehearsal I took a sip of whisky, went to bed on time and yesterday I fel fine. Decided to not run yesterday.
This morning when I biked to work it was raining 🙂 I do not like to run in the rain when it is colder. During the morning it was grey and rained even more. I hoped it would get better in the afternoon.
In the afternoon I saw that the sun got out and I started to see some clouds in the blue sky 🙂
The socks last week was too warm so I decided to wear thinner socks.
The goal today was to be able to run the whole run without any walk so decided to have the same slow pace as Saturday.
At the start I felt that my legs were faster but I had decided to go for this slower pace, it is a challenge when your legs are faster and you have to force yourself to calm down.
Satuday it was much windier but it was a bit windy today.
After the first uphill I had to remove the windstopper and catch my breath, I was still running and decided not to check the pulse watch at the distance, I would run til I couldn’t run anymore
The big question was the last uphill which is close to home, a bit longer, a bit steeper but I decided that if I still was running that I would continue running up that part and see how far I would get.
When I was on my way to the cemetery I saw this little creature and in the bushes the male mallard was there. When I ran through the cemetary I saw two more mallard couples. I was wondering if they are sticking together as couples? And I just read that they form couples already in the Fall.
I ran up all the way on the last uphill part and then I let myself loose the last part home, just let the legs decide in what pace they wanted to run.
So more improvement today, finally I ran the whole 5K, felt really good.
