Day 33 - 4km

Rested the last 2 days, and fully expected not to be out for a run today. Sunday is usually my day off from running and I was invited out for a birthday lunch - lots of eating, drinking, cake! - Nothing that a runner should eat :-(

However, the lunch finished earlier than I thought and I managed to get out for a run around 5pm. the weather was still in the 70's and very warm...so i was looking forward to running although I felt full and bloated.

Completed the 4km ( well it is about 100 metres or so more than that) in 23 mins 22 seconds. ( That is a mistake, it was actually 22 minutes, 22 seconds, a whole minute faster than I realised. It took me a day to realise that it was quicker!)
That is one second less than the last time.

That was very encouraging, as the whole way round was a struggle, and I had to stop for up to 10 seconds for a truck that blocked the road.
Again lots of negative thoughts about not being able to run 4km...but I ran it!

feeling good now, although the run was not particularly enjoyable.
