Well I did not realise that yesterday's run was ONE MINUTE faster than my previous 4km, and that included a full stop of around 10 seconds in traffic!
I felt so bad, bloated, and slow that I really thought it had been a slow run and the same as last time.
Tonight I was out earlier bu an hour and it was still quite warm. I only had 40 minutes to get the run in and as usual, when you are rushed, you cannot get the satellite to link up with your watch. I waited, but could wait no longer and headed off. Fortunately after half a mile the satellite kicked in...and I got a reading for the last 2 miles.
I was running 8.46 pace for the last 2 miles.
I actually run approx. 4.2km so the first section would be just over half a mile and I must have run that in some similar time.
I finished the run in 22minutes 15 seconds which was a new record.
Must admit that I felt very easy for the first mile and a half....the next three quarters of a mile was tough and the end I seemed to get some extra energy.
I was really pleased at running, and squeezing in the time as tomorrow is forecast for rain and Wednesday I am teaching so it looks like the next couple of days will be days off.
I am pleased that the weekend 2 day break seems to have given me more strength and that the heart rate was slightly down (average 162 bpm), however still above what I would like it to be.
Very encouraged, and after a shower I found myself saying ..."that was fun!"
I guess I must be enjoying running!
