Day 38 - another 5km

I should be busy the next 3 days so it looks like they will be rest days.

Apparently rest days are important, but I would far rather being out for at least a short run. (That would be 2 miles for me!)

So, knowing I would be off for 3 days, I went out for a run tonight.
Was very pleased that the satellite took only about 3 minutes to find reception and so I was off.

Ran a slightly quicker pace of 9.23 minutes/mile....but I switched off the watch at 3.1miles, just short of 5km, at 29 minutes and 15 seconds. I probably would have broken 30 minutes, but I was just glad to get out and run the 5km, and to get round again so easily.

Had a little leg pain, a twinge in the right knee and just to the right of my left knee cap, but this is the longest I have run in 2 consecutive days, and I am looking at running 5kms with at least one day rest between, so I am not too troubled by the pain.

Had a good meal as a reward, and a glass of wine.
Visitors for the next 2 days....so more eating and less running. :-(


Still no scales for the weigh-in.
