...tired... so tired...

The title says it all, my poor legs decided that they'd had enough... I managed to cover almost 3K before I had to turn around, my legs were tired and I became incredible hungry?? I felt like I hadn't eaten in weeks! I had skipped lunch so I guess my body had decided to teach me a lesson... I turned around and tried a few sprints but it hurt, really hurt.... walking through the town I passed by several fast-food outlets, thanks god I didn't have any money!!

Friday Night... 75mins

I managed to shake off my two hitchikers early on tonight, no improvemnt on time, 'till next time...

Sunday Night... 75mins

As I have to shave off a huge 35 minutes I decided to start running sooner rather than walking the first Kilometre, BIG MISTAKE!! I quickly felt like two kids were hanging onto my legs, and they were getting heavier and heavier... after about 1K I had to stop running, and after walking for another .5K I had to stop, feeling rather pathetic I sat on a garden wall while my legs came back to life. After a couple of minutes I had shaken off my two hitchhikers and started briskly walking again, this is what I should have done in the first place.Feeling pretty good after another Kilometre or so I started running and it felt pretty good, tiring but good. The more I ran the harder it got but at one stage I hit the pain barrier and got through it!! So that was me for the next Kilometre or so when I had to walk, it wasn't long before reached the 5K mark and time to turn around for the return journey. 40 minutes had passed which meant the a similar effort would get me in at 80 mins.

The return journey was much easier, running most of the way and making up 5 minutes on route. The final lap time was 75 minutes, outstanding (by my standards) but a whopping 25 minutes over my target time.Next outing is on Tuesday night! Here's looking at another timely shave!!

Tuesday Night... 85mins

Just back from my run, well walk with some runny bits. At any rate I'm doing 10K in 85 minutes, I know that's a whopping 35 minutes over my target but it's my best yet!

I'm back on track...

Yes, I have finally dragged myself off the couch, Wednesday night marked the first day of my comeback! I'm easing myself back into the swing of things. Some might say an athlete of my standard needn't worry about pushing it too early, they are lying of course! An athlete of my standard needs to be pushed before it's too late...
