January round up

I’m back running, desperate to get some serious exercise during the christmas dancing drought. So far it’s going well, except today I did run [...]

Why am I still running at lunch time?!
Ran today instead of swimming because I have lots of dancing planned for tomorrow night so I want the less-impactness of swimming for tomorrow.
Didn’t run very quickly today because I was [...]

HOT! No more running at lunch time! Got the allergies atm, so I was puffing like a steam train. And the snot – the snot! But despite the heat, the run left me feeling GREAT.
Without the warm up and [...]
This is the week I record all my incidental exercise.

Kicked. My. Arse. But I didn’t stop, except once when I had to do up my shoe lace. But even then I kept going.
What is with this fatigue [...]

Finally managed a slightly longer distance! I think my fitness is up after the weekend, I had a couple of rest days, and I wasn’t stewing over the pain of the run, so I felt better.
….and it looks like [...]

Running after 10am – bad idea. It’s going to be HOT running in summer. I need some sort of plan.
Ok, so it took me 3 minutes to run 200m. I’m not sure that’s true. But, at least I’m _consistently_ slow.

Must. Run. Earlier. Sun is very bright.
Forgotten where I’d gotten to in the c25k so just did a week 7 run again.
I’m not getting any faster. But it is getting easier.

Slow runner is
slow.
Had a proper rest day yesterday to ease the knees. Still slow today. But that’s ok because I am _strong_.

Kicked my arse, but I didn’t stop to walk. Swapping in 2 swims instead of a Wednesday run is a good thing for my knee and hamstrings. Getting hot, though. I’m going to have to run earlier in the morning soon.

I had started doing the 3rd run, but realised half way through that my calves were not going to make it. So I changed to the slightly less intense run 1. I think the extra dancing I’ve been doing is trashing my [...]
