Wednesday - Loosener (run that is..!!) And Then .....

So a hard Club session (harder than I've experienced before) yesterday - and I woke and was surprised to find that there wasn't stiffness in my legs.
"Excellent," thought I, "I'll pop out for a bit of a loosener in a bit just to keep my legs turning over..."

Oh how I laughed when I started out on my little ploddette to find that not only were my legs stiff - but they hardly worked at all!!!!

OK - so it wasn't quite that bad, but I had realised that a 6 week lay off wasn't going to have no effect on my general condition..
On the other hand, it was great just to be able to get out for a run..!!
A SLOW run..
:o)

Here it is:-

	Mile	1	2	3	.92	Run
Pace	10:16	7:52	8:53	9:03	9:02
AvHR	160	172	162	171	165

I'm not convinced that Miles 1 and 2 are right - it was much more even paced that that - but I was under the trees for much of the time and Mr Garmin wasn't a happy bunny
It felt more like a fairly even 9 ish min/mile pace and I was aiming for a HR of around 165
So - the average for the run was right! That's something I suppose

Of course I didn't help myself - I went out at about midday!!!!!!
[shakes head]

and it was a bit err.. WAAAAAARM.

And I have made a startling discovery - Merseyside cold water is MUCH warmer than Welsh cold water - I SO need an Ice box and some ice for the reparation of abused legs!!!!!!!!!!!

And Then....

(c'mon - you knew I'd get to it eventually!!)
I had the most pleasant afternoon and evening.
Talking - laughing - putting the world to rights - rearranging rooms - and creating a much needed space by taking away some furniture that I really need!!! - and ending up with a lot more than I had expected!!
To relax and just *be* in the company of a close friend is such a privilege.

Ahh -" the point" (close friends - you know what I mean!!!)

:-D

The light just came on in my Little Brain!!!!
