Monday - 10 Miles - in two bits....that'll be it for a while then..Tuesday - Sleepy Grumpy

Monday:-

Slept in this morning - needed to as I'm on Nights AGAIN this week...
The plan was for a gentle 10 miles - so a run to town to meet up for a lunchtime trog was in order..
I was warned not to run faster on the first bit to make up for running slower later on...

What..??

Me...??

As if....!!

then run to town if a nice 5.88 miles and I had reckoned on it taking 50 minutes - so set off accordingly. As always, I had to pull myself back when running on my own.. I tend to get imperceptibly quicker - something I need to work on!
It started out OK - but by the 4th mile, I was starting to 'feel' my right instep
The last bit of this part of the run was downhill, and the ache seemed to ease off - so maybe it was warming up - or so I thought

Stupid really!!

Had a 20 minute wait before the next bit, and in that time, walking around - foot became stiffer and more sore...

Second part was much gentler - nice easy pace - good company - hurty foot!!!

So it was like this

Part the first:-

Distance:- 5.88 miles
Time:- 48:16
Pace:- 8:12 min/mile
AvHR:- 167bpm

Part the second:-

Distance:- 4.2 Miles
Time:- 50:52
Pace:- 12:06 min/mile
AvHR:- 134bpm

10 miles - check
gently - check
Good Base Building - check

Foot is now officially a worry

Hmmmmmmpfh

Tuesday:-

Sleep and feeling sorry for myself
Two reasons...
Long boring night and I didn't get breaks until VERY late - so got tired and grumpy - and the little mind tends to peruse over things that upset when I'm THAT tired...
and I KNOW I'm not going to be running much, if at all this week.

Roll on Friday I say... 'cos the delectable Womble will be here......


Hmmm......


Smiling just thinking about it
