Thought I would try a “10K” today. In the old days that would be the memory size of a home computer with expansion pack, now it means a hateful run ;o) As the first run of the New Year I figured I would try a real distance and see just what kind of pace I have at the moment, I even used my phone GPS as a tracker, and I managed an average of 5.8 miles an hour (max of 7.7!) for 64 minutes completing 6.35 miles – which although not brilliant I was pretty happy with.
I find that the beginning of the run is the worst, but not just the first 10 mins or so, but the first 3 miles – its very uncomfortable the worst part is again the front “ankle” bit of my foot between the leg and my foot – it just feels very very tense which goes away after around 3 miles.
I did manage to get a new pain today though – this time in my big toe. I am so proud. !?&*
Got some of the new kit on today, got some tights and apart from looking like a right berk they were actually pretty good. Although half way round my legs were too hot, luckily the second half got colder. I did have to take of my bennie cap though, as my head was melting…
