A bit slack – and not just with the blog!
OK, have to admit to not running on Sunday – no excuses… I kept waiting for the wind to drop, and then just decided I was more comfortable watching cricket on TV! Not good…
Back to normal on Monday, with a weights session after cricket practice. I’m now doing 3 sets of 8 reps of weights which are outside my comfort zone, with 60 seconds break between sets.
Tuesday included the usual Express Fit class – hate the step-ups on to a bench! Managed burpees slightly better than usual – doesn’t mean I like them any better! I didn’t race Tuesday night, but went out for a 5k run. The first half wasn’t much fun – I felt tight and had sore shins; at the turn around point I stretched briefly, and the return went well – came home at about 6 min/km – good effort.
And today – more wind! I decided to make up for Sunday’s miss with a 12km run – my route had four decent hills, and the last 5k or so was a huge effort into the wind. It was so strong that in parts I was down to 8 min/km! So glad to finish – and on to the protein shake!
