Ran 12km, first half into a very strong northerly! I felt pretty good, although it was a tiring effort – then enjoyed catching the wind back again! I think I was a good 2 minutes faster on the way back.
Some soreness in the sacroiliac joint, but that seems to be part of the deal now. I stop periodically after the first hour to stretch, and that helps a lot. Then cold/hot under the shower…. and a couple of times through the rest of the day I’ll put on an ice pack alternating with a hot water bottle. Will also have a good stretch session later this afternoon.
I didn’t run as much as I wanted to this week, but I seem to be gradually getting back to sleeping through the night, so hopefully I’ll have more energy this week!
