Week N day 1

[liv]

Well, that was a memorable run. I went out, was warming up, and it started spitting, and I was thinking, well, it's only a few drops, I don't want to make exc... aaargh a deluge! Oh well, I'm soaked through now, I might as well go on as turn bac... HOLY SHIT IT'S HAILING!!!! Like an idiot I kept going anyway. When I was moving it wasn't too bad being wet, but some of the hail and very heavy rain was a bit painful falling on me.

Anyway, I managed 4.2 km in 35 minutes, including the warmup, which is my best 30 minute distance yet. I think I was pushing myself about the right amount, because I ran exactly 60m further than last time, and according to Runkeeper kept a reasonably steady pace throughout. I had a bit of a stitch by the end, so my last 6 or 8 minutes was a bit slower than most of the rest, and I couldn't really speed up for the final stretch. But I kept going, and I'm quite proud of that.

I'm especially glad because I didn't manage to run at all last week. I was busy, but also stressed enough that I couldn't really get organized enough to squeeze in a run in the odd bits of free time I might have had.

I remember a cycle ride like that. Dry to soaked-down-to-the-socks in under a minute...
