Whooo, huge accomplishment for me this week. I started running 10k on Monday and I managed to follow-up with 2 more 10km runs. I'm pumped because I didnt stop on any of them and each run was faster than the previous. I don't know what's come over me but I have discoverd I'm a much better runner with a challenge. I wasn't sure if I could do it but I did and I think its what I need to keep doing. Of course its brutal on my body. Kudos to the people who run marathons and such...its painful thinking about it.Lets sum it up...shoulder pain, which my lovely masseuse Monique managed to fix, blisters (6 in total), my left foot needs to be cracked and my left hip takes two days to stretch out. I have no idea what's going on there. I feel pain at some point around 3km but I push on and then it either goes away or I dont notice it again until I stop.
I normally run around Beaver and Thetis lake. It's beautiful, shaded (thank goodness) and its a 10km run. Pete paced me Wed night and I did much, much better. I find I usually have to fight 4-5 km but then I'm fine the rest of the way. Today was much harder, maybe because it's Saturday? It was a struggle from 6km on. But I did it. So lets hope I can continue to do so, starting again on Mon...
