It has been 6 weeks since I have done any running. I don't really have any decent excuse for this but I have been keeping up my fitness by going to the gym. My friend Lisa took me to a few Zumba classes and I loved them! I have now joined the gym so that even if I am not going running I am still keeping fit.
During the past 6 weeks I have also gone back to full time work after being a stay at home mum for the past 5 years. This has taken up time as I reorganise my time in the evenings. I have also lost some of my running mojo and it hasn't been until now that I have really wanted to go running. I am hoping that today's run will help me get back into the swing of things.
Today I ran 8.83km. That's right, after 6 weeks of no running I choose a small run to start back with. I was going to the football with my friend Grant so decided to run to his place before we went out. I set myself the goal of 1.5hrs to get there. Trent said it would take closer to 2hrs due to me not running lately.
The route that I ran was not flat it was all up and down hill so that adds a degree of difficulty to it already. My slowest km was 11:52mins but I did stop at the shops to buy a bottle of water during that km. My quickest was my 3rd km and that was 7:29mins. This surprised me as I didn't expect any laps to break 8 mins.
I ended up doing the distance in 1hr 24mins, very proud of myself! Lets see if I now have my proper running mojo back. Fingers crossed I do!
Distance travelled today: 8.83km
Distance travelled so far: 508.15km
Distance left to travel: 25,249.60km
