Well it seems my mojo wasn't completely back as it has been 4 weeks since my last entry and this is my first run since then. I have still been going to the gym and now have a personal trainer but still that is no excuse to not go running! The rate I am going I will be 100 before I make the distance around Australia!
I was heading to the football with Grant again yesterday, so I decided it was time to go running again. I had to leave home at 7:30am to make sure I was at Grant's place on time for us to get to the football. As soon as I started running (in what was apparently 3 degrees) I felt like I was going to do a shit time. I wasn't aiming to beat my time from a month ago but if I matched it I would be happy.
My slowest km was again my 2nd km when I stopped at the shops for a bottle of water again. I really should just leave the house with one, would make it easier and then I wouldn't have a 11:17min km. My quickest km was my 4th km 7:18km. As i continued on my run my left foot started getting pins and needles so I walked for a while until it passed. Due to that I was pretty certain I wouldn't match my time from last time. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived at Grant's place in a time of 1hr 21mins knocking 3mins off of my time. I certainly didn't expect that. I do like it when I get to surprise and impress myself.
I really should get back running at least once a week again as I have the City to Bay coming up again and this year I am aiming to do the 12km in under 1.5hrs. Fingers crossed I manage to do it.
Distance travelled today: 8.81km
