drumroll please.........today I enjoyed my run.......I can't quite believe I'm writing those words, but that was my feeling as I was running today. More than that, when the 30 minute mark arrived I found myself wanting to run a little bit more - wanting to run!!! Wow.
I walked quite a distance before my run today to a wood nearby my house which has a field behind it. The field was grassy and flat but the wood had a few challenging dips to it. I ran fifteen minutes and then walked two minutes and then I ran another 15 minutes after that. So, it was a 32 minutes session today!
THe only tough part was when I started walking home again. For the first time in any session I began to feel a familiar pain behind my left knee. Including my walk before and after the run I was one my feet for about 50 minutes, so perhaps it was just too much time on the road. THat's a pity because the run on the field was such a pleasure compared to my usual hilly sidewalk running.
I don't know how far I ran, but that's ok. I feel quite wonderful that I managed what I did. I'm quite confident that I'll be able to do 5kms but also pretty sure that I'll have to have a bit of a walk in between running.
I got home and did some good stretches and I'm still stretching before my run. I don't think I'll stop that as I'm too aware of getting injured again.
Only 4 more training sessions until the race!
