Have had a bit of a mixed back this week. ‘Mr Motivation’ has materialised from somewhere and I’m eager to get out on the weekend. I got 12km in on Monday and the same again on Wednesday but incorporated some fartlek over some of it and what a difference it made (it must have done some good because I was buggered!). Both outings were at a good pace overall too. Downside is that for both these runs I’ve fallen foul of my digestive system having to use a public convenience on Monday as I was only 3km in and having to wear it (almost literally!!) on Wednesday. Good workout for some of those hard to reach muscles though.
Seriously, I’ll have to look at what I’m doing because it’s not something I’ve failed to cater for in the past.
I got a gentle trail run (about 6½km) near Wamuran yesterday before picking Rhys up from after school care and boy could I feel the after effects of Wednesday’s run. I literally just parked up near what looked like a trail head and ran into the bush. The surroundings were pleasant enough but would have been more so if the Trail Sensors weren’t so uncomfortable. Still a bit sore on the heel (wearing in will take care of that) but they are hotter than I was expecting even given the fact that they’re Gore-Tex. The jury is still out but I remember having similar feelings about my second pair of Trabuco’s and they took a few hundred km’s to come good – they’re on about 800 now so it couldn’t have been that bad, will just have to run more!
So, motivation seems to be good, boredom level is high though and it’s going to prove difficult to resist finding an event between now and January (Hares & Hounds). Maybe the 100 push-up challenge can expand to 200!
