Any run is a good run. Or at least, that is what I tell myself while I get back into the swing of things. Thursday I did a 4km run, and today I did a 3km.
What I have realised is that since September last year, I have not done more than two runs a month. No wonder I am finding it so tough! I am pretty much starting from square one... maybe square two or three, because at least I know now what I am capable of. In some ways, though, that's a bit of a draw back. When I started running, every extra km made me feel like a mega-champion. Now, knowing I am capable of smashing a 10km, it sucks to only just manage 4km. My fitness is a crazy low. It makes me feel like this.
On the upside, I am getting back into it with some positives! In Feb. I hope to do the same triathlon I have done the past few years (just the run. Let's not go crazy). I have done a few practices, most of which have taken me more than 18mins.
Today was a different story!
I know it isn't my fastest, but I've got to take the good days when I can, haha! And it was a negative split. AND as soon as I got home under shelter, it started to bucket down, so I could stretch and cool down with the rain overhead. It was really nice :)
My goal is to run it in under 16 .30, so hopefully things keep getting better.
