Run 1 – Monday 1/6/20
Determined this week will not be like last week was, so up and out this morning despite still feeling wheezy, I found this started to clear quicker this morning than last week.
Changed my pre run breakfast today as finding the change in weather is making porridge less appealing so tried a toasted bagel thin with laughing cow light on with a banana and of course a cup of tea, can’t start any day without at least one cuppa 
.
I decided today’s run wasn’t about speed or distance it was just about getting back out moving after a week of not running and enjoying it, so I headed down to Rothervalley.
I was surprised how quiet it seemed after previous weeks, maybe more people had started return to work or maybe I was just a tad earlier than I’d been getting up. Either way it was nicer not having to battle round groups of people like on my last run.
I decided to just run round the larger lake this morning. covering 4.5 miles. The first mile was a bit draggy but I often find it takes me a mile or two to get the feel of a run. It was good to just to have a steady one.
Sunday – 7/6/20
Much better food choices this week and feeling better in that department but I’ve not been as productive in the running plan area as I would have liked. I just don’t know where the week has gone again. With the weeks of training getting less an the hopefully, big date getting nearer I really need to find that commitment I seem to have lost to ramping up my training and following my plan.
The weather is miserable, my arms ache and fingers feel three times the size they actually are, nothing is motivating me to get out the door this morning.
Maybe seeing constant posts on facebook that it’s not going to happen is not helping. I know how much I enjoy getting out but just don’t seem to be able to get out the door again this week. I know this is going to have a set back on my training plan and may need to re asses the next couple of weeks whilst I get back into things.
My aim was to get up at 7am and be out the door no later than 8.30am, since at 11.30am and I was still sat on the sofa you can guess that didn’t go to plan. The day didn’t get any more productive either, after nipping out the house for ten minutes to collect something from a friend I returned and crashed. My joints ached so much and I felt so tired that I ended up going to bed. I didn’t actually sleep but when it came to trying to get up I felt like i’d not enough energy to pull my body into sitting position never mind going for a run.
Feel like this week has been another right off training plan wise.
