run 20k

ran a 14.6km race in 1h15min. Pleased by the result!

I made a schedule, now I just need to stick to it… Today I will run 5k

ran 2.5k today, not that much, but enough to start with :)

missed out on it this year. weddings and knees are the main things stopping me.

oh well :(

i’ll just have to do a full 40k next year!

ach. so was out running last tuesday and on the 6th mile got a cramp feeling in my right knee. horrid tightness around the sides of the kneecap.

not good. struggled to walk for the rest of the day :(

hopefully it’ll be ok in time for the 20k. have rested it for the last week, and will try a short run tomorrow.

i’ve never had an injury where i couldn’t attribute it to an obvious thing – bashing into something, something bashing into me, falling off something, something falling off onto me… so it’s quite strange.

anyway, fingers crossed :(

which is just over 11km. yay :)

it’s a lot easier when you’ve got someone to talk to – we just did 1 lap of the park and then decided to do it again. very very hilly. but great.

phew.

new shoes. new year. and finally some reasonable weather/light to run in.

going at least twice a week at work now. managed 8 minute miles over 3 and 4 miles this week. would like to get down to 7.30, but still pretty pleased. knackered though!
