Ran a 5 k today. Arrived thinking that we were starting at 8:30, but 9:20 is when we ran. I was not sure that I would beat my time of 30:33. I had done a couple of training sessions and was beginning to think that less is more. I was even proud of the 2 runs that I had done on my own.
The run today was brutal. Right from the start it felt hot (29 Celsius) and it was uphill and we were running against a strong wind. I made it to 2 k and had to walk. I could not believe it as I had run the previous two 5ks all the way.
Tonight reading Running like a girl… realize that I do need to train more, and dropping the 20 pounds I gained since London will help. As Heminsley said: "Running will help your weight, but extra weight does not help running". Next race in 2 weeks, Next run Friday morning, then Sat and Sun.
