Better day today. Busy at work and got lots done, sorted some tough cases and talked to some amazingly brave women. You get days like that in my job.
Picked up my car tonight after 5 weeks of it being repaired. It looks much nicer than it did after I left it before Xmas, when someone had caved the rear end in :-( grrrrr.
So I cycled to work this morning, then walked to the garage 1/2 mile away from work at 4.30. Drove home, put on running kit and ran back to work (longer way round than direct route 2.6miles) Then cycled home before dunking myself in a hot bath! Complete triathlon in under an hour! I felt good for the first mile tonight, really strong and thought I was going quickly for me but alas not really! Averaged a 10 minute mile so it wasn't too bad. I tried to concentrate on some of the running tips I've been reading about, arms go forward and back not twisting across myself and push off with my big toes, felt like I was moving further with each pace. I got stomach cramps half way round though so had to walk for about a minute... that's what scuppered my final speed I guess :-(
Tomorrow morning I take back the courtesy car, I'll have to run home from there. Fitting running into daily routine using tasks like this is good... although I'd prefer it if people didn't crash into my car admittedly! Have a good 'loop'planned for tomorrow. Hockey game on Sunday just cancelled due to utterly frozen pitch so have to rethink Sunday's running plan...
have a great weekend everyone
