~ June 2, 2010 Run ~
- Distance: 10k
- Where: Wellington, Jarvis, College/Carlton, Montrose, Dundas, Spadina, Wellington
- Weather: RAIN. Like, crazy, crazy rain.
- Food: Grilled Chicken pita from Pita Pit at lunch.
- Conclusion: Rough Run. My knee KILLED at about 7k so I had to walk. I was late to the group because I had physio first, so I ran it alone and it was POURING, like 100% rain, 100% all the time. I was drenched to the bone. Really rough run. I foam-rolled my leg right after, then showered, then rolled it again, and again and am icing it as I type this. I had tears in my eyes 7k - 10k, not from the pain, but just from the fact it was hurting. Sigh… tomorrow is supposed to be 6k. *If* I run it, it’s going to be SLOW.
~ June 1, 2010 Run ~
- Distance: 6k
- Where: Young, Queen’s Quay, Bathurst, Wellington
- Weather: HOT. About 30 degrees.
- Food: Grilled Chicken pita from Pita Pit at lunch. Not enough water before/during.
- Conclusion: The run was hard. Really hard. It was tempo speed. It was my first run with my running group. I didn’t foam-roll my knee before, but did after. It doesn’t seem to hurt that much right now (yay!). I was actually terrified on the run tonight as it was so hot, and I found the run itself really hard, like I-thought-I-was-going-to-die hard. My legs/breathing only really kicked in at about 5.5k. Tomorrow is 10k - I’m slightly freaking out. Fine, I’m freaking out a lot.
- People kept asking me tonight what my goal was to finish the marathon in… Umm what? I don’t know, I just want to cross the finish line of the damn thing… However the schedule I’m following is to finish it in 4:30h. I have no clue if that’s realistic… we shall see.
