Distance: 5.84 km
Time: 42:26
So yeah, I’ve probably been using an incorrect notation for time up until now. I’m fixing it now.
I wasn’t feeling 100% this morning so I didn’t run 10k as planned. Okay, that’s not entirely accurate. I didn’t run the full distance because I forgot to wear my gloves, and my hands were cold. It sounds really pathetic when I say it like that, but I’m going to dismiss it as a really slow recovery run and try to do 10k next week when I’m not feeling so blah. I’m hoping to run home at least two days next week, probably Monday and Thursday. I was talking to someone the other day who told me that running home from work might stop me being so stressed, because when I catch the bus I tend to hold on to the stress of the day. Then I can’t sleep, wake up cranky, build on more stress when I have to go back to work.
When I run, I forget about most things that bother me. I might get a little rage-y when I’m pumped (sometimes insanely so, but that’s a topic for another time), but that’s more likely to happen at Zumba then on a jog. I just can’t get in the zone as easily on a short run.
Edit:
I got my result back for the Canberra Times 10k. My official chip time was 56:01. Only three seconds off my Garmin time. Pretty good.
Great going on the results for Canberra, I am really impressed!
ReplyDeleteI also forget about everything when I run. It's a meditative state that I seek, every time. Means that I am definitely more relaxed when I return. I haven't run all week and feel totally wired up in my body. And nah, no gloves is alright :D at least you got out there, that's the important thing.
