What an awesome day….. I started the day with a really lazy morning before I cooked Roast Beef for a lunch date with Jorge. Then I headed out of the door to play 1.5 hours of padel!
Once Jorge I had finished work.. I picked him up so that we could go for our run. I love the fact that I am now saying ‘our run’ as I know at some point Jorge will drop out of running some of the longer runs but for now it is great that he is also running with me. I will need to get outdoors though to run rather than just running on the treadmill but for now it is all good, especially with the typical British wet weather!
Today’s plan is the normal Easy 30 minutes relaxed run. Again it says if you are getting back into running there is no shame if you need to walk. The target is to run for 30 minutes at 13:08 minute/mile. I am quite pleased with myself as I end up running 13:04 minute/mile. I listened to my audible book but as soon as I started to struggle I switched to my ‘Cheer Up Charlie Runner’ playlist. Certain songs in this list give me the little push that I need to complete my run. The run is starting to get easier but it is still hard work. I think it is really because I am getting used to being comfortable with the uncomfortable. No doubt as soon as I think I am getting there… there will be an increase in time or speed!
