hard work run. it was cold - around 7degC - windy and my legs were still heavy from the start. wore compression underwear and it made me sweat from halfway. don't know why i'm still struggling this badly with runs of this distance and less, but i guess it's still the aftermath of the marathon. will have to work on the recovery a little better and not push the training so hard just yet. will have to book in with the physio too - i think the ITBs are in need of a little work.
took the kids out to the Maritime Museum this morning and met up with my running partner and his kids by chance at the coffee shop. we went round all the interactive kids stuff upstairs there together, and they invited us over for dinner later in the afternoon. was a nice way to end a bank-holiday weekend that had been til then quite solitary for us. i think it had been the same for them too. ate too much - even ice-cream and whisky!
haven't thought about what to fill the rest of the week with yet, so need to think that over tonight.. football on Wednesday, so runs Tue/Thu/Fri at work.
booked in for the Windsor half in Sep, but still no other halfs or 10ks in between. would like to sort at least two more out - to keep the training going with goals. or maybe i can set those goals personally now i'm at this better level. it's a thought.
