Running from Zombies

Monday: Headed back outside for a 9km run along the canal path. First few kms were at a fair rate – a little over 5 mins per km, managed to unintentionally slow down around the 7th km and ended up with a time of 57 minutes. Still pretty happy with it, and it felt pretty good. Shame I’m going to be working all day Tuesday, it’s supposed to be sunny.

Wednesday: Tired and irritable, I needed to blow off some steam so I headed out for a 5k. The sun disappeared some time after 7am so it was overcast and windy by the time I was running. Stomped out to the half way mark in exactly 15 minutes, slowed it down a bit for the return journey, and then picked it up again in the last 400m for a finish of 31 minutes.

Thursday: No running but I did 3 hours if ice skating…I think that counts as a workout!

Friday: 3km on the treadmill playing around with different speeds as a warm up for a weight session. I actually cut the weights session short – wasn’t feeling it.

Total Run: 17km

My monthly Nike+ challenge with Matt started again on Monday. I get the impression he doesn’t think he’ll keep up – but then he’s not trying to train for an event so I don’t blame him. Seems to be making a good job of it so far though, last I checked he was already up to 13.5km. You can keep track of our progress here. Ally posted his weekly update last night and reported only 16km this past week. I think that’s 1-0 to me :-)

In other news, I’ve managed to maintain the same weight since last Monday. Though to be fair I haven’t really started eating properly. My bad.

Pssst! I’m going to be giving away free running from zombies goody bags at some point in the next few weeks. There are a limited number so make sure you check in every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning to be sure you don’t miss out!
