Running from Zombies

Decided to take a bit of an easy week this last week, for the sake of my battered toe (in an attempt to keep my nail) and my motivation.

Tuesday: I took Monday off after the Great Capital Run. Partly because I was tired from a very long day and hadn’t yet caught up on sleep and partly because my ankle was sore from the race (I have left over scar tissue from a bad sprain 7 years ago). It was overcast and windy outside, though the thermometer insisted it was 15 degrees, so I decided to just do an easy run and not worry about pace or times. I did 6km in 37:54.

Wednesday: No running today, but I did go to basketball in the evening. Layups, shooting, some maneuvering stuff and a game. Good session but I’ve yet again managed to pull my thumb back when missing a pass. Not the same hand I hurt last season either. Hoping it heals up pretty quick.

Friday: Another easy 6k, just to tide me over. I did the same route as Tuesday and came back in 37:26.

Saturday: Archery in the morning. Spent most of the time shooting at 50m and then a few ends at 70m. While I was there I signed up for the last of the postal league competitions next Saturday morning. 70m was a bit of a struggle so might have to increase the poundage on my bow.

Sunday: Basketball today. Got there half an hour early to do a bit of shooting practice. As it turned out, there were only 5 of us there today so we did less in the way of drills and more game playing, as well as talking through some picks.

Total Run: 12km
