Last Week: w/c 12th October
October 19, 2009Capris out this week…not a fan of the whole figure hugging look but it’s getting pretty cold out.
Tuesday: I got up and the thermometer said 7 degrees. No matter how committed to running I might be, there was no way I could run in that. By 10.30 it had reached 11 degrees and so I decided to give it a go. Asthma didn’t like it and so I couldn’t go as fast as I would have liked. 6km in 37:31.
Wednesday: A really good basketball practice in the evening. We concentrated on shooting, which was something I needed. Our next game was supposed to be on Sunday but it’s been pushed back.
Friday: Somewhat spurred on by what I posted in the morning (more in the sense of “well I’ve posted it now, I have to run”) I went out for a 6km, which turned into a 7.6km in 46:30. I decided to spend the evening at archery to get some practice in before Saturday’s round.
Saturday: Archery in the morning. 7 of us shot a Portsmouth this time and, even thought I was on for a new PB, I only managed to match last week’s score of 537. Slightly disappointing but still a good score. About 6pm I decided to go for a run and did the same 7.6km route I did on Friday. Even though it felt like a better run I clocked 47:47. Happy with it considering the temperature out there.
Sunday: I was contemplating running in the morning but had an ache in my left hamstring and so asked Ally to give it a massage. I don’t know what was in there but it was the most painful sports massage I have ever had, and it still hurts today. In the afternoon we went to basketball and had a good few hours doing a few new drills and a game of 3 on 4.
Total Run: 21.2km
Congrats to my brother, Neil, who started running not too long ago and recently made 5km in about 32 minutes on a training run. We’ll have you racing in no time :-)
wow, 32mins for 5km as a starter is pretty darn good!took me ages to get that quick, well done to him.
