I am writing this again in retropsect! I am working the weekend and knew that there was no way I would do any exercise today after going to a friends house last night for curry & beer! At least I have some reality in my thoughts. Rewind 29 hours.......
I had my running gear ready for Saturday morning and I did it!! I was up and out running yesterday morning at 7.30am! Wayhey! It was bloomin cold and I did think more than once "are you mad??" It's mid October, very early morning, before work and I'm running. I'm just so pleased with myself that I actually crawled out of bed and did it! Pat on the back for me.
It was a struggle having not run for 2 weeks. However I tried to step it up a bit and am now running for 3 mins a time and walk for a min or so. I say or so because after my 4th set I really was struggling and had to walk for just a wee bit longer. I ran along the thanet way rather than jumping in my car to the seafront. For those of you that don't know it, it is a straight busy road from my house which goes all the way to Herne Bay. Rather boring compared to the sea views but also quite handy for a quick run. It was quite windy as well so had "windy ears" again which isn't pleasant. I must get a headband or similar. The cold is here to stay now I think.
Today I am feeling the beginnings of muscle ache in my thighs. Strange as this is the first time I have ached post run? I stretched afterwards like usual. I imagine it will be worse tomorrow as it usually is 2 days later. As Paul will tell me it is called DOMS "Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness". xx
