4k Easy Run – 21:20
Posted on Apr 08, 2009 under Easy Runs, News | No CommentMy Mum died on Monday after her long struggle with cancer, so this week has been thrown into a bit of chaos, though it was by no means unexpected. Have been feeling a bit drained, and still undecided whether to run the Salford 10k on Friday. It might do me some good, although today’s “easy” run had me feeling terrible – ran the first k in 4:58 and felt great, then just got slower and slower, more out of breath and heavy legged, so cut my 5k planned run short at 4k and took a while to recover – probably just a symptom of the hectic last few days and anticipation about funeral etc.
I will decide tomorrow whether to run the race on Friday – my natural tendency in such situations is to carry on with the things that define who I am, as there is no surer reminder than the death of someone close that time to do all the things we need and want to, does not come in an infinite supply.
Rest in Peace, Mum xxx
