5k Regular Run – pouring rain – 25m 53s

Had not slept much over the weekend (I had a horrible case of RLS for some reason), so I was feeling tired and unmotivated and had to force myself out of the door into a cold grey day and had to force myself to start running!

I was pretty ok once I started, albeit breathing hard, and the legs were turning over a lot quicker than in the last 5k I did on Sat, so without really trying I ran under 26 mins on what was planned as just a nice easy paced run. It started pouring down second half of run and I couldn’t keep rain out of my eyes! I think I need a few more 5k’s under the belt before I really get going again, felt a bit knackered at the end of this, but then again could be down to the lack of sleep and had no appetite at all yesterday and didn’t eat much over the weekend. Cold going round so maybe I am symptomlessly fighting it off.
