5 Mile Easy Run In The Evening Sun – 51m 15s
Posted on Jun 28, 2009 under 5 miles, Easy Runs, Slow Runs | No CommentAm not really sure what’s up with me at the moment – have not slept well for over a week now – even when I do drop off, something wakes me within minutes, or I wake at 5 am, a few hours after nodding off, and can’t even catch up by lying in. Last night I was up at 2.15 am eating toast and ice cream (not at the same time!)
So I am a bit concerned about my back to back race week if I still haven’t slept by Weds 🙁 Will just have to take it as it comes with the insomnia – I have periods like this and then it goes OK again.
As I was feeling very tired, decided to just do a nice slow run through the woods in the evening sunshine and take in some of the sights and sounds of the area.
Managed to keep a nice slow (over 6:00/k) pace all the way, and only got puffed coming up the Stockport Road hill, but felt good apart from groin chafing badly with new shorts, slowed right down at end and resisted temptation throughout to throw in some speed, making it a proper slow run although it was quick enough to end up with flies splattered all over my face, as I discovered when I looked in the mirror!!
