4 miler on the grass - 29:09
Easy 1k up & 2k down - went for a half hr run so however many laps that is (roughly anywhere between 2:10 - 2:20 per lap)
Felt good throughout - mentally tough though as I havn't the mileage behind me the last 6 weeks or so but good to get it done - I had the energy at the 25-26 min mark which is always nice. I didn't push it, I took it easy.
Felt like crap about 8 mins in but I dug in & reminded myself why I do this - as ever with running how you feel comes & goes in waves, if you battle through it you tend to feel better moments afterwards.
Happy with the workout.
Have my sleep schedule under control now where I am sleeping about 22:00 & up anywhere between 04:00 & 08:00 (always up at 04:00 but then decide if I sleep in or not).
Good.
Please note: there were 2 other runs I did on 15th & 18th of Jan - I didn't record them as they were Pathetic - just did 3k each day - just to get out of the house & out for a run but as I was in no mood for running I didn't go any further than the 1 loop of the town - I believe this is OK as I know later I will get my groove back as I have it now. We need to fogive ourselves & be kind & let ourselves off the hook sometimes. That way, you can guarantee longevity in the sport when it is a sport you genuinely enjoy doing - it's truly for everyone.
They were actually goo performances in their own right - I was 07:47 on the 18th Jan however as on both occasions hadn't gone for my walk on either day I was totally shagged after the 1 loop so I said to myself, what's the point in suffering so I called it a day in each case. Good choice.
