Easy, Tiger!

October 22nd, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

Today I decided to take it easy. I’ve been push­ing myself a bit recently, going up steep hills, put­ting an extra kilo­metre on a run, going a bit faster. I figured I deserved a break.

So, rather than take a night off, I figured I’d just go back to the very end of the C25K and see how it felt. So, I ran just 30 minutes, along a flat route. In daylight.

And it was lovely. A really nice, easy run, exactly what I wanted. And, I think unlike most of the pre­vi­ous runs I’ve done, I’m now actu­ally fit enough to fol­low that advice: that you should be able to hold a nor­mal con­ver­sa­tion while you’re running.

Not that I did, mind, as I was run­ning alone, and the passing cyc­lists might have thought I was a bit odd. But it was good to real­ise I had the option :)

Any­way. At the week­end I’ll do some­thing more chal­len­ging, maybe boun­cing up to the Downs again. There’s more incent­ive when I know there’s a cof­fee shop open at the end of the run!

    Really glad you’re still enjoy­ing it! I’m prob­ably going back to Zurich end of week after next and hope the weather is still good enough to test out my as yet unchal­lenged run­ning shoes. If not, I sup­pose I can get a gym membership…

    Any­way, remem­ber you have an invite! Lots of nice scenery! ^_^
