Notes
My First 5 miler on the Track. I was desperate for this run today no matter the harsh wet weather. We were all caught by heavy showers during the track rounds. The worse came down after the run. It was unbelievable but within 15 min the whole track was flooded.
As for my run it almost felt I did a marathon for last 800 mt. I felt good and light to start with which is a surprise considering it is usually the other way round. I walked just the first 400 mt and run all the way no stop for the remainder. My run must have averaged a 10 min mile. But of course my 2nd mile was way down at high 9's. No that it did matter but this is when effort felt easy and legs/feet felt good.
I was doing the rounds alongside the Steartry Athletics Club / young female runners so it was very motivating indeed. I felt I did the works today. I am delighted to put my first 5 miler despite the fact that I was aiming for a 4 miler. Body felt good so I added one more mile on the way.
It feels good running again. It has come the right time too well before the days get too short in light. So, I will be good for another month or so.
