June

Okay I am hoping to restart my training in full again this month only managed 4 runs in the month of May, so just going to put that out of my mind and focus on the future.

Ran to work this morning from Concord (wife’s work) was a nice easy 4K although I couldn’t find my camelpak last night so just ran with a normal backpack and not a good option was just too heavy but managed to survive. Going for a ride tomorrow for the first time in who knows how long can’t even remember and then I have my long run on Sunday so hopefully I’m back on track in running and in blogging.

Breathing

Have been having a little trouble with my breathing of late so decided last night that it would be the focus of my run so I stuck Buddy in my pocket for the whole run. I have a tendency to look at the pace, time and distance every minute or so instead of just running. So I just set the goal of 7K in 56 minutes which should be very easy for me and just headed out the door. For the whole run I just focused on keeping my pace steady and my breathing nice and even I sometimes hold my breath if I’m trying to pick my pace up which is not a good idea. Felt really good in the legs last night and added to that the focus on the breathing which really helped a lot was a very enjoyable run. Pulled up at the end and I had done 7K in 50 minutes which is not a bad time for me. Going to have a crack at my 1K PB tonight so hopefully I can shave a few seconds of my old PB.
