We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,

Well am once again guilty of being a bad blogger but hopefully I can pick things up again. Have no idea what I have missed but there isn’t really that much to catch up on since I have been a bad runner of late as well hopefully things will improve once the weather gets a little warmer.

Had my long run on Sunday had 2 hours on the program but ended up only doing 1 hour as I ran out of time. Went to the bay and ended up doing 8K in 60 minutes was a great morning with only a little bit of rain but was actually warmer at 5am than it was at 8:30 the same day. I was the first car at the bay so was a little excited when I realised I must of the been the first person out of bed for the run but that quickly went away.

Running over the same old ground.

Well I covered my 600th Kilometre last night in 6:34 and it felt great to be out there in the dark running along the streets near my house. Was really surprised with how well I was running coming of a 14K long run on Sunday (my longest in about 3 months). Ended up doing 7K in 49:53 which is really close to my PB Felt really strong in the legs last night which is strange for me normally feel all over the shop. I have hills on Thursday and hopefully I’ll be able to get out in the morning and have a good run but will probably end up going in the afternoon as it’s just a little to cold at the moment to run in the mornings.

What have we found? The same old fears.

Well I had a great run on Sunday managed 1:45 minutes on Sunday afternoon and at just over 14K was very happy with myself have been slowing trying to increase my Sunday long run and this Sunday coming is my first attempt a running straight for 2 hours so hopefully everything will go well. It turned out well in the end on Sunday because I had skipped my 7K run the day before as I just couldn’t face the rain and I had decided to do both my 7K and the 5K that was planned for the Sunday together but ended up going for longer anyway. Really enjoyed being out there with the Sunday out had been a little while since I had seen it so enjoyed it while I could. Hopefully the rest of the week goes well and so to for the weekend. Only 3 weeks left to the next 5K challenge and am really looking forward to go faster than ever before. Also ended up doing a 3K recovery run on Monday morning just around my parents house but was a little funny even though I lived there for 24 years I got a little lost around the streets as it’s been a while since I have walked those streets but managed to get home without to much trouble.

Wish you were here.

Well June is becoming my favourite month of the year, have already covered more ground in 5 days than I did in the whole month of May but I think I just need to let that go and put it behind me okay moving on.

Tuesday: failed to get up in time for a run so had to head out last night for a nice and easy 5K. Was very enjoyable being out there after dark gives me a great feeling that I can’t explain only problem is everyone seems to be cooking at that time so am always starving by the time I get home.

Wednesday: Managed to drag myself out of bed this morning with just a little help from a friend. Was a fantastic run this morning was some cold and dark when I left but it was a surreal experience because for the first 30 minutes or so I didn’t see another person at all. I normally see someone either going to work or maybe some times another runner but for some reason the world was empty. Also I miscounted the splits from buddy so I ended up running up and down my street for ages trying to get him to click over to 7K but after the second lap I looked down and I had already covered 7.5K. I realised later that I had countered the 4K twice so I was only 1K behind not to bad.

Back in the Action

Well June has gotten of to a better start as I have run the last 3 days so after tomorrows run I actually would off already covered more ground than I did in the whole month of May. So things are hopefully looking up also I ran 2K in 11:39 on Saturday which is the first time I have ever gone under 12 minutes for 2K so very happy with that. For Sundays run I decided to run through the bush near my parents house which was a really nice run and a bit of a challenge as it’s got some rough bush down there so I ended up doing 10min/K for a bit there as I had to walk some of the downhills as it was just to dangerous to run it.
