My Day!
Well the body got up feeling less average today which is awesome! However, I am still struggling with this cold and as a result have a less than attractive k.d. lang style voice happening...needless to say, this is not doing wonderful things for my training.
I decided I was going to have a bit of an easy day today as I have another race at the end of the week so...I took Cooper (the puppy) for a walk along the breakwall at around 11am and she seemed to enjoy it. There were a couple of guys out on their bikes and i was kinda keen for a ride after seeing them out in the sunshine, but tommorrow it will have to be.
Came home and had a bit of a nap after posting a question about my poor run form on the Cool Running website (coolrunning.com.au) Thanks Minersrun! I have been reading your blog for a while, am very impressed at your work!
Anywhoo...It was warm in my house, so i decided to take coops to the park for a bit of a play, threw my running shoes on and then when i got to the oval decided that i would do a 2.4k timed run. It took me 19mins. I was so disappointed. I felt so unbelievably buggered. My face was feeling like it would explode and i drank a whole bottle of water and still didnt feel any cooler. This was about 4pm. I went to my mates place to drop off cooper later on and he informed me that it was actually 36 degrees and 70% humidity....phew no wonder about the heat! that made me feel a bit better but the running thing is still playing on my mind...
I also got an email today from the people with the race on saturday for the all women thing. So my race doesnt start to 11:30am which is going to kill me. Although on the upside i will have more of a chance to sleep following the mars volta concert the night before...oh dear!
went out and had dinner with emm and ev tonight at the best mexican resturant in nsw (well thats what the sign says ) and had a number 61 as always and am feeling very full as a result....
going to attempt to get up in the morning and take gertrude (my hybrid) for a gentle ride to the beach and back and maybe around darby street. I dont think the body is ready for the King Edward park hills this week.... :)
