Well I did it!
I'm not long back from my second run of the week. I'm quite proud of myself given that my brain was trying to talk me out of doing both runs but I pushed through :)
Friday's run wasn't amazing. I went out around 1pm and surprisingly for Aberdeen, it was pretty warm. That, coupled with the fact that I tried to push myself a bit further than usual resulted in a pulled muscle so I only managed to complete an extended outward leg and then walked back the rest of the route. I did try and give it a go again after walking for a while but my leg was having none of it. It's better than nothing though!
This morning's run was much more successful. I thought that after pigging out a little last night with pizza (at least I'm not craving it anymore!) and some home-made cookies from one of the flatmates, that I would be feeling a bit bleh today when I went out for my run but it definitely wasn't the case! I managed to push myself to the same distance that I tried on Friday without any injuries and after a shorter break than usual, completed the inward leg of my route with much more ease than anticipated. I'm definitely pleased with my efforts today!
It's quite tough though when you're running along minding your own business and another runner passes you. This happened a few times today and it can be disheartening but I keep reminding myself that I'm going for endurance and not speed. I've scheduled my next run in for Tuesday so hopefully I can keep up with the pace I set today :)
I'm going to try and put up a new blog at the end of every week so see you next week. Now it's time for me to go and get some uni work done!
Oh and before I forget, thanks to my donators so far!! Hugely appreciated! :D
