I just finished a 10.747km running that lasted about 0hh:48mm:5ss !
With the cold grey overcast weather (cover picture with a little blue sky is from yesterday), the fact I barely slept last night, and various other things, I kept finding reasons not to run today, but when I saw several people posting about their long runs, competitive spirit kicked in and finally pushed me to suit up and run. One more proof that competition, as long as it stays friendly, is a great motivator.
I ended up running a little more than 6.5 miles at a decent average pace, even though it dropped quite a bit along the way. I started again in the woods, but I rolled my ankle several times. Luckily, nothing bad, but enough to bring me back to the safer sidewalks after maybe 1.5 mile.
Cadence was not good, back at 172spm. I hope the very little progress I thought I made on the last few runs were not just a fluke. I'll keep trying.
I again didn't see a single person, which is not surprising, as even when it's sunny, it seems it's now too cold for most people around here. Like I said, more open roads for me!
Except for dog walks of course, I will probably take a full rest day tomorrow, not even cross training with biking or anything.
Till next time, keep Exhausting!
