After getting slightly back on my feet last weekend I found an opportunity today to run a little longer.
While it was “only” 11 this time, it felt really good as I was able to take an our of me time rather than just 30 min. My girls where hanging out with friends from school and sports so that created a little window. I am very much motivated to get some more milage in as my oldest was already asking this early morning if we could run/skate more often and for longer distances. This is really motivating as I don’t want to fatigue next to my 11 year old. Plus it gives a great opportunity to casually talk about difficult things while moving.
Today’s run, little bit of rain but mostly pure fun. Tried to maintain a pace around 5:00/km and that felt doable
I will be trying to build my weekly milage back up to 50 - 80 km in the weeks where there is no chemo (and allow for less in the rough weeks) but that will allow me to keep a decent base.
Should time a few weeks to be back in the rhythm but also a few weeks is all it should take.
Mindset back positive! 🙏
