Today, i ran 5km which i completed in 36 minutes and 32 seconds. Yep 12 minutes slower than my previous clock ins.
Well the fact that i am even running today should amaze anyone, especially those following me on twitter. I am in fact nursing a groin injury. The constant training has taken its toll on me, but before anyone trolls and says things like "you should know better" etc, i would like to point out that, i do know whats going on with my training and, i was expecting this injury. It just wouldn't come, thankfully it is minor and after checking with my doctor, he says it's only a strain and that i can continue training moderately.
It was slow today, but, i was running with a 12kg vest and at least 12 minutes of that 36 + minutes, i was 'walking briskly' at a speed of 3.7mph, holding 2 X 14 kg kettle bells.
My trapezius muscles are killing me now. It's absolutely caning. Anyway, ill be going to the gym today before work, and am going to do split training today. I figured, if i can't run that hard, i can still bike + be on the eliptical trainer. I hate them both, FML.
Anyway keep checking this site, updates will take place once a week or at most twice a week now. ALSO, i have news that my shoes and shades are arriving, all my "livestrong" and nike gear have already arrived, and they've been super nice and encouraging too. Will post the email soon.
And PS. if you haven't already added/followed me on twitter please do so at @runningforawish , i rant, rave and update much more often there!!
Keep wishing!
