8.25km

Did a 5K on Monday but forgot to blog it. This was after a couple of days away when rubbing wasn’t really practical, but I managed to do a ton of push-ups and sit-ups on all the days I was away from home except the day I was REALLY REALLY FUCKING HUNG OVER. Oh my God. Took me the best part of a day to get over that night, but perhaps the less said about that the better.

Tonight it was a toss-up between intervals and a long-distance run. I chose the long-distance one and ran the same “big loop” I did a short while back. It was less windy but I somehow ended up being a few minutes slower. It was late, though, I guess.

10K is probably attainable, though by about 7.5km I was pretty knackered and ready to keel over. It’s not that much further to 10K from 8.5 though, so I just need to work out where to add an extra 1.5km onto that route, which shouldn’t be too difficult. I shall work up to it!

But all in all it’s going well; despite the few days “off” I’m still feeling motivated and the impact on my body is positive too. I am impressed with how well my muscles have taken to the push-ups and sit-ups so hopefully they will continue to prove beneficial.
