I, on the other hand, don't have a social life. So I focused on my training. Beats the hell out of staying at home cleaning or watching tv or Facebooking !
I went back to the Lac des Nations to burn some rubber. 4 min running, 2 min walking. 10 times. Finished my training at the middle of the route, so had to walk back to car.Total distance this evening (including walking) = 10,5km.
Why is it that the first 15-20 min are always difficult ? Maybe I don't warm up long enough ? Anyways. The first stretch was so hard ! I was thinking The batteries on my BB must be dead ! Four minutes my ass !!! This feels like 10 !!! But 4 minutes it was... and, as usual, I reached my peak 20 minutes in.
It was pretty warm outside so I became lobster-faced.
Here's me looking annoyed with my own self for taking a pic while running
This is the Lac des Nations, so flags of different coutries hanging about on poles around the lake. I took time to stop by the Dutch flag for a high five ! Next to Sveeeden ! Yaaaa ! (Arnold accent even if he's not Swedish)
Oh and last, here is the surprise I got when I took off the runners. I say surprise coz I felt no blister pain ? Weird shit - let me mention that this is a pic of my heel + achilles tendon. Sock looks really weird with the grey heel all bunched up (hubby's socks, so too big).
(start music here)
I'm too sexy for my socks.
You really have to get yourself some running socks! Good ones. I bought 3 pairs when I first started running and they are still going strong! Worth every penny.
ReplyDeleteLOL Yeah I know I really do. A colleague of mine told me the same thing when I started.
ReplyDeleteI think I might just buy some, otherwise Ad won't have any socks left by marathon day. lol.
