Attempts

In my attempt to be consistent with my training schedule, I ran 10k this morning. I had my annual flu shot yesterday and according to the doctor, it should be ok to run today.  So here is the result of my run:

Unlike yesterday,  it is warm today (or is it just me ?) because when I reached the 3Km mark, I thought that I went for a swim instead of a run due to the amount of sweat flowing from my apparel.

 

 

PCP Run

2 Sundays ago, I joined the PCP 10k run because of the discount we got from a corporate sponsor.   I was feeling a bit under the weather before the race started so what I thought would be an effort-less run turned out to be the opposite.

Hmm .. what happened to my splits ?

 

 

After  reaching the finish line, I went to my car and wondered how it is that I feel energized for no apparent reason – could it be the 10 minute walk to the parking area ? the free Gatorade at the finish line ?

Whatever the reason is, I decided not to waste my weekend and run an additional 10k towards the PICC area where another race has just concluded.

If I knew that I would be running after the race I would’ve  kept my pace slower so as not to drain what little energy I had stored.
