Day 7 of 30 - A Week Down

One week gone, seven runs ran.  This week has been tougher than I thought it would be.  I'm a more tired than I thought I would be and my legs are sorer than I though they would be.  My Achilles that caused me grief while training for the marathon last year is acting up and I'm going to have to take it easy and watch this to make sure it doesn't become a problem.

I'm enjoying the running though and am happy that I've succeeded in run seven days consecutively.  Just another 23 more days to go...

Day 6 of 30 - The Difference Half A Day Makes

Another beautiful sunny day... long may it last.  I got out for a run today after work, a good day and a half since my last run and that half a day makes a big difference.  Yesterday with approx half a day between runs I was sore, sluggish and slow.  Today with a bigger gap between runs I felt fresh, free and almost fast.

I enjoyed today's run but think I'll have to slow them down over the next few days, not that they are fast to begin with, to save the legs a bit.

Day 5 of 30 - Early Start

Today was going to be a busy day.  The only time that I could get a run in was early in the morning.  I'm not a morning person so it was with difficulty that I dragged myself out of the bed, on a fresh morning, to run.

The run itself was nice, a bit slow, but with two runs close together I didn't mind the slow pace, my legs needed it.  It was lovely running along the river with the sun just up and the fog rising up off the water... A great start to the day.

Day 4 of 30 - Worse But Better

Today was a first for me.  The first time I've run four days in a row.  My legs were definitely feeling it today.  My first two kilometres were in line with what I had run the past three days but the last three kilometres were a good deal slower.  At least my heart rate was in a better zone than the last three days so I can see good parts with the bad parts.

I realise that I'm probably going to be going slower for the next few runs until my legs adjust, if they do.  This running every day is a little harder than I first expected.  Tomorrow is block booked with things to do so the run will have to be done early or I risk not getting it done.  Despite feeling more tired than I have in a while I'm enjoying running again.
