Capping off the week

Today I woke up a bit later than planned, was up at 7:30 a.m. after a long night in the club, drank a lot of soda and I thought that I was going to feel good in the run. As soon as I started up, I felt like shit and was pissed off because I did 6 laps in the conservatory very slow and feeling like crap( thats why I race without a watch) laps were in 6:24,6:18,6:14,6:09,6:10,6:01, then back home to finish the 8.5k in 52:30, first  half in 26:58, second half in 25:32 or so. Definetely happy to have run, but pissed off because of the way I felt according to the splits. At this point I should be running a lot faster with much less effort. I ll race on Saturday Christmas 5k, I have not done any speed work, but will run my best. I hope to do sub 24 mins which is mediocre to my oldself, but faster than my last race, I should improve a lot by next year, if I mantain this consistency of course.

5 runs again this week, but runs generally short. No more complaints!!:) Have a great evening!!

Predawn run

Today woke up really early at 5:15 a.m. and was out at 6:00 a.m. to the mirador and did 8k, the first lap was 24:19, second half in 22:08, the last 3k were in 16:16. Felt better in the second half and very loose, the first lap was like waking up from sleeping, all in all happy that I have run in the morning since in the afternoon/evening I was going to be in the swimming pool and could not run in the evening, so predawn it was. I did 8k in 46:27, closed really fast and the weather was pretty good.

I am training consistently but despite of that, people keep telling that I am fat or getting fatter, I dont have an idea right now of my actual weight, but maybe I have not decreased weight a lot.

Have a great Saturday night!!

Very crowded night run

After work today I headed out to the conservatory at 7:05 p.m. and did 4 laps outside the conservatory at an easy pace, I did not surge or accelerate today, I just wanted to take it easy. I got to the conservatory in 7:54, then did 4 laps outside in 8:03,7:52,7:45,7:38. Then did 7 mins flat to finish in 46:13. I felt really confortable and good. But the park was very crowded and I pissed off a couple of times since I had to dodge a lot of people and cars, especially in the first 3 laps. However, I am glad that I can run consistently. Weather was just fine!

Have a great day!

The running continues

Yesterday took the day off due to the finances course in the evening. Today after work I got dressed and I headed to the conservatory and did the 4 old laps that I have been doing outside of the conservatory. I felt really good today and finished pretty hard, the hardes that I have run in a while.

Got there in 7:43, then did 4 laps in 7:48,7:35,7:25,7:13, then increaded the effort a bit and in the last 300s I really increaded effort and finished the run in 43:31, from the conservatory to home did 5:44, much faster than the last 6:09 I did on Tuesday.The first half was in 23:07, the second half in 20:24 a lot faster.

I am running good and pretty much consistently but I am just doing almost all my runs pregressive and that would take me in no man´s land since I am not taxing the body as if I were doing workouts, anyway, its good to play with the watch a little bit, but its easy to get caught into that!! The weather was great and the park was very crowded, I had to dodge people and cars several times.

Have a great night everyone!! the running continues straight till Sunday!

Zapping the zero

Yesterday I took the day off, I was a bit sore in the calf from Sunday in the swimming pool.

Today I went out to the conservatory after work (7:05 p.m.) and did 4 laps outside the conservatory in 7:51,7:40,7:36,7:20, then from the conservatory I run a bit harder in 6:09, the last 300-400s were fast. I felt really good in the second half, not so good in the first half. first half was 23:22, second half was in 21:10. The weather was awesome and I finished the run in 44:32. I have been running 5 times per week consistently and feeling better and better, anyway I dont have time to prepare well for the 5k on 20th, but definetely next year I ll be in very good shape.

Have a great day!

Cutting the run short

This morning slept in a bit more and headed out to the conservatory at almost 9:00 a.m. I was planning to do 8.5k, the first 2 laps were difficult as I was very tight and the outside area of the calved were bothering so much, then it kind of loosened up and started to feel a lot better, then the right sock get down a lot so my achilles were brushing with the shoe, felt totally unconfortable, after the 3rd lap I tried to fix it, but then started bothering right away, so I decided to cut it short and get home. I would rather to cut the run short instead of hurting my achilles with a huge blister and has to stop my training for days, I think it was a good decision. Total time was 34:39, I was pissed off because I was starting to feel so much better and loose, anyway! Always happy that I can run!!

Have a great night!

Early morning run with father

I am off from work today and I headed out to the conservatory at 7:15 a.m. with my father, so 12 hours after my last run. I was tired from yesterday, but felt strong and good nonetheless. I did 6 laps inside the conservatory, normal laps since the conservatory as I have said is repaired again, but since I am running at night is not possible to run inside due to the crowd that its in there at night, now that is up the LIGHTS PARK.  the laps were 6:08,6:02,6:00,5:55,5:52,5:48.Then jogged easy for around 2 mins to wait for my father so We could got home together, I encouraged him a lot since He was tired , but with 200s to go I just sprinted all out , and did not feel that fat. I felt somewhat smooth and felt like I have hope lol! I am confident that I ll get back to the shape that I was, its a matter of time.

8.5k total in 49:59 (26;00,23:59).

Tonight I ll watch a night 5-10k race in the mirador at 8:05 p.m. In 2 weeks I ll have mine. Anyway, the plans are long term and I dont want to rush things, I want to be in great shape  next year.

Have a great Saturday!!
