And the running keeps going on

Today was my off day from work, but I ran in the evening anyway. Went out at 6:05 p.m. and did 6 laps there, stopped to do some pull up bars. Felt really good today and the pace is dropping, felt faster at an easier effort today. The splits were 6:06,6:03,5:56,5:41,5:53,5:49. Finished the run in 43:26, so maybe around 7.3k. Have a great night! Happy to have run the 4 days of this week!

And the running continues

Today I ran again after work at 6:50 p.m. I headed out to the conservatory with Danilo, We ran around 2-3 laps together but then He gapped and vanished. I did 5 laps there in 6:17,6:07,5:44,5:47,5:46, finished the 7.5k in 45:06. Felt good, but a bit tired at the beginning due to yesterday´s run since I had a lot of time without doing more than 8.5k. The weather was decent and I am happy to have started to run consistently.  Have a great night!

Meeting new people

I ran today after work and was a bit upset that I started later than planned, started at 7:10 p.m. luckily it was still clear at that hour. Did 7 laps today there, was not planned by any means, I planned to do 5 laps there and ended up doing 7 laps, the reason is that I got some company there, rarity for me, I ran with a girl that I had seen before but never had talked or run with. Ran with her( her name is Iris) for about 1 lap without saying a word, then I decided to take the lead and We started talking, good conversation and good company, We did around 4-5 laps together. We were running laps sub 6 mins. I finished the 9.5k in 56:48. Dont remember the last time that I ran for that long. Good run and I feel good!

Zapping the zero for good

No running on the weekend.

Today I decided that I needed to train hard again with focus, I have been through bad stuff over the last months, but its time to put my head up and keep moving forward.  I did 39 mins finishing in the conservatory after work, laps were 6:17,6:10,5:58,5:54,5:52, did pull ups there, I am feeling the strength coming in my arms from that exercise, did 3 in a row,I want to gradually up it to 10 in a row, I ll be very strong.  Felt good running and need to do it more consistently if I want to run in the upcoming races.

Have a great night!

Back on the running thing

No running since Sunday, no motivation after work nor in the morning. I was motivated and decided to start training for December race, need to get back to my life and to my running passion. After work, did 4 laps in the conservatory and completed the 5.5k in 32 mins, during those laps I joined two guys, one of them had passed me  and gapped me in previous laps, then He sped up again and We left in the dust the other guy, the spanish guy gapped me but not by much, I just went with him, was a hard effort for me right now, that lap was in 5:07, which is too fast these days for me, need to get back to shape, I think I won since He stopped to a walk and I passed him. Did pull ups there and I feel the strength increasing a lot, could do 3 pull ups in a row, I could not do even one. Have a great Friday!

Hot run with father

I had ages without running with my father, so today was the opportunity, We headed out to the conservatory at 8:40 a.m. and I wore my sunglasses, the heat and sun is definetely high. We only did 3 laps there for a total of 5.5k total in 34:36, I am running very slow, but at least I am doing something which is the most important thing. My father finished a bit farther back.  The legs never responded so I just cut the run short!Weather was HOT!! have a great Sunday!

Back again

Did not run at all Thursday or Friday, was busy after work, need to get back to the predawn running next week since I am starting a finances course.

I am off from work today and was out at 8:00 a.m. to the conservatory with my sunglasses, did 7.5k total(5 laps there) in 46:30, very slow but at least I am doing something, felt good. Need to do strength training later today, I say " need" because I dont particulary enjoy doing push ups, I like doing pull ups better because I can chat there with a couple of guys. All in all a good run and a good day to be out there!! Thanks my lord for the opportunity!!
