Blah run

Today I headed out at 6:15 p.m. to the conservatory in 7:28, faster tha I should, then did 4 laps in 6:21,6:14,6:04,6:03. During the first lap I told myself that I was going to call it a day in the 20 min mark. I started to feel really tired and experienced a strong side stitch. Luckily, after the 2nd lap I talked myself into a 3rd lap, and then decided to do the 4th lap. I think that runs like these is what build you up, when you are about to quit, but you keep going and going and never give up.

I did around 5.3k in 32;27, so 30 seconds faster than yesterday. But did not feel any better to be honest. Anyway, its done! and I am happy to have gotten my run in!! I need to be ready by December, since I want to run sub 23 mins in a 5k.

Have a great Saturday!

I AM back

Finally I am back to running. I said that I was coming back on Monday, but on Monday I got somewhat sick again, my eyes hurted and the back too, so rested a couple of more days. On Thursday I wanted to run, but I had a strong headache so rested too, so today I felt great and recovered and decided that today was going to be the day of my come back.

Today at 6:10 p.m. after 8 days with no running, I headed out to the conservatory in 7:41, feeling pretty slow, then did 4 laps in 6:25,6:14,6:10,6:10. At first I thought about doing only 20 mins because I was feeling dead and very tired, but after the second lap, things started to improve and I decided to do 4 laps. Total time was 32:57.

I am glad that I am back to it, I was driving crazy staying in my house, I really love the outdoors and that is the reason why I love running vs going to the gym, but strength training is important though!.

Around 5.3k in 32:57.

Health is the most important thing

I did not run yesterday, wont run today and wont run tomorrow.

Yesterday when I woke up at 4 a.m. to drink some water I felt very heavy and sick, nothing hurted me, but body weighed more than a marine Lion, so I knew something was not right. When I officially woke up at 7 a.m. I declared myself sick and pretty much lasted the whole day laid in bed. My food yesterday was an apple and half of a bread and a glass of coke. The apettite was totally off.

When I felt that bad and my eyes were heavy and hurted, I told to myself that health is the most important thing in the world, when you are sick you cant enjoy anything, and the only thing you think is when you actually are going to get better.

Today I am much better and I could ate normally so far, I wont run today because probably the body is still recovering.

Tomorrow I will be able to run, but wont due to the past events of robberies. Oh well!! sometimes to have to go with the flow and do the best you can!!

Health is the most imporant thing!!

Solid run

Today I decided to go out earlier so I could add a lap and finish earlier than usual.

I went out at 5:50 p.m. to the conservatory in 7:27 not that confortable, then did 6 laps in 6:12,5:54,5:53,5:50,5:47,5:48. I tried to keep relaxed for the most part, but sometimes huffed and puffed, its natural I think since my last 5k race I averaged 5:02 per km, so 5:45 or so is not that easy, but I like to train at that pace because I think I did not run all out in that race. Anyways,I  did 44:35 total and before the race in May I did not do a run longer than 40 mins so that is good.

I have to admit that I feel the shin at times, not like before but still something there.

Around 7.5k in 44:35. Felt good overall and sweat like a pig.

Good run

Yesterday I got lazy and did not run, my bad.

I spotted a race on September 6th , I want to do that 5k so will ramp my training a bit while staying healthy.

Today I went to the conservatory at 6:30 p.m. in 7:33, then did 5 laps in 6:05,6:01,5:55,5:53, then increased effort for the second half of last lap to finish in 5:27, then completed 38:30. Felt really smooth and good today. After that did some pull ups or at least I tried, I cant do 2 complete pull ups just yet, but at least I am trying, which is better than not trying at all.

6.5k total in 38:30.

Have a great Humpday!

Zapping the zero

As I said earlier , I ll have to take off some Sundays while the robbery problems decrease or dissapear altogether.

Today I went out with my brother watchless, He was taking the time, but after 500m I built a gap and would run ahead on and off since He started doing strides and passed me sometimes, but in the end his strides recovery were so slow and I passed him and built a gap, He is a out of shape for sure. I did 5 laps watchless feeling like s%%%t  and huffing and puffing, I sped up at times and that killed me. As soon as I started the run I knew that it was going to be tough.

Overall felt good but a bit tired. Did around 6.5k totak and I expect to run a bit longer tomorrow.

Have a great Monday and rest of the week!

Evening good run

Yesterday I took the day off.

Today I went out to the conservatory at 6:10 p.m. or so, got there in 7:33, then did 5 laps there in 5:58,6:07,5:58,5:48,5:39. The atmosphere was great, great music and a lot of people there. I felt pretty good, but huffing and puffing sometimes. I am glad that I could get this run in since tomorrow I wont be able to run due to the robberies of past Sundays.

I decided to rest on Sundays until the situation improves. When I get off the course tomorrow I ll head to the Casa España club to get into the pool and to have a great time. I ll get back home at night when the thiefs have gone.

I felt good today and I did 6.5k in 38:30 or so. Next week I will run longer since the leg is much better and I can run with perfect form.

After the run, did some pull ups there, at least I could do 1.5 going completely down. I know that soon I ll be able to do 5+ reps.

Have a great Saturday and don´t get drunk LOL!
