Sometimes you just have a bad run :(
Went out today with the intention of timing myself for a 3km race in my local park next week. You don’t pre-register, you just turn up with your two shiny pounds and run around a few times. I figured I’d time myself to see if it was worth entering. The slowest time on the last 2 races has been around 21mins. In theory I can make that, 7min/km isn’t new to me. Maybe a stretch, but not new.
I made 1km and threw in the towel.
I’m gutted, but I think I started out a tad fast. I’m going to get out and have another go tomorrow. The park still stinks from all the flooding too. The mud’s also thick, but I still don’t want to run on the pavement too much. I did manage a 6:45-ish kilometre though. I guess it’s not all bad.
I’ll have another go tomorrow. Hopefully I can will myself the whole way around :S
