on race come down. We talked about and trained towards the 10k for a few months and what with the family all down I didnt get five minutes on Sunday. All I have done this week is eat and I mean eat! Oh the other thing is sleep, recently our nights have been unusally broken with the little people so I have been quite shattered.
I seemed to have got a random knee injury on Sunday, the reason I say random is it didnt start to hurt until late Sunday night and by Monday morning I was limping, it was right in my right knee joint like a really dull ache, it was worse after I had kept it still for a while. We were meant to go to our usual Hove Park training on Monday night but I was in too much pain with my knee and also I had read that if you are new to running and taking part in races you should not train for at least a couple of days afterwards, I didnt need telling twice! Thankfully when I woke up Tuesday the pain was gone.
Tonight was my first night of running since the race and it was hard to go out. We ran to the King Alfred and back. The Nike+ was playing up as it recorded it incorrectly saying we had only done 1.34miles when it is more just over two miles. I could feel a little tweak in my knee so didnt want to push it plus do you know I just wasnt in the mood to run tonight. One thing I do know is I need to also do another form of training other than running, I need to build the strength up on my upper body so I think I will also start swimming at least once a week.
We have an 8k run on Sunday morning. 9.15am start which I prefer rather than mid morning and it is on the Undercliff Walk between Brighton and Rottingdean so a nice flat route, although it wont be nice if the weather is bad. I have a feeling our time wont be as good as Sunday's 10k, no I am not being negative but I am just not as prepared for this. The good thing is it will give us another opportunity to learn to pace ourselves and slowly build our running distance - plus we get another medal.
Note to self: need to purchase large trophy cabinet!!
