How am I coming into another rest week already?! So much (training) to do… So little time.

So I’m finally well enough to resume training. The cough still lingers but it’s fading and I can manage running without wheezing or collapsing even if I’m not at my best. However as you can imagine, my training plan is now seriously behind schedule. According to my (admittedly optimistic) plan, I should have been running about 6km twice a week and 10km on my long run by week 11….

…..andddd I am extremely excited to say that whilst pace and consistency leaves a lot to be desired, I did actually manage to hit a 6.5km distance during the week and TODAY – my next milestone! I finished a 10km distance for the first time in years AND faster than I ever remember!

Besides being a fantastic motivator it has also reassured me that despite poor training over the past couple of weeks, there’s definitely still time for me to get there (which is great news for my pride!)

Here’s hoping I can repeat the feat and keep it going strong, plus try to get it down to a respectable time… But first: my third rest week!
