Week 7 is done, yippee

What a run, was on the fence of going today because I’ll have to do a special wash mid week in order to take my shorts with me camping.  I’ll need to look for the rest of my tank tops, I should wear them jogging more.  I should do push ups more, it will make me look more normal wearing a tank top.  Wow it has been 9 days since I last wrote, sadly I only skipped one entry.  Sunday was suppose to be a run day but I went to the Queen show in Toronto with Adam Lambert.  It was a really good show, Brian May’s solo was a little slow at first but they could have fit in One Vision and Don’t Stop Me Now.  Our seats were way up there at the ACC, I was surprised how steep the stairs were, it seemed to be at the same height as the box seats I was in when the leafs lost to the bruins in the playoffs.  Monday I was too tired to run since I came home late, and again on Tuesday.

Wednesday I went to the Running Room, they had an event that was a 20 minute run, I don’t think they really tracked it, they don’t even check you in.  Sadly I failed and I failed hard that night.  The course ended up being about 3km, anyways I ended walking for a lot of it, my calves felt so tight, I didn’t even make 10 minutes, I ended up walking back most of the distance.  My pace was really slow too, I should have been able to do it very easily since I have been going for over 20 minutes, from what I have read online I should have felt some adrenaline and felt a little bit more get up and go.  I came crashing back to earth when I realized my pace was the same as a 60 year old ladies pace, ie the person in front of me.  I lost her somehow but I found another old lady who was running at the same pace as me, sadly.  Friday should have been a run day but feeling sad kept me from going, same as yesterday, rain was part of it too.  I’m hoping that with my mojo back I will get back to it, although I will be camping, it will be interesting trying to run there.

But yay I ran and I felt like I could keep going except for the weird buzzing I felt in my foot and calf, I ran for 4.1km which is 0.6km more than last time.  About 6 more minutes than I ran last tim as well, although my pace was slower, about 8 minutes a km.
