In my mind it felt like a lot more time has passed. \u00a0Actually come to think of it I haven’t been thinking of my failure, just how much time has passed since my successful 5k run and how I have not been able to duplicate that feat. It has been 7 days. \u00a0Even today I feared that I would not be able to, my calf that has been the problem has continued to be a problem, it feels tight, unrelenting in letting me know that it exists through being uncomfortable and feeling like if I had to move suddenly it would make sure it gets torn in two probably leaving me in the middle of the road as a speeding car approaches. \u00a0I got it rubbed a bit and it seemed to have helped. \u00a0It seemed to have been more from having warm hands applied to it, so maybe a heat bag or a hot water bottle would help. \u00a0Afterwards I ran out and felt a lot better, my calves both ached a bit and it felt like if I pushed them too far or ran too quickly they would tighten up again leaving me with a long, lonely walk home. \u00a0As luck would have it I was able to duplicate my feat from 7 days ago and I ran 5k! \u00a0It feels good to know that I was able to do it again and it wasn’t just a one time fluke. \u00a0The last few days I have been a little worried and preoccupied with thoughts that I will be spending my next couple of weeks working on getting me back to a level where I can run 5k instead of focusing on taking me further, well more accurately faster. \u00a0I still want to get my 5k down to 35 minutes, perhaps even 30 minutes although I don’t have a time frame of when I want to accomplish that goal though, I don’t know what is realistic yet. \u00a0I did run about 15seconds\/km faster than before, so it is a start. \u00a0I did my 5k in 39 minutes vs 40.<\/p>\n
Work is going good, starting to get into a groove as it were there but there is so much to learn and unfortunately a lot of it has to be learned through time. \u00a0I’ll get there though. \u00a0I purchased a Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition player’s handbook and I am looking forward to playing it a bit, should be fun. \u00a0Oh well I want to shower now and read a bit more from Game of Thrones before going to sleep.<\/p>\n
