Today I was rather disappointed with my run - I only did 3.75 miles in 55 mins and walked a hell of a lot of the way - which was rather disheartening considering I should have been doing 5 miles. Then something in my brain went ping and I thought about it again. 3.75 miles is pretty much 6km ... now less than a year ago my ultimate aim for my running was to be able to complete 5km at all during a week, never mind as one of my training runs.
I was suffering horribly still from accumulated (and compound) blisters picked up in the gym yesterday and feeling rather nackered from a rather active day. And yet I still dragged my arse out of my door, covered in lycra, and spent an hour trying to run - so the fact that I managed any running at all is a little bit of a triumph over mother nature. OK, I wasn't going to break any records (even my own), but I got out of the door on a cold day and I went for my run. I can log it in Febulous (and not let down the Good Run Wall team's Jantastic score).
So even if today did mean there was a lot of walking, and even if I am slightly down on my planned milage for my week (although I may be revising this anyway to an hour's run rather than specific miles) - I can be proud that I put those trainers on and went. And here's hoping my 8 mile LSR on Friday will be more successful and involve less foot pain!
So all in all, still a tad disappointed with distance etc for today - but still in some ways proud I went despite the blisters :-)
