As you know I broke myself last week so I missed my short 2 miler on Friday, On saturday I felt great, it was supposed to be a rest day but as I had missed the day before I headed out to do the same 3 miler I did earlier in the week.
I set off and felt really strong, I pushed on for the first mile that is pretty much all off road track through trees, It felt great and for the first time I felt like I could really press on and concentrate on achieving a decent time rather than just getting back to the house alive!
I was constantly focusing on my pace, if I felt my self slowing I was pushing on to keep the pace up, when I got to Skipton Road I felt like I was practically sprinting, It felt amazing! From there a flew down Bilton Lane and back to mine, hauled the brakes on and went to press stop on my phone to record all the information about my run, route pace time etc and the screen was blank, the f**ker had crashed! I was so pissed off! ...punching fences pissed off!
So you will have to just take my word for it, I ran 3.2 miles in 14min...
Saturday night Lizzie and I headed round to a friends house for dinner/piss up. We had chilli and wedges etc, I managed to stick to just a ladle of chilli so it wound up being quite a healthy tea! Had a cracking night, one of the lads brought round the most incredible 3l bottle of whiskey, but I managed to be a good boy and stayed off the booze, we stayed round there until about 2am and I didn't have a drop of booze and had a whale of a time, this was quite a mile stone for me.
Sunday however was a disaster, after my fabulous run the previous day I decided to up the anti and go fro 5mile run despite my program telling me I was due a 'long' 3 miler. I set of and straight away felt a nasty twinge in my left foot/ I thought it was just going to be one of those things that i could just run off, so I cracked on for the first mile. When I got to town it was still hurting and over the next mile and a half I slowed to a limp and was in agony! Im not ashamed to say I called my mum and asked her to pick me up from town! I was pissed, really pissed I thought I'd done myself some proper damage.
As I said last week I am so scared of injury, I want this so bad now, I want to stick my fingers up in the faces of all the people that laughed at me and said I wouldn't be able to do this! F**K YOU! I am going to do this!
I woke up this morning and my foot felt fine, today is a rest day and I am going to do exactly that! Also this morning I had an appointment at the gym for a sports massage, got up bright and early to get to the gym for 8:30 but then spent 20 min sat in the bloody traffic! Massage wet really well, I feel great now, Ill let you know how i feel tomorrow, I was warned that I might suffer some bruising!!
