I got back on top of things this week, with a 10 mile run on Monday. This was after 2 weeks of shorter 'long runs', so I was really pleased to get those miles done. It was no better than that though, as the speed was NOT good! I could only average 9.17 min miles, when I was managing around 9 min miles for the same distance before I caught a cold.
Anyway, I ran three more times in the week, all before breakfast, and totalled 20.7 miles for the week, so back to the twenties - yay!
Riding
On Tuesday afternoon I went for a little bike ride. My legs were tired after Monday's run, and it was windy, but it was a new route, and I enjoyed it. The rain just about held off until I got home, which made a nice change.

Relaxing
Less of that this week, as I've been feeling much fitter, but I have managed to watch a lot of the tennis. I follow Wimbledon on tv every year, and this year has been a belter. I'm typing this during a rain delay in the final - a men's final which includes a British player for the first time in 74 years. I love Andy Murray, and I really hope he does well, but Federer is a pretty formidable opponent. It's great to have a British player in the final at least. Come on Andy!

We watched a lot of Wimbledon here at our house too and now my boys are out playing tennis :). Glad you're feeling lots better...don't fret, the pace will come back in a week after the body adapts again. You're doing fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThat is some great milage. Has summer come, other than those recent rains?
ReplyDeleteI love Wimbledon too but the only problem is that it doesn't start until 10:30 at night and goes through till dawn. The only time I've gotten to see lots of it was when I was at University and when I was up most of the night sequinning.
ReplyDeleteWell done on such a good fitness week. And don't worry too much about the speed. It'll come back.
I have to say I have never stayed up sequinning! Good job getting those miles in. The speed sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteAh...Wimbledon...LOVE watchiing it ;) nice mileage this week...I think the speed will come back when your body is ready, but I think you seem pretty speedy to me!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow and nice comments...ah...zuchinni pie I would call it...got it!!! YUM!
