Both good points and bad points this week, but i'm finding it hard to motivate myself to get out, hence the stoppy starty nature of the title....
I've finally looked at my old plan for Kildare and, luckily, i seem to be following it unknowingly. I did a 6k last Friday night, a 17.3k Bank Holiday Monday (yep should have been Sunday but the day got away from me).
I didnt get out Tues or Wednesday. I really should have gone out last night but i was just soooo exhausted, so M and i sat on the couch and watched some tv - heaven.
Tonight i was just as tired when i got back from the ant-farm, but i got into my running gear before tea. We all had dinner then all sat down to watch 'Sherlock' on bbc (great programme).
After kids went to bed M & myself watched more telly, by which time i felt un-tired enough to head out - hence the 2nd part of the title, most of my runs are so late i may as well be a vampire - tonight i left the house at 11p.m.
I brought the dog with me and did 6k without any music. Sometimes its nice to tune out and self-hypnotise to the sound of foot fall and sharp breathing. At this time of night the streets are peaceful and its quite rewarding to drag yourself out (getting into the shower at midnight is a bit of a bummer tho).
So, i need to get out for 8k at some stage tomorrow, 5k saturday and 11.2k Sunday (its a drop back week), and then see how it goes for the next few weeks.
On a slightly worrying note the left ankle was twingy most of the way and the right knee started tightening up in the last k - they're both okay now, an hour later, hopefully it'll stay that way....
