Week three - train, train, train...
Monday 21st June after week 2 being a little bit of a mixed bag, I was hoping to get back to my schedule. I must have filtered out the reality of it though when I checked again and see last week I should have ran 25-35 mins each run for the Intermediate running schedule. To be honest looking back, if it was that long I may have given up the ghost because the 20mins was long enough but just about manageable.
So back to the schedule. Ahead of tennis league on Tuesday (not counting this as a run this week) I ran 31 minutes twice around the Mystery and home. It was a hard core, really hot on Monday evening too. But I pushed on through it. Tip of the week: Someone told me the best thing about running is if you feel like you need to stop, just run less hard until you get your breathe back and strength and then build up again to normal pace. I used this a lot on Monday.
I was happy to get round and that my new pedometer the Silva Connect pedometer that I was using gave me a distance of about 3.5km. I just wiped 4 days of data. So I can't now upload it so I'll have to start again - but promise - I did run it! I also got myself a really nice bit of kit for my bike which is a speedometer or odometer, I'm still struggling to use it, as a bloke I don't want the indiginity of having to read instructions but I can't figure it out so I may have to.

Last nights run got wiped off and tonight unless I run late on 9pm its not looking to good with a wedding at the weekend are my excuses already in the bag. Must try to get out there tonight. And I can put the three peds to the test - tete a tete.
