Week 10 - 11

Week Review:

These last two weeks haven't been as successful as I hoped for. I had set myself the goal of fitting in the 5ks into the 30 minute time frame - planning to achieve this by today. Although, things have not gone as planned!

In week 10, I managed to achieve 5kms in around 35 minutes and beat that time by a few seconds on the Wednesday. Unfortunately, due to Australia Day on the Thursday, I missed Friday's run. So I thought that a 4 day rest before the next Monday would set me up for a positive week, but the opposite happened!

On Monday's run I barley got to 2kms and I had to walk the rest of the way home! My legs would not rotate and I was not comfortable at all. I told myself I would just try again on Wednesday. Then on Wednesday I just made it through the 30 minutes of jogging, covering a dismal distance of just over 4kms. This morning, I was just too tired from starting work again to get up.

I really do not know what has happened. I am jogging slower than I was when I first started the 30 minute jogs of Week 9 and my running action has become so awkward.

Well Week 12 is going to be a new start. I am really hoping I can get back into the swing of things. I still really want to achieve my goal of jogging in the 6.5km fun run that is on at the end of March.

I am going to write here weekly to keep myself on check. I will not stuff up the work I have done over the last 3 months!

Just a bump in the road...next week is a new week :)
