Yellow leaf ...



This title has nothing to do with my blog today, I just think it is very funny. Those of you who understand, great, and those of you who don’t, hihihi...

So today I had a full day with my choir and therefore decided to skip my running group training and just go for a run myself later. Didn’t feel like being stressed for time on a holiday, too much of that in other days! After the choir thing, I came home and got relaxed in my sofa. Watched The Simpsons in Iceland, had a friend for a short visit, and watched the newest Game of Thrones episode. I really need someone to kill that Geoffrey monster, seriously, he is too horrible!! It was very difficult to get off the sofa and out for a run. I almost didn’t make it. But I did. Hurray for me. 

I was only going to do 5K today, have been feeling tired in my legs and feet and don’t want to overdo it. It was a disaster. I hit a wall, basically. Just couldn’t get any speed and barely managed to run half of the distance, walking the rest. Seriously, what is that all about? Shoes? That’s what I think. So now I am prioritising buying new shoes as soon as possible. I feel like my stamina and form is fine and getting much better, but I’m just so tired in my legs that I just give up trying to run faster and I don’t really do fartlek or interval training at all. I use hills, but that’s all. Let’s hope that next week I will be running like Speedy Gonzales with my new shoes.

I have actually been very active for a while now. Seems like I have a routine. Running on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Walking/hiking on Tuesdays and Sundays. And rest days on Wednesdays and Fridays. Plus strength training 3xweek. I think it is a good routine. Right?
