Yesterday was the cross country race around Lake Ginninderra. While I thought I had pulled up well from Sunday’s run (Monday was no problem), today I had a sore right hamstring – it was feeling rather tight. Mental note to self – have an easy, gentle run; don’t do anything stupid. Started well and ran easily for the first couple of kms and stayed within my comfort zone. The hamstring, while noticeable, wasn’t a problem so I picked it up a notch. I found I was passing people on the hills (well, small bumps – could hardly call them hills!) and I soon had 2 females in my sights – both good runners. One of them I was confident of passing; the other I don’t usually see until the finish but today I managed to stay with her, then pass and eventually pull away. After the race she was saying that she’s been lacking motivation lately – I knew there had to be a reason. The last km was hard (they always are) but I managed to maintain my cadence and finish strongly (km splits to come).

This morning was a different matter! It was hard work running this morning and even the small hills seemed a lot steeper and longer than usual. However I slogged away and eventually finished – 2hr 11.32mins later! It was a long 21.1km today. The hamstring is still a bit sore so I might have a rest day tomorrow and run on Friday –just to be careful.

Domani
Either a 13km easy run or a rest day – will re-assess in the morning.
