I’ve been so busy at work since I came back from holiday
that I’ve been struggling to fit any exercise in so today I made a concerted
effort to get out for a short run at lunch along the canal.
The problem with road/canal running is that I go too fast at
the start. I shouldn’t be running fast
at all at the minute because I’m recovering from injury so should be taking it
easy but I just can’t help it. I try to
slow down but before I know it I’ve unconsciously sped up again.
The canal was closed a short way down so I had to come off
and run through the streets which should have slowed me down but vanity made me
keep going faster. I can’t be seen to be
plodding through the streets of Manchester!
Needless to say, when I turned around after 1.5 miles and
headed back I was knackered.
I think I just can’t get it into my head that I can’t do the
things I was doing pre-injury at the minute and need to build back up again. Pre-injury, three miles was absolutely
nothing so to get tired from it now is pretty rubbish but I don’t want to end
up doing too much too soon and making my injury even worse. It hasn’t completely resolved yet so I really
do need to chill out and take it easy!
Total distance – 3 miles
