So last night after work was take one. And let's just say that, thankfully, I have some time to improve before my first race.
Unfortunately, what needs to be improved upon could be out of my control.
According to www.mapmyrun.com, I completed a six-kilometre run, taking approximately 35 minutes to do so. Even though I clocked a respectable time, it didn't exactly go according to plan.
I had to stop halfway through the run, not because of any kind of exhaustion, but for reasons of extreme physical pain.
Before switching orthotics last year, I began battling both nagging shin splints and a blood circulation issue that cause my feet to go numb part way through a run. These problems seem to happen in occasional quick spurts, but yesterday both returned with a vengeance.
I had to walk for at least five minutes on two separate occasions because I simply could no longer run anymore. As a result, I barely broke a sweat during the run.
Some post-run stretching and ice for the rest of the night has helped today, but at medical consultation may need to happen earlier than expected.
On the plus side, injuries aside, at least my timing wasn't too bad... right?
