So today I returned to running in the dark after my lovely sunny riverside run yesterday. I learned my lesson about yoga before running on Friday so had to get my run out of the way before heading to a 9am bikram class. My days of getting up at 5 to hit the road at 5.30am on Sunday mornings are distant memories so I struggled out at 7 something and decided to do a short 20 min run. I ran uphill on the way out and then downhill on the way back so I factored that in, long slow slog up the hill and a better pace on the way back down. I need to plan my week today so that I get a few longer runs in. I can't keep using my lack of fitness and weight gain as an excuse for so many short runs! Anyway, I jumped in the shower and got ready for bikram, the class was mopped today, more and more people kept piling in. I suppose everyone is on their January fitness kick. 90 mins of sweating and bending later and I felt good and rewarded myself with 90 mins of tv before coming to work. Hopefully I'll have a good run in the morning, although of course it will be dark!
Over and out...
Enjoy your planning and tomorrow's morning run.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as though you had a good workout today and I think short, regular bursts of activity can be as beneficial as sporadic long stints.
