So it has been a full week since I ran and I feel like I rested my foot well, the inflammation seems to have gone done, but there is still alot of discomfort there at times.
Headed out with some Luna Chix, Conor and some of his friends to run the Marathon Sports 5 miler. I took part in this event last year, but did the 3 mile fun run.
Great run today, headed out fast for the first two miles, slowed alot and then in the last mile found some reserve in the tank. I felt that had I gone out slower my time could have been better. I did however still PR with a time of 43:51, with a 8:47 pace.
My previous 5 mile times were not that fast, so definitely pleased despite my week dealing with my foot and anxieties about not running, I can still come out make a PR and keep moving forward.
Enjoyed running with Conor too for a bit, it was quite a while since we ran any distance together. His time was 41 minutes, so I was not too far behind him. I must pick out a race for us to run together after the marathon, would love for us to do a half-marathon together and off course be the first to cross the finish line.
We have a competitive little thing going on with half-marathon times. He holds the record, but me being the runner in the relationship, I would love to hold the record even for a little bit.
