Today is resting day. Did my 10km run yesterday and it was actually really good. Keeping within the 60min time frame turned out to give a rather pleasant and ‘easy tempo’ run so I feel pretty optimistic for the upcoming 14km run this weekend. Only concern is that my knees started hurting around 35min and then again around 50 min. A bit concerned about how they are going to handle even longer runs and running on asphalt, which I’m not going to be able to avoid as I need to start running outside very soon. Putting it off for the moment as the weather is absolutely horrid but guess that wearing the right clothing will help a bit and I’m hoping that as with everything else you get used to it.
Nike+ was once again off btw, adding a mere 1.5 km or so to the total distance. Not very impressed. Going to do some research tonight to find out if at all it’s possible to get a somewhat accurate result on the treadmill. On the positive side once I’d completed my workout and selected ‘end workout’ on my iPod, Lance Armstrong (or rather the voice of) congratulated me on my longest run so far! Nice little surprise to get an encouraging word after a completed workout. Guess I’ll be hearing his voice once every week for the next four and a bit months. Wonder if I’m going to get tired of it and if so if there is a setting that allows me to choose which celebrity that will congratulate me. Hmmm…
