A good, hard run, but not a PB-Nik

3 sets of planks, dips and push-ups.

6.5 miles/ 10.36km in 49:45

Turns out that this isn’t a PB.  I looked up the PB I set last Summer, just before the family came over fromAz, I had done a 10.8km i n 49:15, but nonetheless, a good run considering how sloppy I felt.

Did the first half down to Nimmo’s pier, but I ran around Lough Attalia and around the dock.  Mid point bang on 25 minutes.  Pushed hard on the way back on tired legs and made it back in 24:45 for a total run time of 49:45.   I can’t really do the planks after the run, as I use them to warm up, otherwise I could be a little faster.

Noticed about an hour after the run that I have pulled a load of muscles in my butt and also down my right leg, including the hamstring.  Bummer.

Just worked out that to put in a ’4 run’ week this week (my week presently starts Sundays) I will have to run on my beat up right leg tomorrow.  I’ll see how stiff it is in the morning.  Definitely no records…
