First day of my running week and what a fantastic start it has been.

The weather is so lovely, not too warm and not too cold

.

I had such a good run, my best for such a long time.

My running pace has been slowing down for quite some time now and I was starting to think I would never get back to how fast I was but fortunately today has proved me wrong.

I got a personal best 5k, I just had so much energy. I really enjoyed my run, so much so that I lost track of time and landing up finishing my run miles from home (ok maybe not miles but far enough lol).

When I got home I completed my strength training workout. This time I increased the weights I was using, nothing heavy just a 10 kg dumbbell in each arm which was great for forward lunges and holding just 1 dumbbell for squats. My arms feel as worked as my legs now 🙂

• Distance – 5.46 mi

• Pace – 7:20 /mi

• Time – 40m 7s

• Best estimated 5k effort (22:03)

• Best estimated 2 mile effort (14:06)

Time for work, Night all
