Day 7 - So Sore and So Tired!

The second day of running and I can honestly say I was in agony! We are trying to do more morning runs as our first race together is in the morning (10am) so we know we need to get used to it.

The last couple of days I have been in agony with an extremely tender and sore stomach (I would say Abs but I don't have any lol), I was stopping constantly on Monday just through fear of being sick while running and today my stomach area especially at the bottom of the rib cage feels bruised and too sensitive to touch ..... I coughed earlier - I swear I thought my midriff had imploded pmsl

Alarm went off at 7:15am and we were out the door and warmed up by 7:45am from the start my legs felt like lead, almost as if they were too tight to move but I know we stretched well as I am prone to injuries when I do not..

The head wind today was punishing and although hand on heart I did not want to give up, I sure felt as though I was letting Aaron down by not being better than Monday!

Just to put it out there though - the rudeness of some runners, pedestrians and cars is unreal, atleast when running at night there is a calmness that flows but in the morning holy crap people are in a fowl mood! Half the runners who passed us looked at us in a passing glance but made no effort to smile, nod or even wave a hand, pedestrians seemed to go out of there way to actually get in the way lol and cars would continue to drive across the zebra crossing despite us being on it!!!!

Overall not a great run lol it was only 1 minute longer than our first run so all in all I can't be too disappointed but I think we may need to get up 30 mins earlier to avoid the hustle and bustle. When I am able to hold form and continue running then the busyness will not bother me but in these early stages I just want to trip people up lol

Time to throw myself onto the foam roller and then it is shower time and then off to work.

As I send this blog into the great void that is the Internet - I wonder which time of running you prefer or train too...... Morning or evening/night?

Have a great Wednesday everyone xxx
