I'm very excited. I ran 5.77km yesterday in 41 minutes. First 5 km run since my injury! I'm quite shocked as I didn't think that I was going to be able to make it to 5km at all. The 0.77 extra was some walking that I did to warm up and a bit in the middle...but kept going after 5km so I could actually say that I actually ran 5km! yay!
I think I have got back into the swing of the gym. My last couple of sessions with my PT have kick started my motivation again. Hopefully I can manage to keep it going. Last nights run was great - although my legs are definitely paying for it tonight.
I have to make 6 sessions in the next 2 weeks - definitely achievable. Three 5km runs and three weight sessions that he has planned out. Last night was session 1. Although I can't get the gym until Saturday now since I can't go tonight because my legs are like lead and tomorrow night I am coaching. Friday nights I help coach the Wellington Special Olympics Basketball team - those with intellectual disabillities. Its great fun and they're such a great bunch.
