Two nice runs

I neglected to mention it in the post that I did on Sunday but I did a quick 7Km loop around my neighbourhood. It was a good run and I enjoyed it.

Today I had to work from home as my brand new dishwasher has broken down for the 3rd time in the last three months and the repairman could only come in today. I was surprisingly productive and got everything I wanted to do done relatively early so I went for a nice 10K run after lunch.

It was a pretty uneventful run but I enjoyed it. Uphill in the start, then a nice long downhill and then relatively flat for most of the middle and a short uphill bit at the end that is a bit of a killer.

It’s quite nice that I’ve reached the point where I can be relatively blase about a 10K run. :)

Overall I did 10.35 km in 1:03:57.

I’ve got two more 5K races (the next one this weekend!) then a 10K race. At this stage I think aiming for a goal of under 1 hour for the 10 K race is not unreasonable.

    What a great run!

    don’t I know about the dishwasher. I bought my house a year and a half ago, and the sellers re-did the kitchen. In doing so, they installed an 18 inch dishwasher. Even for just me it’s too small. It has already broken, and I’m not spending 500 dollars to replace it. It will become a storage bin for my dishdrainer when it’s not in use. Then I’ll redo the kitchen the right way one day!

    Congrats. I look forward to getting back on the road once I beat this sinus infection.

    That’s great! Out of curiosity, how long after you started working out did you do your first race?

    I started Couch to 5K in mid January this year and my first race was at the end of March.
