opened a can of wupass
What a great run I had today! I haven’t felt this good about a hard run since Okanagan International Marathon in October!
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been enjoying running as I always do – I just haven’t felt good lately about running with intensity (hard and/or fast). I’ve really been struggling with my intensity level as of late.
I think the turnaround began last Wednesday. That one was a good run but it was tainted with that pinched nerve thing I had. This week, I was 99% healthy and had decided I was going to have a good, hard run – no “ifs, ands or buts”. I even put on the ol’ Nike heart rate monitor for the first time in a few months.
Anyway, I was rewarded by the running gods today. I ran more than 10km in about 52 minutes but that is only half the story – the route I took included four, count ‘em four, big hills (Walterdale, Victoria, Ezio Farone & Bellamy)!
The best part was I had excellent power up those hills and my recovery was also very good.
yabba dabba do!
