… and the countdown continues…..
It is 5 more days to when the wife and I make our way to the airport.
After doing some packing today, I decided to go for a run. A looooong one. I filled up the Adidas running bladder…. ok, before you start getting any ideas…. this is what it looks like…..
… and I went a running.
I just went into running mode and I just ran and ran. There were a couple of times when I actually thought of only doing two laps instead of three, but I just pushed myself and I did eventually complete the three. The right knee was starting to ache a little but after I changed my running style a bit, it was back to normal.
Another good thing that came out of this run was that I completed 15 km and still felt good at the end. I just have to keep at it and yeah.. I managed to break the 10 km wall that I constantly faced. I broke the wall last week when I managed to go 12 km, but today, I added another 3 km to that. The last 12 km run, I ended with two aching knees but this time round, with my trusty knee braces that I picked up from the pharmacy the other day, all felt good.
So, a pat on my back to encourage myself, and a good night’s sleep, here I come!
