Hello. I spent most of Sunday evening and Monday trying to recover from my first race on Sunday. I decided to take a slow and gentle jog over to Asda on Monday evening. I was desperately craving fajitas and had forgotten to take any chicken out of the freezer. I ran easy and it felt good to be out getting some fresh air and giving my legs a good stretch.
Big mistake...fast forward to Tuesday evening, I arrive at Bushfield ready and raring to go. We also have a little talk upstairs before we run about previous and up coming races. Everyone was really supportive of my first race and it helped to put a big smile on my face.
Running didn't got to plan. We decided to stick to a smallish 3.3 mile route, I set off well at a strong pace for the first mile but I started to really struggle, my legs cramped up and really hurt. So I tried to take it easier. My legs don't feel injured but they felt really tight and weak and I really didn't want to risk an injury. I got home and had a nice long bath and spent the rest of the evening with my legs covered in ice packs.
I'm going to take it easy tonight and hopefuly be able to bang out a few more miles on Thursday. I really feel like I now need to try and increase my distance. I feel stuck at the 4/5 mile mark.
