Long and Less Long Runs: 5-7 to 5-13

[kelownagirl]

3k = 1.8 miles (is that all?? km's sound better.

3.6k = 2.2 miles

6 min per km = 9.6 min mile

5:40 per km = 9 min mile

My current 5k time is about 30 mins. My goal is 25 minutes.

22 C = 72 F

The next 5 days it's supposed to be 75-80 degrees.

slow day yesterday. 8.5 k in 1h. I am hatching a head cold somehow but it is not really coming on. I went running anyway and felt much better during and afterwards, this morning I feld odd again. Stomachache too from swallowing sinus drainage.

My hamstrings are a bit tired from the fast run Tuesday. Funny how that uses them more.
But anyway the run went fine, I am playing it by my breathing rythm these days instead of the polar all the time. Slow is 4 steps in / 3 out.

I passed a guy - twice. He was a slug so there's not much glory but it still made me smile . I passed him the second time because I did a little detour to get to a drinking fountain.

Hip is not acting up anymore, I've been stretching well. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

also I think I am losing a bit of fat although I've been eating like a horse.

Ah, thanks for the conversions.

Yea, I have been riding and running in 88-90 degree heat here. And that's not as hot as it gets. During the summer we ride in 100+ degree days.

Your 5K time looks great!
