I really just need a blog post to test an integration.
Yesterday was quite a good day. I was able to sleep in, felt refreshed and was motivated to run this day. My relationship with running is a bit cursed because of two things.
- my left foot does have some issues due to overloading in 2018 and every time I neglect to do my usual exercises, I get pain as a result
- my mental health is rather poor
This is a perfect combination to not go running. So I’m kinda proud and happy that I did go running after all. I didn’t propose anything to myself and just started.
Parking lot at the half way mark
After a few minutes it was clear to me that I was too fast. I haven’t been running for some weeks and consistently for some months. So a pace of 5:30min/km was too fast. Nevertheless I just kept going and decided to do a bit of a run/walk session. 6min of running and 2min walking was a nice split size and I ended up doing 18mins of running.
To my surprise I wasn’t that exhausted after all. Stamina wise I probably could have gone for a couple of kilometers more, I didn’t want to stress my foot as much though.
