It's really strange that the busier I am, the more posts I write. Since finishing exams, I have hardly written a thing in this blog! I guess because there is more to say when you're busy. I'm going to mix it up and write a post with random list type things, because lists are awesome.
I am, ever so slowly, increasing my running speed without trying. To be completely honest, although I've been "running" for a year... I've actually only been consistently running 3x a week for 16 weeks now. So I'm super happy that my pace has gone from roughly 6:50 to 6:00 in that time (KM paces), and who knows what it can improve to with time, maybe if I actually start doing intervals and tempo runs and all that kind of thing... all in good time though!! Too injury paranoid - plus I'm not training for anything in particular right now.
Well, that was point 1.... point 2.. I attempted to make the peanut butter protein cookies featured in my WIAW post. The batter was amazingly awesome. When it cooked, the texture came out strange, and the flavour wasn't quite the same. I haven't figured out where I went wrong yet, but I will give it another go at some point!! Would love to have some daily protein cookies mmmmmm....
OK, that's actually all I've got ;) My iPhone has stopped being able to import photos for some stupid reason, so I've got no photos and probably no WIAW tomorrow :(
That's great you've made running progress! It always feels great to make progress on goals :)
ReplyDelete6mins per k is awesome. Congrats on bringing your time down! You should do intervals & tempo runs now, your times will improve a lot :)
ReplyDeleteI love that even though you start out wanting to die, if you keep it up, running will become second nature. I've had to start all over again after each baby and at first thought, 'I will never run again' but after time it all came back.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome per k time! You are doing so well with running, and it's just going to keep getting better and better :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on upping your speed!! I'm a new runner, too, but that sounds like incredibly fast progress to me!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the progress!! You should definitely start doing some tempo and speed stuff. I wouldn't worry about injury too much, as long as you're not doing too much too soon. Even just a little could help you improve even more than you already have!
