Hey all!
I’ve been away in the lovely Cotswolds with the family and I did plan on doing my last long run there of 7 miles, unfortunately I only managed 4 miles as a few of my niggles were still there and I didn’t want to push it and injure myself before this Sunday. It was still a great run though around a beautiful lake, while the kids were cycling, it just felt like a lot more than 4 I’m just hoping Sunday will be different.
I’ve also been having really achy legs especially of a morning and they are aching that much it is waking me up, which isn’t good at 5am in the morning and you need your sleep. I’ve looked in to it and it looks like it could be a number of things, bad circulation, to much strain on the legs throughout the day or nutrient deficiencies. Hopefully it’s just to much strain and once this half is over I can rest for a little bit and it will ease. It probably didn’t help we did a 10 mile cycle ride whilst we was away as well ha ha!
I did my last run today before Sunday, just a really easy 3 miler it felt good and fingers crossed no achy legs this afternoon!!
In a strange way though I am looking forward to Sunday, finally getting my head round the distance of a half marathon I think and plus the fact I am in a relay team for a half ironman with my husband!
Wish us luck and I’ll keep you updated with how we get on!
