| Coming back up the stairs. The pain was real!! |
The view is certainly worth it all but unfortunately I was taking so much care trying not to fall down them that I didn't get to enjoy it as much as I would have liked too. I then missed my first long run last weekend but decided that I would complete it on Monday morning and still do my complete week of training. This resulted in me running over 44km this week. I have been focusing on the time I am on my feet for at the moment rather than the km I am running each time which means I might not be covering as big a distances all the time as I should be (or might have done in the past) as I am a little slower at the moment but I am getting out there and that is the main thing. This weekend, a friend was up from Wellington and asked if I would join her for the Palmerston North Parkrun on Saturday morning. I was certainly keen to find out what Parkrun was all about but I also knew I had a 1hr 20min run planned for the day. How to do both? Get up early, head over to Palmerston North and run for 50 minutes on my own before joining the Parkrun group and running that 5km. It actually ended up meaning I got the best of both worlds and had some company for the end of my run.

I feel proud of what I achieved this week. It certainly took some sheer determination at times to keep myself going but I did it. I am already starting to plan this coming week with a 40 minute run, 60 minute run, a smaller 30-35 minute run and then come next Saturday 1 hour 40 minutes and I am going to make sure there are hills for that run. I'm going to have to get the legs use to hills if I am going to achieve Rotorua!
Well that is all from me for now. Until next time ...
You're doing great! keep up the hard work, tick off every run (as many as you can, while still looking after yourself!) and you'll be ready to roll in May!
