Took me a while to feel comfortable running and figuring out where to run, as my usual start/end point has 1/2 km of....nothing but open space. But I've been back fairly regularly to running....something. My body is struggling to run and 5 km feels like 15. At least it makes me feel better to know that pretty much everybody feels this way and whenever I speak with a friend about exercising we all lament how hard it was to work up to whatever level we had come to and how easy it was to lose with two weeks of wartime eating and lack of motion....
And then yesterday I had a run that just made me laugh. I was at the top of our part of the city, which is a circle and, as I've mentioned in other wartime running posts, all of the buildings are unlocked, so I can duck into a stairwell if there's a siren (not as good as a real mamad but better than being outside.
As I started my run tracker, it told me "weak GPS signal". I started anyway and then got these for a 1.5 km run:
According to my run tracker, I ran 10 km (not 1.5!) and did it all with a pace of 1 minute and 12 seconds per kilometer (5.5 minutes faster per km than my normal pace!)
This was the best: If you look in the middle, you'll see that I ran from 1.5 km to 5 km in 0 minutes and 0 seconds. I'm faster than Usain Bolt!!
So there really are some benefits to having lots of Air Force planes above, I guess!
