Ooooyah!!! It has started!!!

Ooooyah!!!  It has started!!!

What has started you may say?  The 5am, 5k for 5 days a week, each full week in October....started this morning.  Bit of a mouthful.

The ankle and ribs are still a bit "spicy" from the speedbump bmx pumptrack crash a couple of Sundays ago, but the first 5k was "wheezed" out this morning, and I have hobbled about for the rest of the day!  

Back at it tomorrow.  Not gonna lie, this first week is daunting!  Enjoy the picture of the darkness.

Speedbumps and shakedowns....

Speedbumps and shakedowns...

The prep 5ks were going great until last Saturday when I hit a wee speedbump.  The speedbump in question was 2 crashes in 15 mins at a pumptrack on the bmx (thanks Craig), resulting in a couple of sore ribs and a very swollen ankle.  Fast forward 5 days of "resting the ankle" and I wobbled out tonight for a shakedown run, turned out ok, sore and slow but I managed a 5k.

Feeling a bit nervy for the start of 5 back to back 5ks on Monday though.  "It has come around fast," as my mum would say....

My sweat smells like Spanish onions?....

My sweat smells like Spanish onions?.....

Apologies to anyone who has ever been around me whilst I have been exercising over the years but I now realise that when I am overheating and leaking, I smell like a ripe spanish onion.  Not the epiphany I was expecting at 5am this morning.

Anyway, the 2nd 5k has been puffed out, ankle sore, ribs sore, generally all over sore, but I got round.  Slower than yesterday as I stopped to have 8 attempts at a selfie, mid 50s ain't no beauty pageant.  

Follow the link for a cheeky wee sponsor? no worries if not, I love you anyway. X

Lonely at 5am....

I have managed to knock out a fair few 5k prep runs this week at 5am, but jeezo it is lonely.  I said "morning" to a few other early morning joggers on route, some said hi back, some totally ignored me - I guess they were "in the zone", or maybe it was my loud Bermuda shorts which Pauline said were "too much" (and not just for that time of the morning).   I run with earphones in and the Rocky IV soundtrack only distracts you so far from the fact you are on your own, outside, running, when there are few other humans about......

I need a plan....

+ and -

First couple of early morning back to back prep runs done.  The resulting sore quads and tonnes of lactic acid make it difficult to negotiate stairs - especially going down the way.  Still, the sunrises have been worth it...

Nerves?

September is closing out fast and October is just around the corner!  Getting a bit nervy now so I will be out doing some more warm up kilometers before October shows it's face.    Not sure if that is a good idea or not......

5kms, at 5am, 5 days a week, each week in October?

Hi, planning to run 5kms for 5 consecutive days, each week of October ...oh, at 5am.  100kms in total for the month.   Should be fun, sore, both?!  Any donations will be greatly appreciated. Muchos gracias. x
