where i run these days

made with my sh.ty camera phone while on the job

friday's session

went out tonight as well even though it was very hot. it felt much worse than the heat spike two days ago but it was only 31 vs the 35 celcius before.
it was a different route as i left the dog home in this heat. knew that it will be longer than this weeks's previous 4k runs and will some climbs as well after the relatively flat runs.
also i bought my first pair of real trail shoes today. they are the adidas response trail, gray and orange edition. they were chosen from the big collection of futaneet.hu. very comfy, loads of traction. less dumping and ankle hold then my saucony pro grid 5 pair.
all around it was a good run. i managed to keep the hr in the planned zone (in the 70% range) as well which is quite unusual for me as i tend to push too much.
5.7k total in aerob mode.

back in the saddle

it's been quite a ride these past months. everything went very well until end of april. then the usual kicked in again. had to do a lot of stuff around the house, at work so running became the thing to dump. but in my mind i was already set that this year quitting is not an option.
june started with two, great paced run. short, 5k each but caused a knee pain that i've never experienced before. of course i pushed too hard after a month break but this is just how i am. so i had to rest to get my legs back.
june passed. got emotional that if faith does not let me run than i shouldn't push too hard.

but this year i wont quit!

so this week is about coming back. slowly and running short (<5k)>30 celsius) we (me and the dog) go out. we'll go again tonight...
