I can’t believe it has been 5 days since I ran last. Unfortunately, my mom gave me her cold and I was sick all weekend with a sore throat, runny nose, and itchy sinuses. It has now turned into a bit of an upper respiratory problem with a cough. So I didn’t make it for a long run last weekend and thus I am behind in my training. With only less than 4 weeks left until RPS, I am starting to panic! So even though I am still fighting this cold off, I decided I needed to go for a run today. Although it would have been a great day for a brisk outside run, I opted to stay indoors because of my cold. Here is what I did at the fieldhouse:
23 laps around lane 4 as usual (ran straight) = 5.06K in 28mins 18 secs. Pace = 5:35 min/km or 10.73km/hr.
This is my fastest 5K to date! I was worried that my cold would slow me down as I was having trouble with my breathing. But I surprised myself. So I am pretty happy with that. Let’s just hope this cold is gone by tomorrow… I still have to get in my long run.
