After the excitement of the Half Marathon, I decided to give myself a week off, so today was my first run since then. I definitely felt a bit out of sorts, although the time is consistent with what I was running before the Half Marathon so I wasn't running any slower, even though it did feel like I was at times.
Distance: 5.6 miles / 9.01km
Time: 45 minutes 25 seconds
Conditions: Cold and damp, with a keen breeze blowing off the river. Battersea Park absolutely stank of fertiliser! By the time I got to the pagoda I knew I didn't feel up for a longer run today so I turned around and came back. I'm happy to be easing myself back into it though, and my leg muscles felt ok so I feel as though I have fully recovered from the race.
