It feels silly to call it day 5 when it will be my 2nd day of exercise. I also think it is meant to be day 6. Whatever.
I haven’t got out of my house yet. I’m writing this in the morning. Have been feeling anxious since last night and I’m worried about this next ‘easy’ run today. I’ll leave for the gym soon and hopefully will feel better. I read Talking at Night yesterday (instead of revising my lecture notes) and met Ryo for coffee & chips which was nice. We both had a crisis about next year and had to reroute the conversation to more fun things, like travelling. I was looking at flights to Las Palmas which are really cheap right now and am thinking about going. I probably won’t though because it feels too big of a trip to do on my own. We were talking about solo travelling and I would like to do it because I’m never going to do anything I want to if I just wait for people. But I also don’t know what I want so doesn’t really matter. I’ve started reading Ghosts by Dolly Alderton now. The parkrun was cancelled too which was a shame. Left my phone on last night and didn’t sleep much - Erin texted at 6 because she could hear clunking in the house which I could also hear (turns out it was Chloe going to work…). Been a very eventful (not) few nights for our house. There was also a weird smell yesterday evening which has gone now - extra weird because nobody had cooked anything.
update: 70 minute ‘easy’ run complete! I didn’t feel good about this until about 45 minutes in when I took 3 mins to walk and slowed my running pace down. I was also meant to do a strength and conditioning workout but I was feeling very dazed afterwards so figured that wasn’t the best idea. Slowly building an aerobic base or something.
Although I missed the strength and conditioning this week, the first week is done! I don’t reckon I’ll actually do the race but it is fun to pretend and enforce some consistency in working out. Next week I probably will struggle to exercise though due to my exam on Tuesday. Whateva
