Day 5 - Ouch.

Day 5

F*%$&ng ow. Today hurt like I wasn't sure my limbs could! I think I may have jumped in head first without checking how deep or cold the water was... maybe I should have climbed down the ladder, or dipped my toe in, or left the poolside got in my car and driven to the safety of my home.

I shaved a minute off each mile, which definitely shows my effort was not 100% earlier in the week, but I was absolutely dead at the end, I couldn't have gone any further and I don't know if that's right or not. Should I be absolutely empty at the end? Or should I have some fuel in the tank? Because my goal is the distance, not the speed. I don't know! I'm not a fitness guru! What I can tell you about is lipstick and cheeses, which is what got me to my current level of fitness: rubbish.

One more run of the week tomorrow then a rest day on Sunday, I will also be consuming ridiculous amounts of alcohol tomorrow evening as my last "blow-out" until the day of the run. Now if you know me, you'll know that is dedication. 

Same distance tomorrow, should be hard because my body is caving but...

"Don't stop when you are tired. Stop when you are done."
