Running long 1:14:40 [3] 13.35 km (5:36 / km)

Pre breakfast from accommodation out on the backroads. Beautiful morning and felt really at home, super quiet countryside. Loving life until the road I was on had to go passed some farm buildings where there was a ‘beware of the dog sign’. I told myself I was on a road so keep going as might not even see it and could always turn around. As I ran past the buIldings I looked into yard to see if I could see them and when I turned around the dog was actually right in front of me on the road! I stopped running and took one step forward and the dog got up. I told myself it was a Labrador or something like that and they’re not big scary bad dogs but then it stared barking. I decided to turn around but it followed me but just barking and not actually coming too close aggressively so actually managed to go past and continue the planned loop. I did walk until I was well clear and the dog just happily sat back down. I was actually proud of how calm I remained but it wasn’t very nice - reminded me of the stables up Hartrigge and why I am not an animal person. Anyway the rest of the run continued to be as nice as the first part.

Note

Stomach well and truely gone, suffering badly. Mixture of too much stress, abuse of wheat intolerance and wrong time of month, no wonder it’s given up. Luckily after giving me a bit of grief on Friday it waited until this evening to properly go so I could enjoy the weekend...

Inc. drills. Stomach had been a bit funny all day so was a little worried I might get some pain but Jenny for my club was there for the last part of my warm up and had a good catch up. Took my mind of my stomach and was exactly what I needed so all was fine.

Running race 18:26 [5] 5.0 km (3:41 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Hyper Speed 6

Just did this to remind myself how to hurt as haven't raced this distance for a while and have a race I'm sort of targeting next month, confident I can go a fair bit faster then. Tight corner laps course (people actually wiped out) and breezy evening but the main thing I can improve on is not going out too fast. No markers etc. and didn't trust my watch but 1st km/mile was too fast and by the time I realised the damage was done, last mile was a real grind. Box ticked though and I ran alright going by those around me.
