Odds and Sods

I have noticed a pattern in my runs. The even numbered ones are terrible; the odd numbered ones go really well. Last night’s was an even numbered one, therefore I was stiff, had an aching knee, had no stamina and had to keep alternating between walking and running and to cap it all I got ear ache from the wind.

Compare this to Monday’s run where I ran 4K without stopping, no aches or pains and felt really good afterwards. Weird. Hopefully tomorrow’s run will carry on the pattern and it’ll go really well. I’ll also have a running buddy; my friend and neighbour is doing the Bupa 10K so we will try and spur each other on/see who can run further and faster. If the latter option is indeed the case, I think I’ll only run with her on the odd numbered jogs!
