OHR week 1 day 3 & Easter Break

Thursday's run was ok, better than Tuesday at least. My fastest so far at 7.14min/km, another 4km run. It was a slightly frosty 7C morning, and so far I seem to have my best runs in the cooler temperatures.

I thought I was getting a stitch for the first time while running, then it was accompanied by discomfort in my upper back/shoulder/neck just on the right side. Odd pains usually mean I've put my hips and lower back out of alignment. That could explain the funk I've been in this week, so I've got a physio appointment tomorrow afternoon.

My next run is planned for Wednesday morning. I've also taken a ww break and haven't been tracking my meals over the weekend, the only exercise I got was out doing some gardening on Friday. I have overindulged in the chocolate and coca-cola, gone out for three meals and am feeling a bit seedy now. I enjoyed every minute of it, and I'm really looking forward to my next run. I think the break has done me good.

  1. Good job on completing the "official" portion of C25K. I am so glad that I came to your blog - - this is the first time I have seen mention of the OHR and been provided info - -now I have some sort of guidance when I "graduate".

    The second cool thing is after looking at your playlists - -that somehow I share the exact music tastes with a young lady in New Zealand - -me, and old fat guy in the States - - I'm not joking - -if I unlimited access to all music, you nailed most of my favorite songs - - LOL.

    Looking forward to keeping up with your progress since you are a bit ahead of me - - I'm glad you stopped by my blog as well - -thats how I found yours!!

    Keep running

    Ahh, I'm takin' a mob of 6000 from Goondiwindi to Gympie."
    "Oh yeah ... and what route are you takin'?"

  2. Everyone needs a lil break every now and then... I enjoyed mine over vacation. It turned out for the better.

    Hope your physio appointment goes well and doesn't hold up your runs. Keep up the good work!
