Didi ran it!

My previous post has context on what I’m about to say so check that out first?

Did the run this evening with my neighbour as my pacer. First, I feel like evenings are bad for me because I haven’t had the best experiences running in the evenings. But my body was feeling up for it, and I said, why not?

Anyway, I did it. Third time was the charm. Broke the mental block and got it done.

For context, it was 5 x 1km at 5:25/km. This would’ve been easy for me last year, but I’m not at my best fitness right now.

The first lap wasn’t hard. The first day I did it, I breezed through the first lap and maxed out by the second. The second day, I made it to the third lap. Today, I knew I could do the first three. I just didn’t know how I’d get through the fourth and fifth. Thankful to my pacer, who was really just there showing me I could do it.

Got home with all the energy in the world. I did it. I felt good.

Did some work, spoke to friends and family. Didn’t even eat.

I feel good, and perhaps we’ll tackle that startup problem tomorrow, as I promised.

All is well that starts well, because this is just the beginning… Thinking of signing up for the Berlin Marathon this year.
