Hey TheEd,
Managed to get long run in today. Was tough. Planned to do y/day but was too tired. Wanted to surf today, in the end did both...:mmm:
Got early night last night and got out 1st thing:
7.5 miles, 65mins, Avg 133bpm.
Was very broken up (walk/run), couldnt get into it at all, felt heavy. Struggled most of way to keep Hrate down, 10 beats above Easy pace. 1st half was into 18mph headwind, prob didn't help.
Straight after run, got into wetsuit and hit surf. It was heaving. The wind prevailed making conditions interesting - like getting blown out to sea :duh:!
Took 45mins to catch 1st wave, a corker! Felt strong all the way thorugh the session although a little sluggish manoeuvring. Caught 2 more corkers and then I got knocked into shore and couldn't paddle out, pladdling power zilched! Spent 1.5 hours in water so made it a bumper day burning cals.
Got home and felt on top of the world - cant believe how much the surf improves state of mind, its remarkable!
Might run tomorrow night with run club, although will check resting Hrate in more b4 deciding and maybe rest instead after todays efforts. Glad I went surfing - made up for the poor run and maybe will help the running later in the week and Wed 4k time trial,
Cheers,
D
