Yesterday’s run was longer than planned. I had not been running for over a week, to make sure my leg would be recovered. I also bought new shoes (Muzino Wave Inspire 4, I think (the box does not give any information)) at the Running Center in Brugge. After about 37 minutes, I felt like I could keep going for a while, so I took a right turn instead of a left (after about 7.5 km) and ran towards the dike. I had to keep convincing myself to not turn back home immediately at each crossroads, but I managed to hang in there. In the end I ran about 12.79 km (according to the route tracker on the myasics website).
I took this route:
It might be a tad hard to figure it out, but I essentially ran along the top line when leaving my home, along the waypoint marked ‘1′ (In the Vredestraat) to go down the map in the Steense Dijk. On the way back, I turned left at the roundabout (about 200 m from the ‘1′ waypoint).
The last kilometer was really hard, and I ran much slower than usual. When I walked down (and up) the stairs this morning, my left knee was not very cooperative. So, I’m taking it easy again for the next days. The next run will also be shorter, to make sure I’m not getting injured.
Nice run! I also have to face the convincing-myself issue each time I go for a run, but I usually fail miserably :-/
