Beating Back The Beast - Shorter and some what faster!

Lifting the intensity!
That was my goal for today, I wanted to lengthen my run intervals and cut my time per kilometre. I cut my run to 2 km's and increased the length of my run intervals. I was a little disappointed as I had hoped to take more off my time than I did. I shaved off 14 seconds a kilometre. It seems the nana run I was managing by the end of my run was not a lot faster than my walk, oh well onward and upward.

I think I will go for distance again for a couple of runs and then attempt a shorter faster run again. I am determined to improve both my endurance and my speed.  I must admit though breathing was an issue with the Nor'wester blowing. Always full of allergens and willing to share. I think without it I may have managed a better time so that is promising. I am thankful
the wind was not gale force this morning and allowed for the hounds and I to run in the forest.

I feel blessed to be able to run on such a beautiful morning, there have been many such mornings where simply getting out of bed and crawling through my day have been all I could manage. Feeling grateful even if I am having salad for breakfast.
