End of Month Tuesday
First day back at school for the kids today! I usually take the kids on their first day back (now Grade 1 and 5) so this meant I could sleep in a little and get in a good length run as well! Woohoo!
I was surprised how fast I went out along Beach Road this morning but when I turned around I realised I had been running with a strong tail-wind and now it was all head-wind back. Heads down, Holly and I pressed on home and came back with a 12k average of 6min/km.
I'm pleased with today's effort although I seem to have now developed a big toe nail problem. It is quite sore and red under the nail. During the 30k run on Saturday it felt quite uncomfortable but I thought it was just my mind complaining and wanting to stop running.
Today concludes my first month of training for the Canberra Marathon with my biggest monthly km total ever and also my longest run to date. All mid-week medium long runs and long runs were completed and I juggled my way around the remainder with the heat/humidity and work commitments.
Planned: 247.5kms
Completed: 234.6kms (95%)
Shin pain: 1/5 (probably because the toe hurts more)
Big Toe pain: 2/5
Mood: Pretty pleased with myself
