Cursa DIR - 10k

Two weeks of recuparation and finally better feelings when running. Ofcourse the lack of speed training makes good times hard to accomplish, but running without fear for recurring injury is a big change.

Todays race started early at 8h30 am, which was good, since it was going to be a warm and sunny day and this way we avoided excessive heat and associated problems. Eventhough the start area is not very near where we live I went there running at easy pace to warm up. I dropped my bag and did some more warmup exercises and then entered my box at the start. At the sounds of Thunder by AC/DC we were counted down and shot away.

Cursa de Nou Barris - 10k + 1k

Still bothered by my soleus injury today was a test run to see if the muscle/tendon could withstand 40 minutes of continuous load. I lost condition but at least the injury is now back to sensitive but no longer painful. Two more easy weeks with short runs and strenghtening excersises for the lower legs hopefully will make the next 10k more fun. Considering the hilly course of this race finishing in 41m21 was not bad at all.

Yesterday Jordi ran a 1k at the track of the athletic club Nou Barris. He finished in 4m02 in 13th place. This was his first experience doing a full track event.
