The effects of Lingmell Nose were felt well into the next week, but I fancied trying the new course for the Bodyfit 5k near Cockermouth on Wednesday. I went for a walk on Monday evening after work which turned into a slow 6 mile jog on sore legs... oops! On Tuesday evening we headed to St Bees for a spot of bouldering in glorious sunshine.
I set myself the deadline of Wednesday morning to be able to walk up and down stairs without wincing and with a bit of effort succeeded, so that was that, time for something completely different!
I last ran a 5k race back in 2005, so not a speciality. I did do a fair warm up well it was more like a reminder for my legs how to run slightly fast session. The course was hilly for a 5k, almost all downhill or flat to start and then mostly uphill to finish. I set off fast as always and as it was only 5k just tried to hang on. It hurt like hell, and was not the most pleasant thing I have done recently. I finished 5th Lady in 20:39, about half a minute outside my PB from 6 years ago. I was mildly disappointed with my time until P pointed out that I had just run Wasdale 4 days previously, and do no training what so ever for a fast run like this, so…..
