I won another challenge! Over the 14 days of MetaFilter Runs 3.0, I managed to log 77.21km (squeaking by the awesome AJR by a mere 1.21km). Folks, that’s an average of 5.5km A DAY. Back in the first Challenge, I did 88km in a whole month. Pretty big improvement, huh? I will admit that my ratio of running to walking isn’t great, but that’s intentional. I’m so wary of hurting myself again that I’m making a conscious effort to build my strength up slowly. The Snook and I are doing the Couch-to-5K Plan to jump-start our City 2 Surf training, and we’ve just finished Week 2. I’ve been walking to work whenever possible too – I’ve saved a heap on bus fare! I’m also icing my hamstring whenever I can to aid in recovery.

Of course, the MetaFilter boys aren’t giving up. The next Challenge has already started… and we’re going for speed. Who can run the fastest 5K in the next two weeks? Don’t worry; I’m happy to let this one go. 🙂
