I have signed up for the 10km Street Run in
my town, Przemyśl! When I decided to do it I wasn’t sure if I didn’t
overestimate my form but I wanted to take the risk. No matter what result I
achieve, I will definitely get a commemorative t-shirt. If I fit within the 90
min I will also get a medal. The places are limited so I didn’t want to wait.
It will take place in September so I have plenty of time for training.
After I found myself on the list of participants I had
second thoughts about it. The fact is I hadn’t run such a long distnace before.
My record was more or less 4km. I decided I had to test my skills.
One
day I checked on google maps the length of the road near my house and chose the
route. I had to run to the crossroad, make 5 loops about 1 km long and come
back the same road. I didn’t tell anybody about it because I didn’t want to put
more pressure on myself. I took Helmut and started my test.
I
made it! 10km in less than 80min. I hadn’t expected I would have done so well.
My pace was quick but I made breaks for walking from time to time. When I
turned on the crossroad to make another loop, Helmut tapped my leg with his
nose as if he wanted to tell me: hey, we’ve already been there! He drew my
attention in this way at the beginning of each lap. It was so funny and sweet.
When
we came back home I realised that I didn’t hurt my legs at all. I felt they
were as heavy as lead which is fine after such an effort. The same day and the
next one I also did Cardio X and the second planed workout. I was tired and had
to exercise less intensively. I modified moves but I didn’t give up. Running is
just a bonus.
Now
I know I will be able to run 10km and maybe I will even fit in time.
The
photos you see here were taken last year. I cheered my sister on the First 10km
Street Run organized in my town. Next year we will have fun together there,
now I’m sure of it.
