10K's run are a pain the bum...the right bum.

It was a perfect 9c when I went for my 10K run.  This really is the best time of the year to run.  I don't have to wake up at 5:00 am and run in 25c heat.  Instead I can have a nice breakfast (eggs on toast with a coffee) and go running at 9:00 am instead.  Just perfect.

I was hoping to have a record setting 10K run.....and I managed to do that.  I finished the run at 1:03:35 which was 2 minutes faster then my last 10K run.  I averaged 6:21 per kilometer.  The one problem with the run today is that during the 9th K I started to feel a tightness in my right bum cheek.  It bothered me all through the last kilometer.  I was thinking that when I got home to ice that cheek but somehow I never managed to get there with an ice-pack.  I guess my wife will have to give me a rub tonight. 

The result of our readers poll is that 100% of the people that responded are doing some kind of fun run or marathon this year.  That is great to hear.  If you have questions or comments please leave a comment on this page or send me an email at slowmanrunning73@gmail.com
