A Little Concerned

Too much stuff going on so this post will have to be short, though not sweet. I skipped my 5k run yesterday since I was still feeling a bit of pain on the outside of the left knee. The run got pushed back to this evening instead. It was a late run since I had baseball practice to coach and then Owen's Spring Concert at his school to go to. By the time I got out it was closing in on 9pm. The weather here has been pretty humid and hot the last couple of days, and although I will never complain about the heat I can tell that my body is not yet acclimatised.

The run was crap. My knee is not better, my pace was slow, and it did nothing for my confidence heading into the race this Saturday. I managed the 5km in 29:36 for an average pace of 5:55/km, or 9:31/mile. I definitely do NOT feel speedy and have no idea what to expect when I line up at the starting line on Saturday evening.

Now it's late, I have not yet packed for our trip to Ottawa, nor do I have the kids' stuff all ready to go. We are driving tomorrow and it's stressing me out a little bit since I really want to miss rush hour traffic if at all possible, especially with a 7 and 4 year-old in the back seat.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. I did get to the pool this afternoon and swam 1000m in 14:53.

Garmin don't lie.
