Finally, after 2 months waiting, I finally received my BT runners headset. I ordered some noname thingy from Groupon.nl and had to wait more than 8 weeks for the delivery. But it's here now and today I used it for a run for the first time. WOW, no more loose headset cord flapping around me. I had no idea it was so much in my way until it wasn't there anymore. It's not an top quality headset but it works fine and does the job it's supposed to: Keep a rhythm pumping in my ear while I am sweating my socks of on the street.
Talking of which, I did another steady run today. Actually it's my second since I started running and my first after my knee problems. That's why I decided to not go for broke and to slowly build things up. So I did a half distance run. The total distance was 3.32km and it took me 21:46, including warm-up and cooling-down. Looking at the pure running part of this training, then it boils down to 2.4km in 14:10 (5:54min/km or 10.2km/hr). Not bad, under 6min/km, which will be my goal for the 5k at the Run for Kika. In the next 2 weeks I need to reach that goal in order for me to be ready by June 10th. With the help of my gadgets, dj Steve Boyett and his running mixes and of course the support of my family, friends and colleagues I am 100% sure I will be able to make it so long as my various body parts keep supporting me too. My target for next week will be to actually run 5k it will be nice if it's going to be under 30 minutes but making 5k is my primary goal.
As the buckets of sweat no longer stream down my back, I think it's time to go and take a shower.
Blog to you next time.
