Day 7: Tuesday 23rd October, 2012: Force myself with a morning run despite the fact that my legs had not recovered from last Sunday's 27km run. I knew I wont do much but what the heck. Take on Kangundo road and the problem with this road is that I haven't marked any distances (kms), I am just gauging myself with the number of minutes and my speed level - an average of 5mins/km - so 40 mins back and forth translates to 16kms or thereabout. Thats what I did but sped up when I came across a hill - images of Ndakaini are still fresh on my mind which invokes the burning urge of charging at any hill in sight. That uphill speed stirred up the pain in my upper thigh...again!
My trip back home wasn't very sweet, I had to slow down tremendously so as not to put myself in a worse situation. Completed my run in 1: 28, a very bad run coz I am still feeling fresh but with sore legs. Put my upper thigh on ice and resume my daily routine. To do another run on Thursday evening and then rest till Sunday.
