This morning, I had my 2nd one with me on my second day of getting fit for the 4km run. To and fro on that stretch of park connector, we should have covered slightly more than 1 km.
It was a combination of jog and walk for me, actually more walk than jog. I tried to lift my legs higher and put more spring into it so that I could cover more distance with each stride. It was quite an effort doing that as my legs felt lethargic.
After some time, I noticed that with each pounding step, my innards felt shaken at the same time.
When we got home, I was so exhausted, I wanted to sleep. My daughter commented that after a run, we were supposed to feel energized, but not me, I was just deadbeat. I noticed the muscles near my hips hurt. I am glad I managed to cover that distance today.
At this moment, the 4km run for hope looks like a mission impossible for me. Still, I hope to practise for a few more days to see if there is any improvement before I really call it quits.
