Giardino Giusto, Verona
Following my injury on 4th July, I’ve been resting up to ensure a full recovery. I did manage a couple of slow and easy runs with Elisa in Verona (posted below). It was wonderful to be running around the river there again – it’s years since I’ve run that route.
Anyway, I’m back from holiday now and need to get back into the running if I’m going to turn in a reasonable performance at the GNR in September. I’ve also added raw food only to the vegan regime for a couple of weeks as I could definitely do with shedding a few pounds. I’m excluding breakfast from this since the cereal and soya milk really sets me up for the morning and keeps hunger at bay.
Can’t tell you how much I wish we were still in Verona – uploading this photo makes me miss it already. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
My heart rate was a little high before even leaving the house for today’s run. Nothing to do with the weather, fitness levels or anything else – just a little “misunderstanding” which stressed me out. That was probably the reason for pushing the pace a little more than I might ordinarily have done in this heat and humidity. Still, it felt great to press on and I thoroughly enjoyed the exhilaration.
