ONE HUNDRED KILOMETRES FOR KENNY [10*(10K4K)] – Day 9

On the day of the Sabbath, I am still wistful about the previous day’s run after which, I might add,  I was unable to move freely and easily because I used so many of my energy reserves to run that perhaps should have been used judiciously throughout the day.

But today is the new day and I am eager to justify my runner tag, I am planning a more respectable time and distance. I do my Naalya Estate route (which you should know by now, if you’ve been following closely). The weather is good, I am much more rested but I am still moving slowly. My first 5km are not inspiring any great pride from their owner. So I stop briefly and watch the Eliud Kipchoge Nike ad – BE THE FASTEST RUNNER EVER-.  I took one deep breath and proceeded to run the fastest 5km I have ever run in my life. This was recognized and rewarded by my Garmin Smart Watch.

I reach home and I am beginning to realize that for reasons that are now unclear to me, I have been setting some artificial limits for myself in reference to speed. I am now actively questioning those conventions and rightly so. 90KM
