Part two of the Ipod story..........I went for my first training run with the Pod. After the day I had, Cass hosting a mothers group at home saw a generally quite household become a childcare centre ( see pic). I needed to unwind, I was bound up like a tight spring so 15km was on the agenda.

I hadn't run this far since Warwick which is almost 2 months ago, so the outcome of this was unsure. I set off with Garmin on the right arm and the Ipod on the left and felt really good from the onset. I hadn't stuffed around with playlist as yet so there was a mix of all kinds. To be honest I really enjoyed running to music and I can see why everyone is doing it nowadays it certainly takes the boredom and annoying traffic noise away.

I dont have a set 15k track from home but it wasn't too hard to find one, basically I completed a big loop around the area followed by a smaller loop close to home. A good mix of flat with some hills in prep for the C2S. I was really happy with how I felt, pretty comfortable although by the end my legs were getting a little fatigued. I guess that is understandable considering I haven't ran this far for a while. I wil begin to do thses a little more regular from now on.

I completed the 15km loop in 68.26 mins, after the run I iced the legs especially the shins and knees, tomorrow is a rest day before a slow jaunt on Saturday to round the week out.
