Getting into the second week of my new job after a mostly relaxing weekend. The first week was fine, mostly tiring because there were a lot of impressions, but I'm really happy with the soft landing my new colleagues arranged for me.
Yesterday (Sunday) I finally got to run the 10k I've been training for since July. It was my main motivator to get out of the house and stay busy while I was looking for a new job, so the timing couldn't have been better. Last week I didn't run at all because of the new job, but I didn't need to anyway. All went well and I'm very happy to say I ran a new personal record at 47:30 mins :)
Don't really know yet if I'll try to keep in shape for future races but for now I'm definitely resting my legs, hehe.
Congrats on the self improvement!
Good for you on all accounts and it's great to 'taper' before a race/etc. It gives your body time to recover and get it done when you need it
