It was good to achieve this run though. Since last Saturday my coccyx has hurt, but only when I sit on it, which is what I do most of the week. So the first long run is done, yeee haaa.
This week I have been commuting a long way and I thought it better to give the coccyx a rest, so did not run until Wednesday when I did a short 5km to try it out. That was OK, so I went swimming. That was fine until we learnt tumble turns. I'm a believer now. I love them, but they make your coccyx hurt.
Thursday I ran the scheduled 9.6km, Friday I rested before Saturdays long run and Sunday I swam in the 50m K2 pool at Crawley, awesome pool, awesome tumbleturns and only a couple of pints of water flushed my nostrils out, still slow though, really must get some muscles.
Bring on next week, drag up a cushion you 'couch of doomers', make yourself real comfortable.
