Its been a week plus

Last week, after the Tuesday CBD run, I felt the tiredness in my thighs and also discomfort on my right knee. I didn't do any run at all. Then I flew off to Kuwait for work (Ramadan period but no choice), jet lag and stress on the work there meant I only managed to do a threadmill run on Tuesday evening for about 4.6km.

Reached Singapore this morning but didn't manage to sleep much on the return flight. Slept at 9am and woke up at 4pm. I hoped tonight I can sleep and go for a short run tomorrow.

Tuesday CBD Run - Speed session

Tigger leads today CBD run with a slow jog (actually, not that slow) to Esplanade drive (after floating platform) just under the Shearles bridge. Then we did 6 x 1km speed run. Mine average around 5min (I think its 4min47, 4min52, 5min5s, 5min20, 5min25, 5min05). Then walk for about 12min before slow jog back to start point. Very tired and body felt a bit weird (feeling a bit of a temperature).

Slept late last night, the kids are making noise until about 10:50pm. Wife was not home yet from work so the kids were waiting up.

Plan for a SLD run at East Coast Park (ECP) with Dasher and Ripley. Highbury turned up too at 6:30am. By then, the TriFam Pacer training group had started off. We did our own pace SLD.

I was not feeling well (I think I caught flu from my boss during a 30min meeting, sigh I'm weak and haven't recover from my sore throat and now this). I struggled and sometime during the run I felt like vomiting. Did almost 2 hrs so I estimate about 17km. I saw Bug, Meteor, Cheow, WeiSan, RealRunner, AiChai, CFred, and others along the ECP doing their Pacer training. I've to go off early as I'm not feeling too good.

This week total mileage is 30km consisting of two runs (Tuesday CBD 13km and today's SLD of 17km). I may need to spread it out but SLD is important now that I didn't have much training time with heavy overseas trip coming up. I'll have to do one SLD on alternate week and perhaps >10km type of run mid week. I need to do up my training schedule for Singapore Standard Chartered Marathon 2007 (2nd Dec 2007).

I'll have to take a nap, feeling the effect of the flu.

Right knee still feels kind of weird, a bit of nagging feeling but not painful - yet.

I'm going to ECP tomorrow hoping to run 18-20k, I'll be driving and pick up Dasher and Ripley along the way.

CBD run (11th Sep 07)

Last week my total mileage was 24km, a bit slack and didn't do any SLD (slow long distance).

Tuesday (11 Sep) I went to the CBD run. Arrived early and grab a 600ml of water. Its run to Mount Faber and I plan to only do one loop (1.6km) on Mount Faber. Total distance done is 13km. Right knee feels the strain so I'll have to stay off running till maybe Thursday (13 Sep).

I plan to join some runners (TriFam pacer training) and Ripley on this Saturdayat ECP (6:30am start) to do 20km SLD.

Long time no post - lazy

I've done the Singapore Bay Run 07. First time racing as a Veteran (I did the Duathlon 07 but I've to be classified as 30-39 because they use 1st Jan 07 to calculate age). Did the same timing as my KL 06 half marathon. I didn't have motivation to push forward after the 10km mark. Fortunately, I saw Taz along the way and tag along and he "encouraged" me.

11 weeks to go before SCSM07. Just in case I've to travel during that period, I've booked a slot on Bangkok Marathon (18th Nov 07).
