3x MF Loops. 1st set fast, nice to have that panting gasping pain for a short burst. Reached the cafe and needed a toilet break. 2nd set slowed a little, had a slight stomach ache. 3rd set slowest, left knee slight pain, right knee tight. I think did not fully recover from pull during Ultra, and strained it again during Duathlon. Thighs felt tight too from the lifting on upslope. Speed was indeed an alien concept to me now.
Proceeded down Morse Road and Harbourfront. Did an unplanned "interval" series of short dashes and slow jogs. Dashed to pump up my lungs, stopped when I could feel the knee "off". Repeated countless times, and finally made it back to club. Not pushing those beloved knees. Mental scare image of knee "popped" kept me in my place obediently. Religiously stretched.
We received our new running jerseys and many wore it on the run. The Nike jerseys sponsored by Alan Chao were spiffy and the group looked neat (and fierce!) going up MF. Would be a sight to behold if we all went for the VGO MF run and showed up in the same gear! The guys' jersey was orange and dark blue, with words printed in white. The design of the ladies' jersey comprised 4 sections of cloth sewn together (as opposed to the usual 2 sections) -- 2 main sections (front & back), and 2 side strips. I looked at the mirror and felt like a 3-fold tulip. Hmm.... But in comparison, the ladies' version was much nicer. A sweet lilac with seams in a darker purple shade, and words printed in black. I'm biased of course, because the jersey matched my Asics shoes. :)

I thought the guys' colour were black? Yeah, I like the colour of the ladies' tops as well. There is a matching lilac/violet coloured cap (the one some ladies got for Sundown)to match the whole set :)
