The trauma of the HK100 race was followed immediately by a long work trip. My feet were swollen on the flight to Canada due to water retention and the soreness from the race. My body was not in the mood for more runs in Ottawa. The sub-zero temperature and early morning conferences reinforced the idea that I should rest and take a break for a week. :)
So here I am, back in hot-wave Singapore. Had my first run in 8-9 days (spent in a blurring mix of flights and airport transits). Headed for the trail this morning in my old Asics shoes. Recently, I had been digging out all my old trail shoes and testing which ones were still usable, at least for short morning runs. Last test of my other Salomon pair gave me arch pain before the HK100 event. Horrors!
This morning, the Asics worked ok, except that its glue was weakening and it might fall apart. Ran my usual 1:20h loop around DF and ZH. Legs were fresh and I was about 2min faster than my typical timing.
Tomorrow morning I will try again, this time with my old North Face shoes. I will need a constant supply of trail shoes if I keep wearing them out on the runs. :)
