Last 10km

This could be my last 10km before the Sundown Ultra. I can't believe it's happening in 4 days' time. 100km. Road, tarmac. Eeeeks. I must have been unconscious or deluded when I signed up last year.

I was late tonight, as usual. Ran by myself around the 10km MF loop. Managed to catch the guys in time for dinner.

Tired.

Backlog of Runs

Oh my! It has been more than a week since my last blog posts. The schedule has been crazy, I barely had time to run and certainly no bandwidth to blog about them either. :(

I think I ran pretty much the same route each time.

Last Tues - Labrador Park loops x 7, each about 9min
Wed and Thurs - Telok Blangah - Henderson 5.3km loop x 2

Sat - 1h loop around estate
Sun - 1:18h loop around estate

Shudders at the thought of looming 100km when 10km was a struggle. :(

Canterbury Loops

Didn't join the Safra route today as I was late. Ran with Alber into Canterbury and we did 3 loops at conversational pace. Average 20min per loop of 3ish-km each. Total run time: 1:35h. Enough to earn my dinner.

Looking forward to the weekend trip with my IM kakis. Finally, an endurance trip of a different sort. No power gels, no bikes, no runners. Just pure city decadence!

Telok Blangah Loop

Legs felt like lead today. Attempted a 10km route - two loops around T.Blangah Heights. Plodded along, about 33min per loop. 10km felt like 50km. Groan.

Running round the MF 山

Loop and loop, revisited MF again.

6x MF loops. On average 10:++ min per loop.

Nice & chill. :)

Back to Swim

Back to swim class. Every time I resume swim after a short break, I get giddy from the head turning and laps. Tonight was no different. After a couple of sets, I was 'floaty'.

8x 200m
break
10 x 100m

Done.

What I Did Last Week

Post-Sundown marathon, my legs were still so jellied, I trotted a few times.

Mon - too dead to run
Tues - late meeting, no run
Wed - 2x Telok Blangah Hts 5km loop 1-ish hour
Thurs - spent 2.5h on the bus trying to get home, missed swim & did a 1:20h run around the estate
Fri - more furniture shopping
Sat - food marathon
Sun - it rained so heavily that many parts of Singapore were flooded. Managed to squeeze in an 1h run
