Hamstring Muscle Strain

Today is Sunday - I was planning a long run at Tasik Perdana at Shah Alam. Even managed to wake up at 6.00 am but just felt sleepy and went back to sleep. A second minor reason for not doing the LSD was my left hamstring has just recovered from strain.

On Friday evening, I managed to run 6 laps at KLCC park, distance 7. 8 km. Affer the run, I was limping slightly due to an aggravated hamstring strain. Two days rest have done the trick - it is almost OK. Don't want to ruin next week's training due to a repeating injury.

Last night I called Asia Hotel in Singapore to check my booking for the Singapore marathon. To my surprise they did not have my booking. I booked through their hotel website and had an e-mail confirmation. So they rebook the room again. The rate was slightly cheaper for a me (Malaysian passport), SGD 85 compared to SGD 100 via the Internet, so I forgave them.

Next week's training plan is to 3 days x 7.8 km, 1 x 6.5 km and 1 x 5.2 km. Saturday = rest. Sunday - Siemens charity run at Dataran Merdeka 10.7 km
