Missed LSD Run

I found out from Kenneth on Friday night, the Nilai Half Marathon had been postponed to 27 March 2005. Felt kind of dissapointed as I had hoped it would be a trial race for KLIM.

I had to give the planned LSD run on the weekend a miss. My right knee had been sore for most of the week. I decided not to risk injury and instead :-

Saturday evening - ran about 6 km+ around the housing estates with three Klang Pacer runners. It was hot and we completed the run in 32 min. 45 seconds.

Sunday evening - I was planning to run in the stadium but there was a school sports meet. So I drove to Tasik Shah Alam. It was not a good time to run as the whole place was crowded. There were lots of people walking or crossing the jogging track. It was a hassle and difficult to run at constant pace. I ended up running a fartlek of sorts; 1.6 km , walk, run 800 m, walk, run 800 m etc. Completed about 8 km but it was an unsatisfying run due to the crowded conditions.

Sometime this weekday I plan to do an LSD at KLCC park, maybe 12 x 1.3 km.
