This Week's Running Update

This update covers the period from Monday to Friday.

It has been fairly good week of running for me. On Monday it was a rest day from Sunday's 21 km long run. I ran from Tuesday to Friday,4 days in an row. This week was somewhat unusual as I had the urge to run fast.

Tuesday
It started on Tuesday when I ran with Gan. Gan was doing his power walk and I jogged along for 2 laps (2.6 kim) . After a while. Gan said he would join me for a run. And what a run it was. Uphill, we sprinted and downhill we ran slower for recovery. It was hard going but totally fun and exhilarating. We did 3 laps (3.9 km) of normal and hard interval runs. After finishing the run. I walked another 2.6 km to get the adrenaline of the system.

Distance = 6.5 km. 2 fast laps.

Wednesday
The regular gathering of runners at KLCC. I ran for 7.8 km. The first 4 laps (5.2 km), I ran with the regulars like Newton, Yong, Kenneth. On my own, I did 2 laps at faster pace. Felt pretty good . Even managed to overtake Li Sar but only for a while. She overtook me later.

Distance = 6.5 km. 2 fast laps

Thursday
After putting in 2 days of speed work sessions, I wanted to run easy at KLCC. So I ran with Jamie and Newton at KLCC for 4 laps (3.9 km). After my 3rd lap, Jamie stopped then Netwon too stopped at the 4th lap. BY then Sam was running with us , so I continued running with him for 3 laps.

We ran each subsequent lap faster than the one before. A crazy to do for my easy day.

Distance - 7.8 km

Friday
esterday was supposed to be rest day but the weather was so good. Too tempting so at 5.50 pm, I was at KLCC again for the 4th consecutive day.

I ran with Newton, Li Sar and Loong at a really easy pace of 8 min per 1.3 km.

Collected bibs for the Asthma run from Ronnnie.

Ran 7.8 km. After we finished. as Ronnie, Newton, Li Sar and me chatted , Justine showed up at 7.00 pm.
I think he was a bit dissapointed that we had all finished our runs.

Total distance = 6.5 + 6.5 + 7.8 + 7.8 km = 29.6 km.
