bestial base training

woke up this morning and headed off to CNB to get my posting. i'm going back to valour! yay! work officially starts tomorrow.

did intervals on the trainer. 1 min all out sprint my ass off, 1 min rest, times 10 sets.

then headed off to school, and detoured to provence along the way to buy cinnamon buns for lala and mich, who i'll see later at the track.

went off for a long run, 21.5km. pandan loop, turned right when i was back at the passione junction outside school, headed down pasir panjang road, turned right down south buona vista road and down NUH and to the track.

along the way i saw zheng hong running, and mok, who for the first time was walking. turns out he did like what, 20 loops? of mount faber. madness. he was so tired so he was walking. wow. first time i see a shed of humanity in him.

i made a mistake for the run. i did not plan any hydration along the way, so much that in the middle of south buona vista i bonked, walked a little, before continuing at a much slower pace for the rest of the run. the first 15 - 16km was quite fast, i clocked about 1 hr 20 mins (rounded up) for it. it was only when i was starting to dehydrate that i had to slow. i was on the verge of seeing stars. next time must plan hydration along the way for my runs.

ended at the track, where i did 3 sets of 8 pull ups. then met lala and mich. mich had a "date" with someone for dinner, so it was down to lala and i to eat by ourselves at west coast food centre, where we bumped into mok and zhenghong there too. haha we joked that zheng hong is making his move on mok cause dinah is away in camp now, hahahahahaha....

super shag. but shiok. gonna make the 16 - 21km my standard long run dist.
