after resting and eating the whole day yesterday, i came back to training with a vengeance today.
swam 3.8km in the afternoon when there was nothing to do in base. i was still aching so my timings were horrible, so i took it as an easy way to do high mileage swimming
ate somemore. when onboard ship and there is nothing to do. u just feel like eating.
go home at 8 plus. there wasnt anyone to train with in school today so i got a lift home with comms o. i was pretty determined that i would run tonight, cause i felt like it.
when i reached home, i realised that i didnt bring my keys out!!! AHHHH!!! called dad, who said he'll be back in a while. after a good 40 mins later i got the keys from him and i could get back into the house.
by 2122, i was out of the house. i felt really really good and i just kept running. i didnt have a planned route and i kinda winged it. so i ran towards coastal, and just kept going and going. in the dark. i was the only runner at coastal tonight, and it was pretty cooling, so i just kept at it.
it was really fun, and i got to focus on my running form to try and improve my running economy. on the way back i bumped into these 3 kids who were obviously lost. i guided them on some options on how they could get back to seng kang. funny, how they actually ended up in the middle of the road. so poor things as well.
after 2 hours of running, i finally got home. and i felt really good. 24.5km in 2 hours. not bad. this was my sundown marathon pace. and although i felt a bit of aches here and there, i was quite happy with the run, just something i really needed to get out of my system. yay! (even though i came back at 2325) 4min 48 s /km.
along the way, i just could not help but thank God for giving me this joy i get when i run. shiokness-saurus rex.
ok gotta go zZz... gotta wake in 4 hrs time to get to work! o the things i sacrifice for training!
