Was quite tied up with work, family commitments and the need to zz..zzz..zzzz the last few days.
Wanted to but was not disciplined enough to get up and go for a run until Thu (8 Feb). Originally thought of going for a 5km run (loop from home to Sembawang Camp & back). Was then tempted to reduce the run to a 15-20 mins run as the left knee was slightly painful. It felt better after about 5 mins and I decided to 'lets carry on and see how'. Felt better as I continued running and instead of u-turning when I reached Sembawang Camp, took a left turn and headed towards the junction of Yishun Stadium-Seletar Reservoir. The whole run (about 6km) felt good, reinforcing my belief that sometimes how one feel b4 the run may not be an accurate indicator of how the run will go.
Decided to go for one more run on Sat (10 Feb). Can't go for >3km as I have a football match the next morning. Did my usual 3km loop. Even though it was shorter then the run on Thursday, the earlier run actually felt easier ! Why ??? Too tired ???
The match on Sunday was at Bendemeer Sec Sch. Pitch looks great from outside, even had a small stand. However, it was incrediblely hard and dry. Sole of both feet never felt so tired :-(
Was supposed to run on Wednesday or Thursday but a combination of sore feet and plain laziness meant that I missed my run. Finally managed to find time on Sat (Eve of LNY) afternoon. Audrey was asleep, the missus was on the PC playing Maple Story while Ashley wanted to go downstairs to cycle.
Took Ashley to the Community Park and managed to do 6 rounds of the 500m jogging path. It was 5pm plus but it was hot and the run was not exactly easy. Nevertheless, any run is better than none at all :-)
