Did not run for about more than 2 months. A combination of a new job posting and lack of discipline meant that I was not able to keep even remotely close to my new year resolutions which include running every third day.
Started running again about 2 weeks ago :
First run 11 Jun 07 - Run-walk 3km (Home-Yishun MRT-Chong Pang CC-Home). Injuries to right ankle appeared to have caught up with me, resulting in first a numb pain around ankle before cramps start to set in around the right shin.
2nd run 15 Jun 07 - Same as above.
3rd run 19 Jun 07 - Run-Walk 5km (Home-Khatib Camp-Sembawang Airbase-Yishun Stadium-Khatib MRT-Home). Still having same problem but felt slight improvement as the cramps set in later than previous runs.
4th run 22 Jun 07 - 30 mins treadmill @ Pan Pacific. Felt good although felt numbling pain in right ankle at end of run.
5th run 26 Jun 07 - 20 mins treadmill @ Office before rushing home. Felt ok but cramps set in when driving home and it was quite an uncomfortable for about 5 minutes.
Total - about 18km
Signed up for the 100 Plus Saucony Passion Run on 8 Jul 07. Registration was closed for the 10km and only managed to sign up for the 5km. On hindsight, 5km was probably the better choice. Also signed up for the Mizuno Wave 10 km run on 22 Jul with Kev & Pat. Need to train for the next 3 weeks to be ready for the run.
Still targetting for the Singapore Bay AHM & the big one personally - the Standard Chartered Marathon. Would need a lot of self discipline :-)
