Sheares Bridge $ Army Half Marathon Pre

Ok. Did a few races over the last 2 weeks, but didnt do any LSD. I think should be okay lah for the Half Marathon this weekend. Nevertheless the mind isnt at rest, maybe giving myself abit of pressure to run faster and meet certain timing. I guess if it is an ordinary run, i won't feel the "stress" now.

Last years, i ran a few races, apart from Tuas 2nd link run, the rest of the run, i enjoyed it. Maybe the expectation is not there and i just run without time constraint that is why i enjoy those runs. Tuas 2nd link is different from the rest, because i ran a bit too fast, not intentionally, but enough for me to feel uneasy with the pace. I ran under 50mins for 10km(though slightly short).

I try to focus on laps speedwork and try to improve the timing for the last couple of months rather than LSD. 21km is a LSD and if i cant pulled back from going too fast in the front, i afraid i gonna get burnt. Just like New Balance Real Run, i was burnt. Thinking of burning, i will gonna run slow, but not when the heat of moment, you lost track of what is happening.

Monday i was on vacation leave. Woke up at 6am, wanna go MR for a run(LSD). My heart telling me to continue sleeping, the mind telling me to find execuses not to go. Finally i managed to find a few excuses and stayed in bed. I woke up finally and keep asking myself why do i do it? So ill discipline..

Will i get burnt? Time will tell....;)
