Tapering - Hong Kong Marathon

The weekend before Hong Kong Marathon. Relieve or what? Relieve - is that no LSD for the weekend. What - injury normally crept in, doubt cast over the horizon. Questions after questions are firing and not much answer given.

Back of right ankle continue to bother me. Could it be the socks? or could it be injury? Calfs are tight! What happens? DOM from Thursday TT? Ran too fast for today run, despite telling myself to run at Marathon pace leow ! Can i run the pace as intended come next Sunday?

I have this feeling that i am in some sort of transformation at this moment. The body is adapting to the new pace, current LSD is not able to sustain the pace. That could be the reason i am struggling for the last few LSD!

Heeshen, Piglet, Ms Piggy, Wensze, Joanna, Ronnie, Bee, Roonz & Sotong joined me for the run. All of us did 14km, except for Ronnie which did 36km. Meet up with Dreamrunner, DO, Realrunner, Cookie & Brokenrunner during the run. Wee(Today reporter), Alvo and Metero were spotted there as well.

I ran too fast for the first 7km and did a slow 7km back. A bit struggling on the 2nd half which does not do well for confidence just a week prior to Hong Kong Marathon!
