Part 1 - 13th Oct 07

Out of nowhere, I dread of weekend. That's bad! The last time i face this was kind of feeling is way back whereby i start to train for my first 42km. It was plain mental, not to mention about the physical stress. Waking up early or after office hours, clocking mileage for LSD. It was just ME. The motivation was waning, distance wasn't great and i had to find excuse not to run!

Similarly, LSD on bike i am facing same kind of feeling/environment. It is like history repeating itself. It is very bad. What can i do? I have folks that jio me to cycle together. But i don't dare to. I am way too slow. Who want to ride with someone that clock average 20-22km/hr! It is wasting their training effort, slowing them down and i don't want to do that. A few week back piglet was cycling with 2 friends whereby i puncture my tire on coastal road, she mention her friend is on cannondale MTB and is doing 28km/hr. It was very demoralising to hear that. Me, 22km/hr, sigh.

One reason, is the restriction that sweetheart has imposed on myself. I am not allow to purchase my own bike. Without a proper road/tri bike, i can't train properly and borrowing a MTB isn't an ideal case.

Another reason, is that i do not wish to borrow a road/tri bike from friends or kaki. I know bike to them is as precious as car. Who want to loan you his car for training? Week in week out moreover!

I am frustrated to say the least. I don't like the situation. What can i do? Every household has its own problem. Sigh.

Cheechongfan, ba kwa, babytoo, babyboy too, ms piggy, too tao, seo too & too buay ran from kallang this morning. 9 of us start the run, 10 of us arrived at the end! The last one is who?

It was a run that was a bit scary for me as both my kneecaps shown signs of imminent injury. Alas i only have 1 kneeguard with me so i can only support one of the knee! Sigh....i hope not much damage to the other knee!

Breathing is okay, legs are feeling good, except for the kneecaps. I enjoy the run nevertheless , good accompany and pace. Completed 34.2km(based on Ba Kwa footpad) or 35km(seo too footpad) in 4:19hr.

Tao knee seems CMI and need some special treatment. If only she can stop doing racket game during weekdays which are bound to have impact on the knee!

Babyboy too tummy isn't doing good so didn't run with us much.

Seo too, our resident commando got kill during the 500meters++ by ba kwa. Need more training.

The rest did pretty okay.

Till next week, enjoy your weekends.
