Warming up

After last evening dismay DNS, no choice have to rework the schedule to include a run today. Entire week to date, the mileage is 6km!

Head to office early, start the run at 6:30am towards Pandan canal. It has been a very long time since i am back at the place. Aiyoh, mind keep wondering back to the days whereby this is my playground for Interval.

Intent is to do 4 sets of 2km this morning. Maybe go at Interval pace, but of course have to see how the body react to it.

It was a cooling warm up run to the starting point. Shiok. 1st of 2km try to push alittle bit, don't want to too chuan(at the same time) and the result 11:11 mins. Hmm... Body like doesn't want to get out of the gear. Well nevermind, it is not the end of the world. 2nd set go at mid range pace to try and find what is the current comfortable pace(not to slack/not to chuan), time 11:34 mins. 3rd set cruise along and see how the body react. Time 11:38 mins. Last set just go easy and get into the groove, time 11:35 mins.

That is about 5:50 mins pace. Hmm...feeling good and engine is warm up nicely. Given the circumstance, i think targeting 6 min for 42km should be a good gauge.

Jog back to office, put up the barang barang and head to the gym. Run distance estimate 9.5km

Didn't wash up, but instead zip up the wet suit. After yesterday conversation with P, he mention to me that i be better off with vaseline since i find the wet suit tight and difficult to strip. Such advice, must try lah...at least before i leave for Aussie.

Smear vaseline on all the "moving" parts of the body and dress up the suit. It is okay lah. Head into the water and realise that i forget to bring my goggles! OMG, sian half. Don't want to waste the golden opportunity, so no choice but to swim with contact lens! Anyway it is not the first time leow, should be okay.

I find the swim this morning much better than yesterday, maybe the body had adjusted to the suit, or maybe it is the vaseline that is making it easy to swim. Either way. i feel so much comfortable in the water today. 20 mins of trying out, before getting out of the pool(Not enough time). It was a breeze stripping the suit. Mechiam like peeling the shelf of a hardboiled egg. Sometimes i peel, the whole piece come out, sometime, peel until like beehive, really CMI. Today was one whole piece :p

A good workout this morning. Gool.

Head for a weight session during noon time. It was an okay session, just on maintenance mode.

This is the last few sessions at Fitness Plus. Pretty sad to think about leaving the place where i started off. I guess the feeling is going to grow strong over the next few days. :(
