Blocks

Good weather for the run this morning. I reached Kallang 4:50am. Too Kang(rare appearance), Buay, Tham Jiak, Baby, Babyboy have arrived. Shortly Pig face and CCF came down in a cab. Tao overslept! She started later on her own.

Today is a 27km running at marathon pace. We started off in good pace, not much chit chatting as we go at individual pace. It was a good pace i feel, as i lead them till Kim Seng(that is 20km later).

Along the way we have our traditional tactical breaks and experience a few road blocks! Kallang - Esplanade, Clark Quay to name a few. Quite a few places we ran past are under construction and there are few road diversions.

Before we reached Kim Seng, i can feel the stress on my right kneecap. It is getting a bit serious. I don't know why i can't find my knee guard this morning, thus didn't bring along. Sigh. so have to bear with it.

Reaching the break point at Kim Seng, Too kang mention about my CWX pant kneecap position is slightly shifted, and i agreed with it and adjusted and instantly feel much better on the knee! Just to be on the safe side, i signal to too kang and pig face to move ahead after the break as i need to slow down and not put too much stress on the knee with the event coming up just round the corner.

Managed to team up with Tham Jiak and CCF on the return route along Boat Quay. Decide to run together. Maybe it is the sun, or something else. Maybe slowed down the pace leow, feel lethargic to pick it up again. Seem that the other 2 too also face some ache and pain at certain areas as well. So 3 too slowly make our way back to Kallang.

The last 4 km, i pick up the pace again(feeling good) and cruise back to the end in 3:24hr(including the breaks).

It was a good run in race pace. Felt comfortable throughout the major part of the run. The only disappointment is the kneecap matter. I hope it will not hamper the event coming up. Finger crossed.

After washing up, sat down TCSS, realised my kneecap is slightly bruised! OMG, it feel similar to the last time i ran in Kallang! Same cwx pant, similar bang on the knee? Hmm...the link?
