Tuesday Delight

I was late to come out of the house. Think and think, decide to skip the swim this morning.

I make a point that today going to be another mini step forward. I going for workout during lunch time!

I remember going passed the pool last week to top up the stored value card and realise how empty the pool is during noon time, so today i head over there to test "water".

Firstly, pool was not empty! There are quite a few swimmers there. The crowd is much younger than the retirees in the morning though. More youngsters doing their swim. And i count about 5 bikinis sun tanning with a handful of hunks doing likewise. Those that are swimming are young and fit. There are a few speed monsters, that are even faster than the morning group! Gosh..i was overtaken at lightning speed!

I did a mixture of both strokes just to keep the body warm up. Testing "water" lah...so take it easy to see how the system works so that i am better prepared next time.

Completed 1.5km in 41mins. I have this feeling, i did extra. Nevermind that is sufficient for my afternoon delights. But...HR went up! No wonder the last couple fo laps feel abit "fast".

This will be the start of the many afternoon workouts for the days to come.

This evening is an easy run as we taper for AHM this weekend.

My shins are showing sign of ache which is not a good sign. I don't know why.

With the new Nike shoe, we head off slightly after 7pm. The shoe is heavy! Damn. Feel the shoe is too big and wanting to slip off. I guess i have to tie the laces harder next time.

It was a decent pace run. At times can feel the pace is slightly fast. Or maybe i am tired thus feeling slow and abit chuan.

Slow and steady manage to finish the run in 59min++. On a 8.3km distance. I hope i can maintain this pace for AHM...can i?

It is a nice delightful Tuesday. Cool :)
