Stress LSD

The run suppose to start at 6pm, but due to unforeseen circumstance we get started at 10pm.

ECP is still as "busy" at this late time. Tonight they are joined by 8 more crazy folks.

I have been resting and hoping that the extra space will allow my right calf to heal. Alas it is not to be. Sigh. No matter what at least i have to try.

Lionel, Wei Ming, Terence, Ray, Clare, Waterboy, uncle jimmy and myself heading off towards Coastal road. After a few hundreds meter of stress less...the calf starts to show his signs that all is not well.

Slowly tailing behind the group, i just press on and hope that the calf will "recover" itself along the way. My mind is split whether i should proceed or call it a day. I have not been working out in a regular fashion for quite a while and i don't like the thoughts that i have to stop so fast after just starting the run. Fortunately the pace is pretty slow and i can keep the group not far out of my reached.

The mind keep playing "devils" with me...and i try to resist it as much as possible. Ok...Joanna & Co will provide the first support at Firestation...which is around 7-8km. I guess it will be a good benchmark to U-turn and clock around 15km for this run. Given the circumstance, i guess it is better than nothing and not too short a distance. Alas, when i reached the schedule Pitt stop, the support crew has not arrive yet. *heart broken*.

Running with a stressful calf isn't a good signs with the event coming up later in the month. Though i can still endure, but i doubt i want to proceed to the first toilet at Changi Point and risk walking all the way back. Decide to u-turn early, while the rest proceed.

Phew, since i am alone now i decide to walk. No group to follow...just myself doing walk(more) than run on the route back. Felt fortunate that i decide to u-turn early and can feel the leg are indeed pretty stressed.

Slow and eventually complete the run within 2:30hr. At least a run, though not a long one. Time for rest.
