Hi Guys,
Sometimes good advise is hard to come by and in this particular case,it did work for me. It was Tuesday, 1st Feb (city day) and since itwas a public holiday, I spent some time over at my wife's spa (locatedbehind Yow Chuan Plaza. 41 Jalan Damai) and brought along my gear torun @ KLCC in the evening. I thought that would be a good day to runcoz there won't be many around and I can 'secretly' train. I ran butencountered some problems and took breaks and of all people I metRonnie (PM1) and Mrs. PM1. I was caught in the act of 'secrettraining'. SHIT! KNN! cover blown. I told him my problem and he toldme do some stretches but it did not help either. Anyway, I continuedrunning and finished 8 laps and did some stretching. Ronnie hadfinished his run and joined my. During this time was when Ronnie toldme that in order to improve, I should do some speed work, errr likethe best of 5 laps.
Well, the thought was lingering and bugging me da whole week. I ranyesterday but I was too damn hot. IT WAS BRUTAL! I was drenched withsweat and worst still, my inner thighs (below lampah chee area) chafedbadly.
Today was different. I wanted to run but the weather looked like itwas gonna rain. I told myself "screw it, no matter what you must run".I changed, applied Bodyglide on my 'injured' area and hit da park. Istarted off smooth and felt stronger as I went along and I thought tomyself, "why not tekan a abit". Well, the results speaks for itself.Its been a while since I ran so hard but I'm happy to see the results.Ronnie, thanx for that little push which had great results.
Timing
Lap 1 = 7:49.67
Lap 2 = 7:53.12
Lap 3 = 7:39.65
Lap 4 = 7:21.76
Lap 5 = 6:58.98
Lap 6 = 6:58.87
Lap 7 = 7:02.09
Lap 8 = 6:48.85
Total = 58:32.99
p.s. The funny thing was, I wore the same attire (head to toe) as Idid when I PR-ed in S'pore.
Rgds,
