Buona Vista
As usual we gathered at the lobby n Dear briefed us on today's route. We will be running Club-Deport Rd-Alexandra-Portsdown-Bouna Vista-Commonwealth-Queenstown-Alexandra-Depot RD-Club. My breathing was heavy.. I was panting from the start to Queensway.. I slowed down my pace as I ran in to Portsdown.. trying to recover..
Once out to Buona Vista mrt, I increased my pace slightly... as I passed Dennis at Commonwealth, I sped up.. cos scare tt he will stick close to me.. We stopped at the Queenstown traffic junction and saw a familiar figure at the opposite side.. It's Jimmy! haha he was doing his own run.. and told us tt he saw Derrick earlier on.. we talked abt my wedding preps n my breathing started to get heavy again.. soon we reached his home and I cont'd on towards Alexandra..
I started to feel weak n tired as I ran towards the Queensway SC.. managed to crossed the QWSC junction in time.. Adam, PS, Wong, Thomas, Leh Lio were also there. I had a few bad coughout and crossed the 2nd traffic.. something seems to be wrong as I past the OCBC bank.. my head was spinning n I felt very giddy. could feel the lack of blood flow.. and my head was like very empty... I quickly stopped and pinch my temple n pressed down hard above my upper lips.. continuing pressing both areas as I walked past the overhead bridge.. I tried to run on.. but I can't n stop after 50m... Cm n Yean came by.. Cm asked me wat happened n suggested tt we take a cab back.. I told Cm it's ok.. I needed to recover 1st.. maybe can run back after a while.. he dun allow.. scared tt I will faint midway.. we slowly walked towards Depot rd n Uncle Lim also joined us... he was suffering from leg pain.. Cm saw a cab coming out of Gillman's place n quickly hopped in.. hahaha.. his action very fast.. quite paisei tt we had to take a cab back cos it just 2km away.. I still feel weak after the run.. really hope I will be fit enuff to do my AHM.. :(

the air was quite bad, and I think it might have affected you... I felt very exhausted by the bad air and fumes coming from the cars too..
Take some rest, and you should be good for AHM..:)

For my view, you had been constantly having the giddy state. You never do proper preparations before the run - what to eat/drink, warm-up etc.
During the run, u will have to focus on yr run. Your mind instructs your muscles to start working or relaxing. Your mind orchestrates the perfect run, starting out slowly, finding the perfect tempo - the key word.
