Dear n I reached club at ard 6:30am.. Jimmy, Benny, Anthony, DO, Tony, Peter, Julie, TH, PS, Alber also came.. at ard 7am, we proceed to Henderson CC where we met more of our runners.. the race was delayed.. think we started off at ard 7.45am.. Dear asked me to be careful n off he went at the front.. I was at the mid pack with PS n Alber until the Henderson industrial park.. this was more like a relax event for me.. down henderson road.. someone called out my no.. haha how come run so slow.. my reply.. relax lah.. hahaha.. caught up with Peter at Morse road n asked if he was feeling ok.. as he had stomach discomfort since sat.. i caught up with tony at the steep slope.. when i reached the pearl, i felt a sharp pain at my abdominal.. i slowed down n Benny asked if i was ok.. asked him to carry on.. i went to the void deck of TB rise n rested for a while before continuing on to finish the run... was stopped at all the traffic junction.. took me 1:05 to finish..

Mizuno 10km Trial Run

Dear planned for a 10km trial run for the Mizuno route.. We start off from Henderson route n went up MF from Morse road .. up the peak n down from Kampong Bahru.. There were multiple stops after TB rise.. and the route seem to be never ending.. Adam, Enghwa and I ran together.. when we reached Henderson industrial park, Dear n Ricci were waiting for us.. think we were the last of the group.. and they guided us into the U loop of the industrial and then back to club.. wat a run with the high humidity.. took me 1hr 9mins to complete the whole route..

Painfree LSD

I dun feel the pain on my right ankle today.. woah tt's good news.. good time to start on my Goldcoast marathon training... not sure how long I will be able to last for this LSD as I had not been doing long sun runs for a looonnng time.. but mindset tt i must do the MF part, up from Morse road..

A small group turn up today.. abt 10+ (Dear, Me, Trevor, Anthony, Derrick, Teck Hou, Julie, Aili, KK, PS, Alber, Chin Whatt). As I reached Wishart rd, I could see dear already reached the Seah Im junction.. Julie, Mak, PS and Alber did a slower pace towards Marina.. I told them if they dun see me from behind means I had U turn back.. When I reached the entrance towards Marina, did a quick calculation on the distance n knew if i go either halfway or all the way in .. it puts me off cos i confirm will not be able to go up MF.. saw Mak heading in with 2 bottles of 100plus.. told him i am heading back.. haha very tempted to buy too when i reached 7 eleven on the way back.. but din as i dunno how to carry 2 bottles of 100plus n a small bottle of nike bottle tt i had with me.. went to the Keppel coffeshop to top up a can of 100plus to my bottle instead.. hahah proves to be a wiser choice.. saw quite a no of cyclists training nowadays n greeted them Morning.. should be for the 70.3deg half ironman in sep.. lucky there was shade along Keppel rd.. as the Rays were getting stronger... told myself.. u gonna go thru the momentum of gg up.. it's ok to be slow just dun stop.. soon i found myself in the midst of the tour buses.. down kampong bahru to TB Rise.. got a bottle H2O @ the TBR provision shop n finally back to club.. my watch clocked 1:58.. estimated distance 15km.. overall felt ok.. no pain on right foot.. oni felt quite thristy along the way n took 2 water breaks to top up.. will need sometime to get back my fitness n endurance level.. but got to shed off some weight 1st.. ^o^

Queenstown Stadium

Today's training plan was changed to Thur's route due to the rain.. Woah it's been ages since i last visited Queenstown stadium.. Peter, PS and I started slightly later as we planned to wait for Shirley's hubby.. but our kind Ho offered to bring them to the stadium since he was waiting for his fren too.. PS asked abt my ankle.. tho it still hurts whenever I land on it.. but it's improving compared to last tue whereby i totally couldn't run.. Alber caught up with us as we approaches the 2nd busstop along depot road n we went on to closen the distance with Sok Hwa, Trevor n Peter ahead.. it was already quite late by the time we reached the stadium, n without further delay, dear started the session.

I managed to maintain abt 2 mins per round for the 1 mile.. taking 8:11.. 30 secs slower than my previous fitness.. for the 1st 800m, i did in 3:54.. 2nd set, halfway thru the 1st rd, my energy level went down tremendously n i couldn't move my legs further.. stopped at the 1st round at 2:02... 3rd set, jimmy offered to help dear with the time taking.. after a longer rest time.. i managed to recover n finished in 3:44.. n stop for the day to help dear with the time taking...

Dear companied me back to club.. we did a slow recovery pace to AIA and gradually increasing the pace along depot road n managed to catch up with Peter, Julie, Yuen, Bill and EH..

Labrador- MF

I started at the back of the group.. still felt slight pain on my right foot.. CM strongly advise me not to go into Labrador.. just run along depot rd-ALexandra-Telok Bangah Rd- Morse Rd- MF -TB Rise -Club.. distance about 9km .. saw Ho n his fren at the Power station alogn TB way.. n he tot i had finished the labrador part.. hahaha .. told him no lah i heading str to MF instead.. tho i haven't done MF for sometime.. i felt quite easy to go up today.. maybe due to the cool weather n slower pace.. in no time i felt i was on the downslope of Kampong Bahru part.. Ricci caught up with me at the Pearl.. expected to the the fast runners coming up soon.. i picked up my pace slightly at TB rise part.. soon heard some footsteps behind me.. it's Dear n Trevor.. Dear asked me to "jia you" .. they are like pacing one another closely.. followed by Melvin.. I maintained my pace n panted really hard by the time i reached club.. finished the run 57mins..
