Not a long run. it was cloudy, overcast. Some light drips from the sky towards end of run.

Covered 10.6km in 1hr 24mins, a reasonable avg pace of 7min:55secs/km pacing - close to my comfy avg of 8min/km.

22nd training (25th) run of 2011

I had a demanding tiring week and the next week would be busy. So, I only planned 10km run.

I realised I made some mistakes. I only drank just sufficient before the run start, didn't bring a bottle of water, expected to drink from the toilet next to the eating places at Punggol not far from Sg Halus Wetland. Problem was, the toilet which was betw 5km-6km was there BUT all the toilet taps were spoilt. So NO water/ hydration. Having run around 7min/km pace instead of my more comfortable 8min/km pace, I was in BIG trouble. By 8km, I was walking but my saliva was really sticky and thick, no more saliva, my muscles from hamstrings and shoulders were aching, I was dehydrating and facing muscular shutdown from lack of hydration even with mainly walking. Pity some humans were so inconsiderate to spoil every single of the 4 taps.

Completed 10.61km in 1hr 21mins - Avg 7min 38secs/km even with so much walking esp after the 7km mark. So, I was really going too fast the first 5km.

21st training (24th) run of 2011

LSD done. Started earlier at 5pm as it was cloudy afternoon.

Extended the 9km loop to Serangoon Park Connector going to Punggol Point and Lorong Halus Wetland. Interesting.

All in 15.44 km in 2 hour 9 mins. because at Lorong Halus I walked around exploring. First time there. Thus average pace all in was 8min 24min which was not bad because when jogging was going at face pace of around 7min/km or even less.

20th training (23rd) run of 2011

Sunday flying to off to Hanoi so no LSD. Decide to run on Sat morning. I though I slept before 11:30pm but then woke up 6:15am liao. Felt.......tired. My body and my mind. It had been 2 weeks of extreme rushing & pressure.

Well, it was still dark when I started at 6:45am. 7km on, I felt like throwing up. Not sure why. Stomach empty except for water I drank. Not a good sign. Anyway, with more walking, comp[leted 10.20km in the end.

Average pace recorded was7mins 28 secs for 10.2km which means I ran too fast at some spots. Probably explains why I felt like throwing up.
