Managed to run consistently for 23km, then Jo called me and I couldn't restart afterwards. Pain was too much, hurts everywhere, left little toe, ankles, knees, even my sides were aching. I walked the remaining 6km back to F2 carpark, with growing self-disgust.... The views though are fantastic, I finally had to stop by a breakwater, to stare at our shipping lane horizon. Very pretty, in a very Singaporean sense. By the time I was done and out of East Coast Park, it was noon - I had started running at 7:30am.
My running speed is quite consistent ~7:40min/km but it's slow, I need to push it to under 7mins/km, in order to finish under 5 hours. Hmmm...
Running our usual cycle route was a great idea. Nice and straight, no need for a gazillion laps nor any traffic lights. Was enjoyable other than the mid morning heat.
Post run calves aches are killing me though. All stairs are subjected to cursing as I navigate them with the same trepidation as Zi inching down dirt trails. I wonder if I should join the professionals and get those compression calf guards. Hey if it's good enough for Paula Radcliff, it's good enough for me!
