long 11km

Simply had the urge to run today and today seemed the only day this week to permit a long run.
Everyone else can't seem to make it, siswi, paul, mingkiat, aston, roy, leonard all occupied with work or otherwise. But my urge is strong and shall not be wavered. SO i FORCED OMP to run... HAHAHA.

We started the run at 1900H sharp, set our pace and started off... all was well till we came junction and turn left to the Village center and hit the '99 bends', This is where the beginning of the tough part came in... from this point till home was like 65% gentle and long upslope, 25% downslope (which we couldn't take advantage of due to abused kneecaps) and the last 10% of flats...

This route seemed endless, even the hardy OMP was commenting that we seemed to ran for ages, "how far more"... As we ran, my mind started wandering towards all the negative running events that i've done, like the RSN 800m (couldn't warm down after that run), Interval running training cheepeng, don and melvin (i HATE interval training, at the track summore). All that came to my mind were discouraging thoughts... haha. But no, no giving up allowed. Not even the thought of it.

After the run, it was immediate aching cuffs, thighs and painful kneecaps. But it was gd training. I will run this track again juz to bring paul, siswi, mingkiat to experience it. Especially Mr Paul... keep requesting to up level rite.... try this !!

Distance: 11km
Time completed: 1hr 06 mins



juz the 2 of us ....
