Another run at ECP - 14km

Yesterday was our 2nd 14km run, turnout was juz as good, met at ECP carpark F2 supposing at 7pm... As the old naval tradition, last man arrived at 7.50pm...
We had a couple of guests - Pinto, my ex-chief who, i remembered was the size of Moses/Patson bout 4 years ago, but now, he's super fit, completes full marathon in 4Hr30min... incredible... someone to look up to. Songboon - My ex NSF WCS... spotting bright colored hair now, came and join us juz to met up with us i guess... didn't really run much....

As soon as everyone arrives, we kicked off the run, this time however, some of the guys had a choice of turning back at the 5km mark, which makes it a 10km run, after feedback from them during the previous 14km that the distance was to long for them.

This time round, the run seems long, maybe its because i had ran this route a several times liao... so abit boring, could memorize all the landmarks... distance of certain stretches... muz plan new route next time... Had not really ran since the 20km with muzhong, this run didn't seem as comfortable as previously, but i took care of knees to make sure i dun push them so hard. They didn't hurt this time compared to the previous one. Gotta clock a couple more 14km and 20km runs, once comfortable can break through the 20km mark... haha... looking forward when it comes...

Running long distance really takes time to recover, after last night, this morning at gym, strength was compromised... think really haven recover fast enough. Couldn't pump as much as b4... argh.
