Finally ran November 24, 2005
Posted by clayton in : workout , trackbackI did the least that I said I'll do, a 10km…and the weather was awful. Windy, rainy and COLD!!! The temp was 21C but the rain and wind that came with it made me feel like I was one step away from freezing. I felt like stopping at 2.5km but I didn't wanna come back out because it's obviously gonna rain more later, so I dragged myself.
The run: More like a jog today, couldn't stand the coldness!!! It's one of those days where you just wanna stay in bed (oh, how warm!!!) and spend the day. I didn't really feel like I was warmed up after the first lap and went into the second lap where I gotta cramp (ouch!!!) in the stomach for some reason. Into the 3rd lap, I didn't bring my pace back up because…Well, I was scared of getting another cramp. The fourth lap, I took the first 1km at the same pace as every other lap and gave it my best shot on the home stretch. My lap times: 1st 11:28, 2nd 12:20, 3rd 11:21, 4th 10:34. It's the slowest 10km this month but I'm satisfied with my 4th lap. I switched to long strides at the home stretch and I guess it worked. By the way, I was still cold right after the run…
Other than the run, not much happened. I studied, studied and did a little bit of bike maintenance. Suprised by the 2-3years worth of dirt I had on my mtb, never really cleaned anything other than the tires before.
Tomorrow: I'd love to have a 16km run and then study but I'll see how things go. I have to go to a theater and watch some cultural dances, and the theater, it's 15km away from home. Most likely, I'm taking my mtb to go there and it'll take time to get back home. I'd love to take the bus if the weather looks bad.
