To be honest, I have not done much running since I got injured and that is almost 8 months ago. Still run once a while just to keep myself in a little bit of shape. My foot seems to be getting better, doesn't hurt as much as it used to, but am taking it light and easy!
I will join in a few runs just to get myself back into racing mentality, but it's mainly to gain race fitness. I'm still far away from full fitness but I am doing at least 2 runs a week. OK, I know it's far away from my used-to-be 6 days a week training, but at least I'm trying to get back. It's a long road though. Can't even maintain a 4:30 pace for too long right now.
Well now, what have I got in store in the coming weeks?
1. 02 Oct - Adidas King of The Road (16.8km)
2. 30 Oct - PJ Half Marathon (21.1km)
3. 20 Nov - Allianz Penang Bridge International Marathon (21.1km)
Well this one is kind of a last minute event. I hated running Penang Bridge but a free entrance and lots of friends heading there equals to fun!
4. 27 Nov - Park City Run (10km)
5. 18 Dec - Malakoff Run (12km)
That's a lot of races I've got myself into! Paid a hefty fee for it too. Long gone the days where runs used to be RM10-20! I'll take this as part of my training runs, my LSD! Ok....it's not really long for some, but it is for me now.
Dutamas Runners gang has gone places, participated in many races in recent months and in the upcoming races too! This weekend, there will be a few runners doing their virgin full marathon, i.e. Yvonne & Bin, the running couple. Some will be heading for Siemens, while some Pudu Charity Run. There could be some doing the OCBC bike ride. As for me, I'll be doing my Not So Long Slow Distance.....
