Day 104: Cardio (11.09km in 49:46min)

You know what, I am such a klutz at times. Today I wanted an easy run, as I was really tired this whole week from work, but I ended up running 11 plus km today, haha.

The thing is I would usually plan my route first with mapmyrun tool which will give me a distance. Today I didn’t do that, but did a guestimate of the route in my mind.

No wonder by halfway through the run, my feet was aching. I don’t usually go beyond the 40 minute run for my mileage daily. I was already committed to the run, I might as well go through with my running route. Oh well lesson learned.

The pace today was 4:29 minute per km, better than some days in fact with shorter mileages, I was surprised. Maybe my plan to encounter as little traffic light as possible was why I ran faster.

In total I think I only stopped 3-4 times at the traffic junction. So that’s good. I would opt making a detour albeit longer, just not to encounter traffic lights today.

Also there was a part of my mileage today that became specific strength endurance, keke. There’s two encounter on a lengthy slope at Marsiling Lane near the jetty and one near Admiralty Road West at Admiralty Park.

My legs was ‘aching’ with lactic acid from the slope run-climb. Pretty much reminds me of my sprint training days at Kent Ridge NUS slopes there.

Also the monkeys at Admiralty Park I observed are getting more daring. They stationed themselves on the gravel path itself, like a toll booth. One adult monkey even tried to ’shoo’ me away. WTF. If I was any smaller, I think I would have been attacked.

I reckon it’s the public that feed these monkeys are at fault. They’re not pets, once you feed them, they’ll expect more and be aggressive for more food.

Well my feet is still aching, especially the soles of my foot. Gonna massage them now before resuming work. Toodles!
