11 Days Too Little To The SAFRA Singapore Bay Run and Army Half Marathon 2009
Without sounding like a drama queen who has been denied to eat her favourite McDonald’s Seaweed Shaker Fries…
I am so dead. I am so DEAD. I AM SO DEAD. I AM SOOOOOO DEADDDD!!!!!!!!!
Ok. Fine. That really sounded like a drama queen who has been denied to eat her favourite Shaker Fries.
My running routine was interrupted by a bout of flu some time back and I had to steer clear of my jogging shoes while I recovered from the nasty bugs for 3 whole weeks.
Not only did I miss at least 90km of training but after trying to run again after the 3 week long break, I realized my mind, body and heart were so much weaker and I could not go back to the same intensity I was training prior to the flu. I should be hitting 22km for my long run this weak but instead, I have only managed to run a furthest distance of 12km so far.
With the Army Half Marathon only 11 days away, I am in serious deep shit.
I have thoughts about forgoing the 21km race next Sunday and concentrate on the year end’s Standard Chartered Marathon instead but I find it such a pity to not run when I have paid up and actually asked friends to join me for the run.
So I am probably going to generously adjust my pace so that I run as fast as a Shaker Fries deprived drama queen to make sure I am slow enough to finish the run.
I am so dead.
