Week 2 - Running

Haven't really been concentrating on my running for the last few weeks and with less than a month till the Brunei Half marathon, decided to hit the road and do more miles.

Had a good running week with a combination of easy, hill sprints and long run. A couple of days after the doing the sprint session, my legs were heavy and stiff.. even doing 'easy run' was hard. Thats what i get for not doing sprint/speed sessions. But as they say "no pain, no gain". So hopefully next week would be better.

The long run on Satruday was hard and fast with almost 10 hills which include a very very steep hill (MFA) and a very very long hill (Mabohai). Oh ya, we had to go pass the Sg. Akar landfill waste site (not for the weak - had a few runners who threw up). Didnt bring any water for the run as we planned to go easy, but i was wrong. Never should have trusted them. Was running on empty for the last 20 mins.

Got invited by my mate Bahar to join him and his crew for a ride. Met up at 6.30 am and instantly felt like ugly duckling, all of them had shiny new high tech carbon bikes and i was using my kapchai road bike, an alloy frame second hand bike i bought from someone which i think i paid too much.... oh well.. Overall, it was a good ride, i think they were being nice to me and just maintained a steady pace. Might join them again on Tuesday for a hill session.
