Early morning Run

Well just wanted to describe the early morning run today that started at 5.30 am in the morning. Ever since my stomach flu, I have realized not taking the antibiotics makes you vulnerable enough to get sick again. That happened on Friday after my swim training session. My body has not fully recovered from flu and I still training to get fit for the TRi race. On sat, I had slight fever and running nose. I rested from Sunday to Monday and early Tuesady morning I did my run. A slow steady pace that took me around Punggol to the ghost house near the mass rapid station followed by the run up the bridge and back to my block again. It was invigourating to say the least. Just the smell of the morning air, the wet road and sound of the heart rate monitor beeping each time it passed the 160 zone. That was great, a good 40 minutes run in my zone of 162.

I missed a training session yesterday, so I will follow up with a second training session that will include a bike ride. I need to do errands today and I guess I will be biking to get them done today.

The swim session involved the following drills, 5 laps warm up using the front crawl, with 5 X 2 laps at 2: 45, followed through with 5 laps warm down at 7: 45, my condfidence in using front crawl and I may use this stroke for the OSIM tri race. At this speed, I reckon I may complete the 1.5 km distance in 45 minutes which is far cry from the 35 minutes I was able to do with breast stroke.

Lets see how things go. In ten days, I will leave for India and training under 40 degrees heat will prove to be interesting.
