Indoor Cross Country

Oh noes. After a pattern of hot afternoons, the trend now is thunderstorms. Decide to hit the threadmill. Did the 30min X-country 1 mode on speed 7. When I first started running I couldn't even complete the full 30mins. Now its just a light workout. Avg HR is 90 max 180 at the steepest angle.

Late Nite Run In NTU 2


This time round I enter NTU via the overhead bridge over PIE and exit by Pioneer North. Ran clockwise direction this time instead. I expect it to be harder than the anti-clockwise direction but it wasn't too tough. Maybe its me getting stronger. Total mileage: 6km

Family day at the gym

Didn't go do my LSD as the missus wanted to go to the gym. Well theres still Sunday but its rare the lazy woman can bother to wake up so early on a Saturday. I had to spent some time guiding her how to use the various workout machines. Did a variety of workouts which include: Threadmill, Rowing, Legpress, Quad, Hamstring, Abs, Lower Back, Pull-up etc.

So much for training programme

Before today I only ran 4km the whole week due to the "training programme" which is supposed to be compulsary and starting this week. However due to last minute shit work and tons of paperwork do be done before a run can happen, nothing materialise. Stupid me for not going for the group runs. Today is supposed to have a training too but end up I stay after work to do my own run at the workplace. Total mileage: 5.4km
