Long Run

August 1st, 2010

This morning, I was able to run almost 30 KM.  I feel a sense of accomplishment- it has been almost 4 months since I have stopped running due to an ankle injury and work related training during Sundays.  The only other long run that  I completed before this  was running 25km during the Milo half-marathon ( yup, i added loops before heading for the finish line).

It’s also my first time to run that distance alone ; you see running  that long by yourself is very difficult. It’s a good thing that I brought my iPod with me to keep me entertained.

I  had to take a different route for this run since MOA was filled by the participants of the Rexona Run.

It seems that I wasn’t the only one doing a long run this morning – I met Pat of Takbo.ph twice.

Upon reaching the 28th KM I suddenly felt weak,l then I remembered :  I didn’t eat breakfast!

Almost 30 KM - I had to stop due to the heat; next week Ill try to start earlier :)
