I know I should be in bed now, but thanks to my 8.30-9.30pm recovery run, I'm still very much awake! It never fails-
a run in the evening = usual bedtime + 2-3 hrs of being unable to sleep
It's almost like drinking coffee except that you're wide awake AND energetic! Caffeine certainly can't do that to me. There are times when I still feel sleepy even after two cups of brewed coffee (nope, not yet a coffee addict ;-p).
As for this evening's recovery run, surprise, surprise, it's still for the half marathon last Sunday. Technically it should not be called that anymore, being done so late in the week. Can't think of a fancier term though for my first training run after the Condura race. Ehehe. Forgive my vanity.
Just did a slow 8km interrupted by a 1km sprint with a pace of about 5min/km. Not sure if you'd call it a sprint but that pace is already fast for me. My, I was literally panting for breath! Only shows I need to do more on the speed training space.
My fiance was supposed to run with me but he got tied up in a depressing meeting and had problems with his car muffler. Quite sad :-( On the brighter side, I had ample time to cool down and window shop at Bonifacio High Street. As it turned out, the window shopping led to a great discovery.... Mizuno Creation 10 :-)
More on that in my next entry, and on my first half marathon in another one... It's now 2.49am... still not feeling sleepy. Tsk Tsk.
