Run Log (August 2014)


08 August 2014, Saturday.

Some days you simply know you are not in the form. Today was one of those days but I had to drag my lazy arse out to run anyway, for I have not been training enough.

Did the Straits Quay route with minor variation to avoid some on street Raya celebration.

Stopped to let vehicles passed at a junction and I just stopped running as well. Only did 3.05km, took me 25 minutes. A slow run, ended okay.

19 August 2014, Tuesday.

Straits Quay route, from apartment onwards instead of walking to Island Plaza before start running. Same on the return trip. This was the route I started off with last year, but Nike+ cheated me off 0.5km this time.

According to Nike+, I ran 5.84km in 43 minutes. It should be around 6.3km but oh well.

Ended okay so I am happy, as this is the first time I broke the 5km mark since the beginning of my not-so-consistent training.

Guess frustration and anger do help. Frustration from work and anger from a naughty son.

24 August 2014, Sunday.

Had family lunch out today instead of the usual dinner so I went running in the evening. Felt a bit guilty for not running yesterday when it was just a very minor drizzling.

The usual Straits Quay route, today Nike+ said it's 5.94km, 100m more than Tuesday. Meh, I can live with that.

Did that in 43 minutes and ended okay.

As an aside, I went to Botanical Garden intended to pick up the PBIM shirt and bib today since I was one of the early birds. Arrived around 12:40 hours only to be told that it's already over.

Curses! I checked my screenshot of collection time when I registered in March and it says from 11am to 9pm, they must have changed that and never bothered to inform those of us who don't go check their website.

Bollocks.

28 August 2014, Thursday.

Nike+ is really pulling my leg. The exact same route I ran last year was 6.28km, early this month it became 5.94km, last Sunday it became 5.84km, and today it became 5.43km.

Seriously, a difference of 100m to 200m is still logical but this is getting ridiculous! I mean, come on, how can the same route be almost 1km shorter now compared to a year ago?

>_<

Meh! Anyway, according to Nike+, I ran 5.43km in 40 minutes today. Ended okay.
