Bay Run 7km 48min 10am

Its not easy to get out of bed when its dark and raining. I hadnt planned to run any later than 8, considering the sweltering heat yesterday when it felt like a usual humid day in Singapore. But I decided it wont hurt to run later if the weather's lousy. "possible thunderstorm" eh? No lighting so far.

It started raining when I got out of the car. I had a raincoat on but the string on the hood came off and I hadnt bothered to string it back in. So I was holding on to the hood throughout most of the run. The rain coat doesnt really allow air to filter through but because I wasnt running till my lungs were bursting, it was OK and I though I might as well run in a sauna to prepare for the NB run back home.

Its a comfortable pace. Not the kind I'd feel my heartbeat banging in my ear sort. Although I'm thinking, I'm definitely losing motivation to speed up. and I dont know for how long more I can make lame excuses for myself.

The left lower leg is tight. The tightness goes away after 3km then my left leg would stop stomping and I feel I can go faster.

I feel my knees are suffering because I was wearing heels all weak. But I dont have much other footwear to choose from because the rest are stuffy boots. short of wearing yellow flip flops to work.

So now I'm hungry and I'm really sleepy although I had enough sleep. Its till dreadful outside but I got to drag myself to the hairdresser lest I start looking my age.
