Did not run on Sunday due to some important appointment, left office 5.50pm and straight to Lake Garden for a run and distance in mind was to do at least 1 hour run to make up for Sunday. Reached Lake Gardens about 6.20pm and a quick changed then started my run. Justin the rabbit was no where to be seen so I ran with a boring pace but quite consistent. After the 1st loop my watch showed 28min 36 sec which I was quite surprised commendably a "fast" pace. I decided not to gound for a second Carcosa loop but instead opt for 2 rounds round the lake which make up a 4.6km. The whole run seem quite effortlessly and was over within 58min 36 sec estimated distance covered 11km.
Met YB Mohd Yaziz at the gym and we chatted and at the same time did some workout. Though the weather was hot yesterday but running in Lake Gardens is not that bad (hot) cos there are lots of shades and air quality is not too bad. One of my favourite running place.
Today I will be running at MPSJ and hope to do an hour run. The weather is still hot and will be leaving the office soon. Target time to start running is 6.30pm.
Tomorrow will be a rest day due to meeting at AIA.
Thursday will be last day of training before heading for Penang Bridge Run on Saturday.

MPSJ
Left office at 6.16pm and headed to MPSJ Stadium for a run. Plane to run at least 10km which is 25 laps round the stadium. Reached MPSJ Stadium and changed to my running stuff and was already 6.35pm and off I went round after round keeping pace at 2 minutes per lap which is 5 minutes per km as intended. After 5 rounds I felt my left thigh a little bit sore but kept on going and eventually the soreness no longer felt.
The weather was fine with slight breeze making it comfortable. Still tired after last week Seremban run so did not bother to run fast only keeping to 2 minutes per lap. While heading towards the 10th lap I was contemplating to stop but held on not to give in and continuing until 15th lap and stopped for water. Since I have committed to run 10km so I went on another 10 laps to complete 25 laps and make my day.
The last 10 lap was a breeze, perhaps the body condition was used to the pace and properly warm up. Total time clocked 50.02 mins.
Today shall be a rest day.

Seremban Half Marathon
After 10 months I took part in running the half marathon and to my surprise I was able to complete better timing as compare to last year's race with an improvement of 1 minute. I felt that my condition and fitness was better last year.
What matters most was I managed to complete the run and received a pewter medal which added to my collection. In actual fact I was not prepared to run a half marathon just to try out my fitness. After this run I am now mentally more ready for the Penang Bridge Run in about 11 days to come.
This year condition is not encouraging due to layed off for a while and is difficult to peak again as age is also a factor. Hope to finish 1hr 50min for Penang Bridge Run end of this month, anything below will be BONUS. I have a personal best time 1hr 35min for Penang Bridge Run done in the year 1998.
