Oops so I missed yesterday entry. Looks like my blogging consistency is going up in smokes if this continues eh
Well anyway I’ve a good reason. I was swamped with work and last but not the least, this Pak Lepak Lepu was aching
I cannot blog with aching body lah … so pampered right, haha
Yesterday I woke up with the most excruciating ache ever … all because I die-die nak lari (run) at my club event
Well it was fun and all, meeting old peeps, running and reliving my old glory days. But the aftermath, the ache just hits me when I woke up the next day. I then decided to go back to bed for another hour, haha
It’s been so long since I ran that FAST, and to run competitively out of the sudden, when I’ve been jogging recreationally all this while, well I’m asking for trouble
I was slotted with the young strapping boys from my club to form the 4x400m team. We came in first and each of us averaged around 53 seconds. I was the first leg runner, given I was the oldest and slowest
While I was panting and heaving to clock 53 seconds, the other three buggers was like having a stroll in the park doing that timing. Well they can go faster of course, but took it easy. They can smile some more during running!! Bloody mangkuk Haha
The trick is to get your pacing right: Blast first 50m, maintain speed don’t tense, float and coast until 200m, gradually pickup speed telling yourself you’re going faster, and after the final bend let it loose … Indeed this Uncle really let it loose, until the next day, I cannot even feel my ass anymore
After my run, people commented that I still looked fast despite not training, and some even urged me to run again … Err no thank you please. I’ve moved on and I’ve more important things in my life to focus on
But still it was fun, I’ll go through this torture again next year. I’ll make it an annual fun event to torment myself
Sorry no photos … hmm this uncle as he grows older, tends to camwhore lesser & lesser
