Finally got a chance to run this evening.
Took a gamble though.
The weather was overcast. The clouds are super dark gray and lying very low.
Looks like it is raining in Ang Mo Kio. But what the heck.
Took a 2nd gamble. Worn my Cho-pat, then decided to leave it at home.
Wanted to see how I fare without the knee strap.
Put on my Baby Triax and out I go.
Dun have a fixed route, so today's route was simply rojak.
Along the way, see a lot of other runners.
So I am not the only crazy runner around. ;p
Interesting thing I observed during the run, is that Baby Triax is giving me the thump thump thump sound when I run. This has not happen for other shoes. So why Triax?
Triax has a foot bridge which is made of more compressed foam. The sound seems to come from there. Wonder why?
First 3 km was okay, but the next 2 km was simply bad. Breathing is very laboured. I did a run-walk but it does not help to ease the breathing.
Once I turn the corner of Yishun Park, I felt much better. The air feels lighter and cooler. Spooky, eh....
After that , I felt I could just continue non-stop.
Decided to go further than my usual 6km.
After 8km, I am still 2km away from home.
But decided to stop, as I felt the knees a bit wobbly liao.
No point taking the chance today and miss the race next week.
Was happy with my pace, though a bit surprised.
Din know that I was doing that much better. :p
