Wednesday.
I had planned to have a game of soccer last night and jump in the pool at lunch time today. However, as I had skipped the foot ball, leaving my legs in a relatively good state, (after 1 hour of football I can barely walk the next day), I thought it a good idea to move things around and get in an easy run this morning by jogging into work.
Easy it turned out not to be.
I started out with a good, high protein breakfast of sausages, scrambled eggs and some fresh salad, then put on the back pack filled with fresh business shirt, pair of shoes and regular kit and headed onto Grange Road to make my way to the office. The weather was very mild this morning. Overcast and a temperature of 25C. 9.6 km I covered, and not once did I feel I got into a comfortable rhythm. I can only put it down to the ride yesterday. I think the sprint along Farrer Road took a little more out of my legs than I realised. I contented myself with the thought that I might redeem something from the day on the return run home.
Lunch consisted of Chicken with stir fried vegetables and rice.
In the afternoon I took a shorter route home which takes me along the Queensway before following the canal that runs parallel to Commonwealth Avenue. There was no redemption. Not today. But I did cover 7.5 km to make a total of 17.1 km for the day. Put it in the mix I say. Come September 29, this could be the set of runs that makes the difference.
For dinner I ate some steamed wontons with a light soy sauce and yogurt with honey for afters. (Capiano Honey of course. There is much by the way of good Australian produce to be found in Singapore. In fact if one wanted to I am pretty certain that I could eat exactly the same food in Singapore as I could in Australia. Maybe I should do an experiment one week?)
