LAZY WEDNESDAY MORNING

It was a lazy Wednesday morning for me. I woke up at 6am and realized that I was already late for my morning training at ULTRA. Sorry Coach. I forgot to put my air-conditioner on timer so I had overslept. Had the a/c swithched off at 4am, I would have been able to wake up by 430am or 5am at the latest. I was also probably tired from my run last night with Mikey and Mayen of Happy Feet.

Well, I still tried my best to train. I had texted Coach that I’d be late. So I rode out with my dad to head to the MRT station and I had already told myself that I’d just take a cab so I’d get to ULTRA much quicker. As I stepped out of the car and on my way to the MRT Station, it started to pour real hard. Good thing that I was in a covered area. It came to a point that I had to get myself an umbrella. As much as I wanted to go, I decided that perhaps it was also raining hard at ULTRA. I tried calling up Coach but I think he was busy with his students and the UP Track Team (who also trains at ULTRA, MWF). I had decided to go back home.

RUNNING IN THE RAIN

It isn’t really that bad to run in the rain. Well, there is just a possibility that you’d get sick or catch the flu. Other than that, it actually feels good. The feeling of raindrops cooling you off as you run is refreshing. Personally, the only downside of running in the rain is that my feet get awfully wet and my shoes tend to get this really awful odor. Imagine the smell of wet socks. Hehehe!

Last night, I was with Mikey and Mayen of Happy Feet and we did about 4 rounds of the academic oval. I was able to do my assignment of 8k, did even more since I was able to do 8.8k (UP Academic Oval has a total distance of ~2.2km). When we started, it was just drizzling a bit and as we were doing out las lap, it started to pour. Mikey and I called it a night.

LATER, when the rain stops, I’ll probably do my supposed workout. I’m supposed to do 2 sets of 4×200m. Tomorrow, hopefully it doesn’t rain so that I can do my 10k.
