was sick...got to train extra hard!!!

Had a bad flu on monday, thought i recovered on tuesday and went ahead with my usual tuesday ride, didn't dare to pull, as wind condition was really bad, and my heart rate was way too high to be doing any more work. I suffered at the end, panting really badly.

Had my rest and proceed home without supper. Reached home realising that i need to pay my bills, i offer to get some food for my brother, and then, got myself a sinful supper which is probably the catalyst for my fever and cold the next day. Stamina went down quite a bit, didn't dare to do anything till full recovery...

Did a easy slow paced ride on saturday and realise that i have to miss the sunday training as well. Finally monday arrived, did a short 5km run, to check if my lungs are able to function probably. The run was fine, but the weather was bad with the haze built-up in Singapore. Will be doing a swim and run this evening if the weather permits....got to be extra hard on myself as saturday would be the first race and i am totally not trained for it...

menu for this week as follows:-
Monday: 5km Run(am) ,1.5km swim, 3km run(pm)
Tuesday: 3km Run (am) ,60km bike, 3km run (pm)
Wednesday: 1.5km swim, and Easy 8km run (pm)

Commencing Training 1/08

will be starting my training after a long long break...rest from marathon, "carbo-loading" during chinese new year and it is finally time to commence my first official training for 2008.

What is better than to start off the whole racing season with a marathon in 3 months time. Will be doing the sun-down marathon....and will have to pump in some serious effort to make my sub 5 marathon happen finally....

Tues...3km run
thurs...5km run
fri....5km run
sat....8km at night
sunday....3km easy run...

that should be the menu for the week....
