Kg.Pandan 5km run, May 4,2006
Right before the training start at 6.30pm, the sky is clear. It's like telling us not to skip the training for today.
Did an easy warm up, not even sweat. Mr.Chan generously telling us that today's event is only one, 5km run on set time. Evryone was given their time target. I feel a bit lazy to run as I'm going to have fun this weekend in Sipadan Island. I was told to run on 4m45s pace per km. That's mean altogether not to excess 23min45sec for my 5km run. I haven't run at this speed before but I told my self to stick to it as hard as possible.
I did the 5km run in below 1km breakdown :

1st 1km : 4m33s
2nd 1km: 4m54s
3rd 1km: 4m55s
4th 1km: 5m07s
5th 1km: 5m16s
Total collapsed time :24min48sec

I felt pain in my left leg calf muscle during the 4th 1km. Just try to focus on my run and want it so much to complete the 5km within 25min. Finally did it but set to run a better time next time doing the same here. Mr.Chan said this is due to lack of millege training in running, advised to run more during weekend. Hopefully won't lead to major injury for it.

Informed Mr. Chan that i'll be MIA for 1 month from now. His advise is to bring running shoes whenever i go and at least run 30min a day. He said there is no excuse to skip running as this will keep me in shape of where i am now, else all my training so far will be wasted. Got it and will keep it to practise it while i'm on outstation trip.
