Back From Jakarta Again

It was another business trip to Jakarta on business trip. Purposely try very hard to get apartments with gyms and swimming pool facility. I was stayed in Summerville Apartment in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta for 4 weeks from 15th Jan - 8th Feb 07.
I'd planned ahead of my running training during the stay in Jakarta. For the 1st week, all thing worked out just fined. I did approximately 42km during the 1st week in my running log. I included swimming sessions during the 2nd week training as the swimming pool is well maintained with the length of 50m. Logged ~ 32km during the 2nd week. Things getting out of order when my right toe got bad cut when i hit on the stairs on the 3nd week's Friday night, can't really work properly!! But recovered quick to logged a ~28km run during the 3rd week and the worst part is, gym was closed due to flood in the apartment. Didn't run since 2nd Feb until 10th Feb 07.

I did a slow jog after > 1 week not running. I did it in Stadium Tun Fatimah, Bukit Serindit Melaka with the new Reebok running shoes that I bought in Jakarta for just RM60. Heel was feeling pain during the first day run and subsided after a while, maybe my foot is not fit to the shoes yet. Feel tightness on the left kneel, and both thighs.

Will get a new running shoes today and start back my running to improve on my running leg as my preparation for August 07 Half Ironman in Desaru,Johor. Hope I can make it with no injury, just put my finger cross :)
