Prelim Exam - Recovery Run

Its still in the prelim exam period. I know I should not be tiring myself out but I am just itching for a run.

Yesterday, I did the outer lane of bedok reservoir. It was a torture. Straight on my first few strikes on the ground, I could feel my knee "dislocating". I tried to manage a slow and easy pace all the way after the slope. After that, I really give up and ended up walking the rest of the distance. I was feeling a bit breathless and my legs just could not support. Anyway, its just a recovery run after 5 days of no exercise.

So, I woke up early just to have a run in the morning. Then, it had to rain. I went back to sleep as well as study. So, in the afternoon, I really could not take it anymore and went over to bedok reservoir again for a short run. This time the inner gravel path, 4.3km. Woah, I could say the gravel feels soft and sort of wet from the rain. My legs still feel a bit tired but I pushed on with an easy pace. I thought the weather was quite nice until about halfway through my mouth felt parched. Anyway, I managed to complete the distance.

Initially, I planned of doing at least 2 rounds of bedok reservoir, 1 inner and 1 outer. However, the weather was quite hot and did not want to risk my life. Haha, I decided to proceed to the gym and bike. Its been a long time since I had biked. I biked for 15 mins and it was challenging yet fun.

Overall, it was a nice run and bike over these two days and i guess my legs deserve a rest for the next 2 days. =)
