from green to black

ironman quest

today was special, decided that the theme of my training
program today would be pain. i wore new shoes, the type
that would give you blisters easily and went for a very
long run. buona vista, 2 rounds car park and haw par villa
consecutively. its probably anywhere from 17-21km and i
did it in a little less than 1hr and 35mins. i experienced
pushing past certain pains which i hadnt felt for a long
time. i felt my self will increase a lot (solo endurance
does that to people, the urge to survive you know).

so right now i have 2 blisters but i still feel good. oh
i forgot, the 2nd part of training. i decided to do some
endurance gym because i figured that i couldnt be shacked
after a 21km run. its too short and the ironman would be
wayyy too long for me to just end training like that.
so lighter weights and everything had to be more than 20
reps. did my arms, back and some clean and jerks. ugh.

so hopefully, i'm on track to reaching my improvement
target. i should be able to hit stanchart marathon
comfortably. and still have enough juice to go on. i need
to figure out my race nutrition and transitions.

ok chao, cant stay and chat
