Just 3 weeks to Race Day!

did 14km this morning...9.0kmh & average heartbeat 158/min...2 days ago also did 14km slightly better at 9.1kmh average heartbeat 157/min..

would have prefered to do only once 14km a week but not much time left..leaving with Lisa for Kyoto 19-24nov, so I have 1 run with Choon Hung this wed & probably 3runs after returning on 24nov until race day StandChart 1/2 marathon on 5dec...maybe will do 1 more or max 2 more 14km...

psychologically still feels less prepared than 29may sundown...also sundown was flat terrain whereas StandChart 1/2 marathon is running thru' Resort World Universal Studios & quite hilly terrain i think on sentosa after which lead up ECP then turn back to end at padang...others may like the view but I only focus on running when I run so not bothered about Universal Studios and all that..

seriously consider not to do any more 1/2 marathons no point to put pressure on myself can just sign up a few 10km runs thru' out the year & those will be like just a 3x weekly regular runs no need preparation...

did 14.1km run this morning

did 14.1km this morning - 1hr 35mins about 8.9kmh average heartrate 159/min (was 9.03kmh same heartrate at 12km)...very happy..means if I run remaining 7kmfor my Standchart 1/2 marathon and take another hour I can complete in 2hr 34mins or slightly more...
did 12km 2 days ago about 9kmh and higher heartrate...standchart 21.1km 1/2 marathon is on 5dec2010 <4weeks away...feel that I am less prepared than Sundown earlier on May30 but if I can do a 12km run & 14km run each week for the remaining time it should be ok..
anyway always say aim to complete not complete, and after this may not run anymore 1/2marathons...these days there's more than a run every week and can probably pick up 4 or 5 10km runs a year no need to run 1/2 marathons...very happy I can do 10km as a normal 3 times/week run w/o overworking my lungs and legs and happy to just keep it that way...
