Recovery

After two days of lazing around resting, I went for the recovery run yesterday.

Kampung Pandan Sports Complex.

I was running slowly, lap after lap, when suddenly an elderly chap passed me and said, "Keep going. Dont give-up. You have good stamina."

I was surprised, he must be watching me for awhile.

5km run. Total kcal = 1456. Time = 33mins 22 sec.

Later, went to play a good 2-hours of tennis.

Recovering well.

Stupe,

I dunno what's got into me yesterday. im also baffled with the timing. maybe something wrong with the HRM? or maybe the adrenalin rush hasnt subsided.

But i felt good.

Upiq,

Previously, I thought losing weight and getting my cholesterol down were my only predicament. I'm now 14% fat @ 67kg but now I have another predicament - your challenge ayooo!!! ok2 I will "try" to kacau Bandit and Stupe.
