I forgot to have anything to drink before last night's 1 hour run. So, I felt so hot and dehydrated by the time I got back. The weather is so hot these days! It was a good run, nevertheless. I ran past a group of kids who were having a water balloon fight. I was secretly hoping that I would be hit by a water balloon, but it didn't happen.

Last night, I went for my 45 minute run - from my house to university and back. I was well within 45 minutes. I might extend the run around the university ground, or maybe run a longer circuit in the park towards the halfway mark.

I played hacky after the run too. I was so warm and well stretched - it was great!

On Tuesday, I went out slowly, on purpose. I wanted to see if I had the discipline to run a slow 30-minute run. It went better than the Sunday night run, but it still didn't feel as good as the one on Monday. My time was under 30 minutes for the 3rd time in a row. Perhaps 30 minutes is not so hard for this run after all.

Saturday's run was great! It is the second time that I have done the 2-stage 90 minute run, and I almost knocked 5 minutes off the last time. OK, I'm not really supposed to be going out for speed, but it is nice to see some improvement.

On Sunday, I went out for the 30 minute run too fast. I felt terrible, but still managed to break 30 minutes. I need to maintain my discipline and not run too fast.

Monday's run was 60 minutes - the Ringbaan run. I had a headache from thinking too much at work, and this was the ideal remedy. I felt much better after the run. And, I was again very close to breaking 1 hour.

I am stretching for longer after each run. I think that is important to do.
