Nellie: Week 5 (Run 1 & Run 2)

Run 1 (9th March)

I was in Malacca for an overnight so I decided to grab the opportunity to run in a foreign place by myself. Up to now, I've always been running with Shaun so I thought it would be interesting to see how I would survive on my own :D Anyways, we were staying in A Farmosa Resort Villa; the place has row and rows of bungalows, so it really was just like running in a small housing area - nothing too foreign about that. Hahahaha.

Woke up at 6:35 in the morning for food and hot drink. Actually my mom woke me up even though I told her I was going to wake up only at 7. Ugh, too bloody early for me.

Distance: Unknown
Total time: 31:43 minutes
Average speed: Unknown

I didn't have the chance to drive around and check with the car odometer to see how much I ran. Google map doesn't have the street map of the place so I couldn't check there as well. But I figured I ran about 2.5km or so.

Run 2 (10th March)

On this evening we ventured to Subang Ria Recreational Park for a really short run. We wanted to run longer distance, but we got there too late and it was getting rather dark even during our first lap around the lake.

Distance: 1.14 km
Total time: 7:54 minutes
Average speed: 8.66 kmph

We did another lap around the lake but I only managed to half walk half run that lap. I figure my muscles haven't fully recovered from the previous day's run. And I ran into a swarm of bugs so that disrupted my run for a bit. Blehssssss. Never gonna run there after 7pm anymore.

The good news is my right ankle didn't give me much problem during the run on both days, possibly because I tried to minimise the impact on it.
