To borrow a line from Dickens' "Tale of two Cities," I'd have to title this post "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times." I won't quote the entire paragraph, but suffice to say, this describes my state of mind at the moment. I have had some pretty strong runs lately. It has been 6 days since I posted so an update: 10k followed by strides, 5k followed by 300 stair sprints, 8.56 miles, a craptastic 3.7 miles followed by 30 laps in the pool. These 3.7 miles clocked in yesterday was one of the worst runs I've had this year - I broke out into an awful rash which caused my left side to swell up. This happened almost immediately after I started. I sucked it up for 30 minutes before leaving with my tail between my legs.
19 miles this am. 18 miles in 155 minutes. Walked the last mile home in 20 minutes.

Quick updates.
Saturday: 13.7 miles
Sunday: 10 mile tempo followed by 35 laps in the pool.
Monday: unintended rest day.
Tuesday/this morning: 18 mile LSD. I didnt stop once, slowed down about 4 miles from home and picked up the pace the last mile. I finished in 160 minutes (2hrs 39 minutes to be precise). I ran till Terminal 2 and watched the first flights land this morning. I caught sight of the mighty ugly A380 returning from Sydney at around 5.45am. I love running by Changi - not a soul in sight!
