After the Hong Kong Marathon, I have a problem with my patella. Doctor said it is normal wear and tear. I rested for 2 weeks without running, taking Glucosamine to help the self-repair. Just when I started my 11km a week ago, my lower back pain comes back. It is not that bad but I have to cancel a training session. I already signed up for the Sundown Familiarization Run. I was struggling when to join the run or not. At the end, after some stretching of the hamstring over a few days, it is relaxed enough for me to walk pain-free. I decided to continue to join the familiarization run but will walk instead of run and only up to 20km. I believe the walk will still help me to familiarize with the route.
This is already the third familiarization run. However, I have missed the first two. On this run, it is from Bedok to Changi Beach.
After arriving the U-turn point, I still feel ok and want to complete at least 21km. At the Loyang Avenue, after completing 22.5km, I decided to call it a day and took a bus at Loyang Avenue back to Bedok Reservoir Park. Total time is a very slow 3 hr 23 minutes. I have to start to build-up my mileage to prepare for the 84km Sundown Ultra Marathon.
