Just spent the last 5-6 hours discussing and planning the proposed training program for the team... AND ITS STILL NOT FINISHED YET! Erm... lots of work to be done because the last training program was quite brief.

Its not like school when I only had to plan for training session per training session... for a whole day affair you need to give allowancy for recovery and different activity zones. Luckily all that and the planning for camps has granted some experience. Plus, having a someone with a Ph.d plan a training program for me has proved to be invaluable reference material.

Went to run the usual route again. When was the last time I ran it? Hrm... since the knee injury, then the one day flu... its been like 2 weeks of no running? Except the two 2.4km runs up and down the corridor at the hotel in indonesia.

And oh my gawd... Maybe it was the sprinting on the canoe, maybe it was the substitute stair climbing, or the race sets, or chemical C, or the fear of clocking a sucky timing after just recovering from the flu today, but I clocked a new persone best... 11:22mins.

That's like... 18 secs faster than my previous timing.

So surreal.

The periods to come will be the time to see if I had placed all my pieces in the right place. The game will be set in motion at last.
