short walk entry

on Tuesday, November 3, 2009

my organisation has an incentive scheme to encourage us to exercise. for this activity, we have to choose between running 2.4km and walking 2km which i chose the latter.

given the heavy downpour last saturday, it was the best day to sleep. just as i thought that i would be wading like a duck, the rain stopped with wind blowing at regular intervals.

i started my first lap at 1:40min which was a promising but difficult to sustain pace. the next 2 laps were maintained at 2:00min and the pace dropped further as my legs got heavier in the last 2 laps. Thanks to my deficiency in pace judgement, i finished the walk in 10:40min.

the key to fast walking comes from total body relaxation and it's something that is hard to master.

1 more month to the marathon.
