short walk entry

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.
