Tried to wake up early, but my body refused. Normally, I don't mind sleeping in, but this meant that I had my 13-mile training run in the peak of the afternoon (Silly Nicole). Training for a marathon in the middle of HK summer is probably not the best idea I've ever had, but hopefully training in the crazy heat / humidity will make running in cool weather a little easier?
The later part of the run involves going downhill for about 25 minutes, which also means that you need to go uphill that same distance. I did not / could not run up the whole way - definitely took some breathers on the way up. This is a new goal for myself - to be able to run up Tai Hang road from the bottom all the way to Bowen road without stopping. Stretch goal :)
Otherwise, nothing crazy to report. Definitely was pretty tired after the run (managed to finish 2litres of water during the run), but got through the PCP exercises anyway. I only did 3 of the 5 sets (x70) of the skipping…. my knees weren't particularly happy with me, so I showed mercy on them. In the evening, I had some people over, we BBQ'd (I went with 1/2 a burger, and a hotdog no bun), and hung out and played Apples to Apples (like a board game, but there isn't actually a board… it's played with cards).
I stayed away from the drinks, so now I am going to have non-hungover weekend day #2! Craziness!!!
