Swam 600m today

Today's Hot-Runners' running session was canceled as most of the folks wanted a rest after last Sunday half marathon event. The weekly Tue and Thu runs will resume next Tuesday 25-Aug.

Thinking of going for a 10km run today but decided to let the body's running mechanism rest for another day. Went to SCC and swam 600m instead. Good choice as the body parts continue to exercise with different sets of muscle and also helps to continue to remove some of the unwanted wasted in the body accumulated over last Sunday's half marathon.

This is my current thought of training plan for the 6-Dec 42km full marathon event (5:30am. My very 1st full marathon).
On weekdays : Two days per week. Each day about 10km or an hour at fairly good speed e.g. 10km/hr or higher. Target to do 10km in less than an hour.
On weekends : One day with a 20km or 30km run at slow speed (LSR : Long Slow Run).

To get the motivation going thinking of joining the followings :-
06-Sep (7:00am) MR25 Progressive 30km run (not sure whether can do it or not)
13-Sep (7:30am) Mizuno 16km run
01-Nov (7:00am) MR25 Progressive 35km run (must do)

Also plan to cross a full 42km on my own 1 month before the actual race. Maybe will do it on the MR25 Proressive 35km run and add in another 7km on my own (1-Nov).

Goal is to complete the 42km full marathon in less than 5 hours.
