Did a 10km run around the neighbourhood

Have not been running for the past 1 week.

Took a cup of coffee and 2 bananas. Went to run around 9am. Was glad to be able to complete the 10km run in less than 1 hour ( i.e. 59:40 minutes ). While running I just monitor the running speed and the time lapsed, no longer look at the heart rate. But still continue to 'listen' to the body especially the heart and chest area to make sure I am not over-stressed. Today's run was fairly easy with the heart rate at Zone 3 most of the time except nearer to the end when it is in Zone 4. Also did not drink during this 10km run.

Current plan is to do at least two weekday 10km runs (within less than an hour) and a weekend >20km run to prepare for Dec full marathon event.
