I had a reasonable nights sleep last night and so headed out into the warm morning air of Singapore at 5:30. It was very warm and humid and for most of the time the thunder and occasional lightning made it very atmospheric but uncomfortable. It was tough going, perhaps because of the accumulated tiredness or maybe the heat. Singapore is an amazing city, it is preparing for the Youth Olympics in the summer and they are making a great job of it you can now almost run a full circuit around the harbour in sight of the water.
I managed the full 90 but I would guess was very slow. On occasions I felt like I was "sleep running". I guess training like this is OK because it gives an indication of what it will be like running on empty when running the marathon. This evening my flight is just after 11pm and so I had some time between the end of the work day, work calls and leaving for the airport so I headed for the pool. A full hour but only covering 3k, which is a bit slow (again), however another one in the bank. So far this week I have just about managed to hit my programme, however tomorrow will be a different matter as I have a great deal of travelling to do. I think this is the most tired I have been since starting the full on training, sitting at the airport waiting for the call, I am worried that if I doze off I will miss the call and fight. I will be so pleased to hit my seat and disappear into another world for 13 hours.
