It is said that one should rest a day for every mile ran in a marathon. That equates to 26 days of rest or about a month. Last year, though my legs recovered within a day or two, I took a month and a half break from running.
Last week, my legs were starting to itch and I was dying to run. I have already figured out the race plan for next year but I shan't go into the details until it's more firmed up. I have been resisting the urge and haven't done a single km run except for running across the road.
This Sunday, I will be participating in the Nike City 10K. It will be a fun run for me and I won't be aiming for any timing. I just want to let me legs run a little.
Meanwhile, I am rather glad that I no longer need to train as the haze is terrible and I can't imagine having to run 20 miles in this blurry smog.
P.S I have verbal diarrhea this week. It's been hectic at work and when that happens, I usually land up on a blogroll and I have been tweeting non-stop too! So bear with me :P
