Recent Running Training

I ran 3 K last Sunday, and 5 K yesterday.

Both times I ran while the sun was high.

Last Sunday I ran before noon.

My body felt light, and cardio was in good condition.

I could have gone beyond 3 K,

but since I was planning to go out to have lunch with a friend,

I decided not to overtire myself.

In extreme fatigue nothing will taste good.

Yesterday I went for my training run in mid afternoon.

The sun was strong, and few were seen in the park.

I started off without setting a goal as I felt a bit tired

from drinking till late on the previous night.

My body was heavy and I couldn't pick up the pace.

I ran the first 2 K at my half marathon pace of between 4:40/K and 4:50/K

with a break of 30 seconds.

But I needed a much longer rest after that.

I went to get some tap water over my arms and face to cool off the heat,

hoping it would help me sustain the training.

But even after that effort, I wasn't able to bring out power from within.

The break after each K became longer and longer.

And when I finished my 5th K, I gave up.

The tired feeling was presumably mainly because of drinking alcohol on the previous night.

I gave myself ten hours of sleep, but my liver and whole internal organs were exhausted

from trying to break down the toxic substance and bringing the system back on track.

I must stick to moderate drinking to maintain the quality of my physical training.
