I was still coughing a little yesterday. Strangely, I have not coughed since after today's run... I certainly feel alot better today.
Lesson learned:
I was anxious about my performance for the race. Coming down with flu, cough so near to the race and having to put running on a hold made me really nervous and worried. Then, I realised I should/need to learn to relax and yet maintaining focus and intensity.
My pulse - this is something I don't pay attention to.
Does our pulse rate vary in the day? What am I supposed to look out for? I'll remember to take down my pulse rate every morning from now on.
My goal - Initially, I hope to do a sub55mins. But I wasn't confident of attaining it since I didn't know how to train for it. The few times I ran 10km on my own, my best timing was 1hr05mins. I reckoned in a race, I probably would take longer. So, I thought sub60mins would be more realistic and achievable...
Yes, I would like to have a better timing. Pls tell me how?

PS - It's certainly feels good to be back running again...
