All my plans for preparations for ATC race tomorrow went just that, PLANS. I was planning to do a 20k LSD from Dasma to Cavite City. However, I woke up too late I did not pursue it anymore. In the afternoon, I planned to do tempo run for 6 km but ended up doing run and more walk, and worst, end up walking the rest of the remaining 4 km on my way home. Saturday morning came I plan to run, it didn’t happen again due to laziness. My alarm sounded exactly 5am, hit the snooze button, 5 minutes later it sounded, I hit the snooze button again, next time I know it was already 11:30am! I wasn’t really feeling bad, my body seems able but I guess I lack discipline. In every sports, it is discipline that seperates boys from man. This is something I really have to practice if I want to improve myself!
With my botched up plan, I’m not really looking forward to beating my 1:1:46 time I had from Greenfields 10k. However, I will still aim for it as I really don’t want to feel bad on that day.
Have you had your own bad training day?

A bad training day is part of a runner’s life. As long as it’s the exception rather than the rule you’ll be alright.

Finally got a chance to check out your site. Congratulations on taking up running. It’s a great exercise as well as a sport. A number of the Pinoys know me and got to know me more when I visited the Phils last November.
As Bong says, a bad training day is part of our lives. With the years that I’ve been involved in the sport, I’ve always looked at it as a learning experience. Some days when I don’t feel good before races, I’ve actually run my best at those run.
Take care my friend and happy running!

Hi Sam. Is it okay if I could add your blog link to my site please? I always ask.
Once my job situation gets cleared up, I’ll start making plans on my next vacation to PI. The last one was very memorable but too short! Take care.
