Time changes. I participated in 17 km run this time with high confident that I can complete the run. The only worry I had before the run was my knee. I haven't had running this distance since Penang Run at the end of January. During that run, I was forced to walk for a few minutes.
Lucky this time. I didn't experienced any pain throughout the whole run. My pace of 6:12/km is about the same pace as I did during Penang Bridge Half Marathon 2012 (6:11/km). After this run, I am able to walk up and down stairs as normal. Not like Penang Bridge Half Marathon, I was suffering to go up or down the stairs for a few days. I think I did pretty good this time.
As for my training pace last week, ie. 6:26/km, this was the pace that I ran around Oct 2012. I guess this is where I am now.
After all, this is the long run that I had after injury AND most importantly, I didn't experience pain during throughout the run!
