Malakoff Penang Run 2013

Malakoff Penang Run 2012 was the first ever race that I joined around one year ago since I picked up running.  I joined 7km fun run  last year.  I trained hard for that and I was almost out of breath to complete the run.

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!
