My Life Has Been Unfriendly to Running

That's right, my life has been unfriendly to running lately.  I haven't been serious in training after the Malakoff Run in March as I knew I had to stop running for awhile after my operation on April 18.  I tried to start running again 10 days after the operation but I stopped after a few steps. I felt the pain when running.  So, I had to start to run again at later time.

Two weeks after my operation, I started to run again with just 1km run slowly.  Slowly picking up the mileage to 3km in 10 days time (after 4 run), I was then forced to stop due to heavy workload.  The few 3~4 hours sleep at several nights and followed with no rest day at all for straight 2 weeks with 15~16 hours of working hour per day causing my resting heart beat to be as high as 90 bpm (~25% higher than my regular resting heartbeat).  I was just too tired to anything.

I finally managed to squeeze 1 hour out for running.  After 2km of run, I felt so tired.  However, I eventually forced myself to complete the 3km run that I intended to.  But this was a very tiring 3km run after all.
