| | 2.42 miles in Ubud, BALI. Very breathtakingly beautiful (if it didn't take me so long I'd post a picture!) but the traffic is absolutely horrendous, even on a back road I was nearly run over by hundreds of motorbikes and bicyclists and mini-buses even at 7am. I think maybe they were all going to the temple to pray or something because there was a ridiculous number of people all moving in one direction. So 2.42 miles is all I could handle before I gladly went back to the safety of my hotel room! TT: 26:44 AP: 11:04 |

| | 9:00pm, 4 miles while doing my laundry (very productive, on the first little lap I ran to the store to mail my postcards, then came back and changed my laundry to the dryer, then ran to the track, then came back right when my laundry was done!). Not feeling that good today. My left shin was bothering me almost the whole time (and worrying me) and my huge blister on my right foot is still annoying me. I did a million lunges and calf raises and calf stretching afterwards in the hopes of helping my shin out. TT: 42:32 AP: 10:37 |

| | 6:40pm. THERE IS NO TIME FOR RUNNING! 3 miles at the track with Gitt. I'm having another super low mileage week, not very good coming up on Hood to Coast, where I'm going to have to run 20 (ughhhh, Chris screwed me by leaving the team because he was our strongest runner and now I have to step up). Ran barefoot at the track because I feel like I really need new shoes, the Merrells just don't seem to be the right shoe for me (the VFFs are better). Felt a lot better than yesterday though, no shin pain. Some burning on the bottoms of my feet! :-) TT: 29:31 AP: 9:44 THREE MORE DAYS! I can't wait. Too much to do before then though. |

1:15am, yes, you read that right. Last run in Singapore, 4 laps around the little loop since it's better lit and safer-feeling. Got home from our celebratory dinner and wasn't sure what to do - to sleep or not to sleep, that is the question. Needed to get up by 3:30am and it was already 1am. Was really tired but felt like my sleep wouldn't be fruitful because I'd be too worried about waking up. So I decided to head out for a run instead. First run over 4 miles since the half, I have been such a slacker the past 2 weeks! Just too busy, I hope I don't die at Hood to Coast. Go convince Rachael to switch legs with me. TT: 1:17:19 AP: 11:xx HOME HOME HOME HOME HOME HOME! I forgot to add that I swam in the NTU pool for the first and last time today. First time in an Olympic sized pool! Just 5 laps (500m), my shoulders were so tired and I felt really out of shape. I also saw a snake on this run and I did NOT like it. At least it wasn't another monitor lizard.
