It’s quite funny actually, I’m giving advice to other people to taper-off for the Condura Run but last night I’m the first one to break my advice.  As I was writing my previous blog yesterday night I was having a dilemma if I was to continue running or not.  Although it seemed like I was convinced to play safe and stop running, I myself wasn’t completely sold to the idea.

At first I went to Ultra just to talk to Coach Rio about Nike’s sponsorship of my Condura Run (which I got, yay!).  I arrived at the Ultra early so I was tempted to “jog.”  It was a very easy jog so I figured it’s okay.  I also got to talk to some of the coaches and Clinic participants and I quickly got the sentiment that most people joining the race this Sunday (particularly the 21K runners) are quite concerned with injury—thus became the theme of the Nike Clinic session.

Since I was already in the area I was eventually “invited” to join the session (thus deviating me from my “jogging”).  Before I knew it I was sprinting.  Eventually I have to excuse myself from being absorbed too much with the session so after a final 1 mile run I called it a day.  I managed to accumulate 4.1K with this visit to Ultra.

Now that I got that running out of my system, it’s time for me to visit the gym for some “easy” cross-training.  Thank goodness I have the Health & Nutrition Seminar and Carbo-loading Party, all courtesy of takbo.ph, to keep me occupied the rest of the week.
