The marathon running must helpful. After the match, the referee and one of the opposition players asked me my age because "you can run a lot."

Drinks

Question: How do people run and carry drinks?

I normally hold my keys in one hand and my mobile phone (for timing and emergencies) in the other. Obviously it's not a problem whilst treadmill running but it is a problem when you are running outdoors (especially in the day!)!

Botanical Gardens Run

From: Greenlane
To: highest point in the Botanical Gardens via Youth Park

Length: 14.6km
Time Taken: 1hr 32mins

This was actually supposed to be a 2 hour run but it seems that I am faster than I thought! My other problem was that I wasn't carrying any water and in a daytime outdoor run in humid Penang which I suspect is slightly dangerous. However my mobile phone (also acting as a timer) would provide some sort of assistance - providing I hadn't passed out! I was tempted to ask passing tourists if they could spare some water but decided against coming off as a loony. The only 'people' I talked to were the monkeys at the youth park - and that was to give them fair warning so they wouldn't attack me!

I decided to deviate my planned run after receiving a sms from my friend, Michelle asking when I was going to pick up some of the cake that she had made. So I told her I was running to her place (in order to save future time and petrol) and she was mighty surprised when I actually turned up all sweaty. Thankfully she had a glass of water for me and I ran for the first time whilst carrying some cake. I decided to drop it off home first - the thought of getting attacked by hungry stray dogs didn't bare thinking about.

I was watching the Barcelona vs Dynamo Kiev replay whilst running, hoping it would mask my pain. Forgot Shevchenko was back at Kiev and Barcelona were fortunate the linesman flagged for offside in the last minutes of the first half after the white shirts found the back of the net. I also found that I run better if there is a change of pace - my body didn't take the shorter, 'slower' run very well but seemed to prefer the longer varied run instead.
