2023-06-13T1550H UTC+8: Braving The Heavy Rains for The Runs
Last Friday the 40km weekly mileage run was completed amidst the heavy rain and occasional road flooding that I had to cross. The last 10km for that week was a fartlek run for the speed workout.
Heavy rains still punishing the region (and probably the whole island of Luzon) but I need to start running again for this week's 40km weekly mileage run.
Long-slow-distance run of 10km today.
2023-06-09T1345H UTC+8: Completing the 40km Weekly Mileage Run Today
I did another 10km long-slow-distance run last evening and that leaves me with an 8km for the speed workout and remaining 2km for long-slow-distance to complete the 40km weekly mileage run this afternoon. I'm thinking of doing a fartlek instead.
Weather temp is 32C but feels like 40C and it's raining.
2023-06-06T2339H UTC+8: 10km Run
After realizing my mistake in the route distance for the runs I have adjusted the runs and yesterday and today I did a 10km run in the long-slow-distance mode and it felt good.
2023-06-04T1150H UTC+8: Wrong Distance Estimate
I got the baywalk road distance wrong since I got here in my mothers place.
The supposed 10km runs were actually 8km runs and the supposed 8km runs were actually 5km runs. I realized this mistake after getting the actual distance of my route from google maps.
So for the 10km runs I need to extend the distance from my place past the capitol until the end of the baywalk road that leads to Binmaley and then go back the same route will cover a 10km distance.
For the 8km runs, I need to run up to the current end of my recent runs one way and then come back but get way past my place and end up on Limahong center and then come back to my place.

Did an 8km run today.
2023-05-28T2036H UTC+8: Evening Martial Arts Practice
Did a martial arts practice this evening instead of the long distance running.
Practice Kalis Ilustrisimo on short on the right arm only then did the sayoc knife on the left hand and the navy seal knife on the right arm after which I practiced empty hands striking using the northern seven star first road praying mantis and finally the 3 battles form.
There are other stuffs that I was not able to do and I stopped just in time when the rain started to pour.
The practice area is a dark place outside my sister's home but still within the land area owned by my mother. There are lots of trees, shrubs, and plants around and I had to endure the mosquito bites while doing the martial arts practice in the dark.
2023-05-28T1907H UTC+8: 30°C & 71% Humidity
The sun has set and the current weather temperature in the locality is 30°C with 71% humidity.
I am thinking if I will do the evening run or do martial arts instead.
2023-05-28T1219H UTC+8: 8km Run Before the 2nd Jum'ah At The Fabled Princess Urduja's Province
I managed to do an 8km run under the heat of the sun at 33°C with 70% humidity which feels like 38°C. The run was at around past 0900H before the Jum'ah prayer at noon in the local mosque.
2023-05-24T2006H UTC+8: 8km Run
Did an 8km run today detouring from my place on the way to the baywalk because of the flooded part of the road from my place directly to baywalk I had to run on a detour route on a resort. I was hurrying a bit while doing the long-slow-distance (LSD) run because of the lighting I am seeing from afar. Fortunately I was able to finish the run without being struck by lightning.
2023-05-22T2209H UTC+8: Yesterday's Limahong Center & Capitol Beach Run 10km, Today's Coastal Swim & Run, and Cold Steel G.I. Tanto Gone
Yesterday I did a 10km Long-Slow-Distance LSD run. I had to detour from the main route because a part of the road leading to the baywalk beach was flooded which is around 10m in distance and my running shoes will be soaked in it. I detoured on a nearby resort route leading to the baywalk beach and then went straight to the capitol beach and went back up to Limahong Center and when went back to the resort and back to my mother's place. Had inner thigh cramps on the right side and the run was difficult due to heat and humidity.
Today I went to do a short swim along the coast line and continued the run up to the capitol beach and back to my place.
I lost my Cold Steel G.I. Tanto Knife. It was tied on my waistline but my mistake is to transfer it to the harness of my net backpack that was holding my outdoor Merill shoe, and a set of electrolyte drinks. and my swimming fins. the knife with the scabbard fell straight to the bottom but I can't find it because the bottom was sandy and a bit blurred. It was taken by the sea. Lesson learned. Fix all stuffs before going to the water because once you are there, anything that falls down can disappear for good.
