8.30am
Bishan stadium

6 rounds outside
7 drills-2x each
high knee lift with cones(3 steps) x10
Bounding with cones(7 steps) x 10
5x300m but i did 4x300m

today, I'm really disappointed with myself for all sort of reasons.
First, I was late for training and then I kind of rushed through the 6 rounds but almost died at the 4th one..haix, and the list goes on...

The weather was really hot and i mean it. The high knee lift and bounding was really challenging-technique endurance...My technique wasn't that bad except that i have to keep my back straight(not to hunch[is that how you spell it??]) and I have to tuck my front leg and not let it hang loose..
All these technique endurance and everything set me thinking...I only have the technique and not speed,it won't bring me anywhere if only have technique and not speed...
I'm going to do more speed work!!
For the 300m,I can say that i did VERY,VERY BAD....i tried to feel the feeling of 'flying' like what ms poon has said for the bounding but I couldn't last,i couldn't lift my knees,i couldn't grab the track all because of my toe(not really my toe but a bunion which I'm having for quite some time),the pain has always been with me especially while sprinting or those schedule that needs me to use my ball of my foot to run or anything--the only thing to fight that pain is to land on the outer part of my feet which i can't during curves(or after curves)...
So,i tried to endure the pain by landing flat or on the heels which means that my technique will not be there,i can't grab and to make it worse is that we start at the 200m mark which means 2 curves,so after the first curve i had to change the way i landed and just tell myself to just finish it........I hate this feeling-it made me miss 2 proper hurdle trainings last year because i could not land or take off....

i really hope i can get a bunion guard or something so that I don't have to live with the pain anymore but it's almost impossible to get a bunion guard in Singapore and to get a customized shoe,it's just too expensive...if only i cant get that guard


so in all,i only rate myself with 1 and 1/2 stars....
