I started to plan my training program for PBIM 2010 right after SCKLM. LSDs are held on Saturdays as I wanted Sunday to be a day to spend time with my family. Being a 16-week program, the 1st LSD was fixed on 7 Aug 2010.
I have this group of friends (Choi, Jamie, Frank, Lawrence, Andrew, Jeff, Luc & Azam) who also run on Saturdays. Although it is very seldom that we have a full house, we usually have at least 3 runners on any Saturday. But the past 11 weeks has been exceptional. Due to family matters, work commitments, fasting month, etc, my friends have not been able to run on Saturdays on a regular basis. Consequently, I ran with different partner(s) each week and I realised that this made me a better runner. As my friends have different strengths, I guess some of their strengths must have rubbed off on me. With a little help from my friends in the past 11 weeks, I think I will have a great outing in PBIM 2010.
