A 10km Time Trial @ Home

My next run was supposed to be Sunday's Milk Run at 3pm. That would mean a rest of 3 days before that run. I decided to do a quick 10km time trial on my own, since I had some time to spare.

I did a quick change into my New Balance gear n cap, which I just got at the NB store. I wanted to try with a cap on, and also run-in the new gear a bit. I did the usual 10km loop, wearing my Asics DS Trainers, the same pair I will wear for the MILK run. The first 4km was speedy, and I was ahead of my usual timings. But when I hit the main Upper Serangoon Road, I was overwhelmed by the smog of the peak traffic, as well as the no of traffic light stops. I slowed a bit here, but picked up pace again when I hit the Braddel Road stretch.

I finished the 10km with energy to spare. The timing of about 47min wasn't that bad either. I had a good starfruit juice drink which my dear Beverly bought for me.
