I managed to complete my run today. I decided to jog together with GP. She's the ideal pacer for me - as she's a sprinter in the past - she wasn't training for long distance. And me coming back from my injury and so far 4km was the longest i ran.

And so as expected, we were relatively okay for our first 5km or so, then we went downhill from there. Hahahaha. She's having problem with her toe, i am having my set of problems with my operated ankle and shin splint.
And so we more or less adopted a "slow jogging" or "brisk walking", depends on how you see it, to the end point.

We took about 1 hr 52 mins to complete the 12km. Ya i know this timing is enough for many runners to complete 21km.

With due respect to GP, who i think can run faster despite her problem, she slowed down for me. But i didn't know that i am that bad at the moment. Even running at such slow pace, i am still struggling to cope with my injury. It's not very painful, but the pain never seems to go away. And i am so tired after the run.

I didn't even bother to find SGRunners after the run. I didn't want anyone to ask me the distance and the timing.

Feel quite demoralized. It's like a death sentence for me. I really dunno how can i go back to combat in 2-3 months time. Maybe i should just quit trying.
