Got it in 16:46

Running at around 1:00 PM in a 5% uphill steep in the middle of the desert with a slight sand storm I was able to clock in a 3KM run in 16 min 46 sec to cover my stage in the Bahrain Marathon relay. It was slower than my training time (I usually clock in between 16 min to 16:30 but I didn't expect running in this type of condition having done most of my training during night time and a relatively level surface but more or less I run in a  stronger intensity.

Since I want to familiarize with the route of my stage what I did is for me to be drop off at the end of my stage and walk and slow jog to the start of the stage as my warm up (so more or less I did 6Km combination of walk,slow jog and run)

It was a fun day and I have a good time at the end of the race me and my teammates gather around and have a couple of Beer I also rewarded myself with my Favorite Pizza it will be back to low carbs diet and weight training next week.

Sunset at work

The picture above was shot from using my DSLR

After a days work there nothing more relaxing than looking at the sunset through my corner office window.
At this time of the year daytime are becoming shorter so I can witness the sunset before I leave the office.

Training for a race

The photo above will be the running shoes I'll be using for training and eventually for the race.

At the end of the month I'll be running again in a Marathon after 25 years, yes 25 years.The last marathon I run was a 5K during highschool.
Now I will run in a relay marathon were our company has entered a team it will be 16 stages were each stage is 3 km so in short it will be a 3K run for each person. Yah its just 3K but the objective of the is to finish it in 15 min or less if you will do the math you have to run with an average speed of 12 km/hr as for me thats the speed I'm running if I'm doing high intensity run
The last time I timed my run I was able to cover 3K in 17:30.
Right now I'm training for the race so its a mix of endurance run and power run for the next 4 weeks and some core works it means no weight training for the meantime.
