10K Run
Ran another 10k tonight, my 3rd time since last week. I recall that my legs were tired for close to a week after my 10K run last year, but now I seem to be able to recover in just 2-3 days. It’s good to see improvements. I can now seem to consistently finish a 10k […]

Running Resumed
Finally resumed running again, the last time I ran was a 10k race back in Nov. 2011! Since I haven’t ran for such a long time, I took it easy and just ran a little bit over 3km. Will try to slowly climb back up to running 10k, and hopefully I’ll be able finish it […]

Soccer
Was dragging my feet walking home after soccer tonight. Realized I haven’t done any exercise for a few weeks already, was out of breath, out of shape, very exhausted tonight. It’s starting to feel slightly cooler at night now, it’s about time for me to pick up jogging again, but need to buy myself a […]

New Year’s Resolution 2012
A review of my last year’s resolution revealed that I’ve only completed 4/10 of my resolutions, a failing grade. I wouldn’t consider it a total failure though as many items were still in progress or on the verge of completion. I still insist on making my New Year’s Resolution this year because “…the trouble with […]

10K Run (Completed!)
Woke up at 6am in the morning to prepare myself for my first ever 10K run, happy to say that “I’ve made it!”. It was an interesting experience to have so many people running with you, the atmosphere was filled with tremendous energy. My official time is 64’17”, a personal record, but still way below […]

10K Run (Training) – 6
Don’t want my muscles to be too cold entering the 10K run this Sunday, I pushed myself to do one last training tonight. Ran ~5K, felt ok, and my “injured” left toe didn’t seem to be too bothering me. A good warm up run. Still not certain that I can complete the run this Sunday, […]

10K Run (Training) – 5
I was determined to complete a 10K run before the training even started today, and I’m glad to say that I’ve made it! The average pace matched my lowest record, but I can work on that later, finishing the entire course without resting is all I ask for at this stage. This is definitely a […]

10K Run (Training) – 4
Just when I thought I may have the chance to finish a 10k run, my running distance (and consequently my confidence) took a dive for the first time in today’s training. I could barely finish 5 km, self-doubt was probably the main culprit. The 10k run is next Sunday, would I stand a chance of […]

10K Run (Training) – 3
Jogged for ~8km this afternoon, my longest run to date! Slowly building up my confidence to finish the 10k run next weekend… During the long jog, I started to think of life as a long marathon run – difficult at first, but become smoother as your muscles are warmed up, and the test of perseverance […]

10K Run (Training) – 2
Dragged myself outside for my second training session. I’m not sure if it’s because of the stuffy weather, the run didn’t seem to be as comfortable this time. I was almost sure I can train myself to challenge a half-marathon after the first training session, but today, I doubt that I can even finish a […]
