Running
Completed 14K, my longest run ever!! That’s 2/3 of a half-marathon, 1/3 more to train up in a month’s time… Running long distance doesn’t seem as bad when I run slowly at my own pace.

Running
Planned to do a 7k practice run this morning, but could only run 4k, felt defeated. I think there were 2 possible reasons for the upset, one was that I got ambitious and used up a lot of the strength at the beginning of the run, and second was the scorching sun. It was 30 […]

Running
Ran about 8k, doubled the distance when I first started running 2 weeks ago! The slightly cooler weather seems to help. Still a long way from running a half-marathon, but I believe I’m making good progress!

Running
Increased the training distance a little more and completed a 7K run this morning. Didn’t seem as dreadful and exhausting as I thought, I actually experienced brief moments of joy during the interval recovery laps. I suppose it’s impossible to keep a habit or any long term endeavour going if it doesn’t encompass the slightest […]

Running
Although getting up slightly late, I managed to drag myself into my second running practice this week. Ran about 6K, really exhausted. I kept asking myself why I signed up for the half-marathon, I think partly because I wanted to prove to myself that I’m completely recovered from my major illness at the beginning of […]

Running
The run last Thursday was too tiring, I had to skip the scheduled practice on Saturday. Started off this week’s training with a 5K run in the morning, 1K more than last Thursday’s run. It wasn’t easy, I had to keep telling myself not to give up in the last few laps. All this mental […]

Running
Signed up for my first half-marathon earlier, the run date is set on January 17th. With about 12 weeks to go, I kick started my training this morning. Noting my last run was already back in June, I took it lightly and ran only 4K, felt exhausted but in a good way. I’m thinking it […]

Monday Artist
I want to be a Monday Artist, dedicating one day each week to learn, practice, be inspired, and simply enjoy Art! It’s like playing the 6th player on a basketball team, always kept in shape, warmed up, and ready to contribute to the team while the key players rest. It’s a bit of a luxury […]
