Running
Debated whether to do my running practice this morning because it was raining very lightly. Ended up doing a short run (~6k) on the wet running track. I like running on Tuesday mornings, it seems to help start my work week on the right track.
Running
Slow, exhausted, but nonetheless thankful that I kept my promise to run 10k today! Note to self: don’t eat too full the night before.
Running
Did another running practice this morning. The sun was shining and hot, I couldn’t run long, only managed to complete slightly more than 5k, speed slightly improved though.
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 […]
Soccer
The black rain had come and gone quickly in the late morning, it was a blessing that I could play soccer in the evening without the slightest hint of rain. The last time I played the sport was back in September, if not earlier. It felt good to be back on the field playing with […]
First Run
Did my first run this year, covered about 5 km in 40 minutes. Broke some sweat in the sunny (but not too hot) afternoon, it’s my stupid attempt to respond to the Sunday sermon of being the salt and light of this world! =) This is actually my first run since I recovered from the […]
