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 […]

Sickness
Mother got sick and couldn’t join my father for the planned short trip to Mainland this weekend. She felt better after my dad took him to see the doctor on Thursday, but she told me she caught a flu/cold this morning when I was just about to leave home to work. I was thinking about […]

Saturdays
Saturdays has become more and more routine these days. It usually starts off with me sleeping in with the alarm clock turned off, followed by the regular morning routine which includes a light breakfast while reading the daily news on my iPad. It’s usually early afternoon by the time I get back to the studio. […]

Doctor Visit
Checked in with the doctor yet again today, all signs from the blood test were normal. Will continue to lower my medication dosage weekly and then check in with the doctor again on 24th (this will be the last time if my blood test looks good then). Doctor said I can now carry on my […]

Day Off
Took a day off because I signed up to attend some seminars at my Alma Mater. The seminars starts at 11am, so I figured today would be a nice day to start a new routine of getting up early. Woke up at around 6:30am, had a light breakfast while reading the news, then I went […]
