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 […]

Running
The weather was a bit too cold to run for the last couple of weeks, it warmed up a bit recently and I resumed my training. Ran the same distance (~12k) and unexpectedly with the same amount of time. I’m hoping to train up and run my first half-marathon in 2014. Had been a little […]

Running
Didn’t have time to run last week, made up for it this week. Ran ~11k, trying again to slowly build up my stamina for a half-marathon.

Running
Went running this afternoon, jogged for ~12k without resting, my longest running distance yet! Speed was a little slow, but I can work on that later after I’m able to reach the targeted half-marathon distance. On my walk home, I thought about what was said about achieving your dreams from my previous devotional plan. If […]
