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
Covered 10.5k today, still slow and tired, but felt considerably better than last week’s run. Running seems to bring out a little positive vibe in a world of terrorist attacks and melting icebergs… Stay strong everyone!

Running seems to help lift up the spirit when you feel a little low. Ran 7k with improved speed this morning.

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.

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.

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 […]
