Running
It’s been more than a month since I last ran. Ran for about 6k, felt like I could run more, but didn’t want to push myself. The evening temperature is finally beginning to fall below 30 degrees, it’s about time to train up myself again. Doubt that I can actually run a half marathon as […]
Running
Sometimes I liken running to shooting free-throws – it’s the same repetitive motion and the height and distance from the hoop is pretty much constant, but even though you’ve practiced a million times, the percentage made just can’t seem to improve much. I ran 10k this afternoon, just barely made it through, and the time […]
Running
Missed my weekly running session for the past weekend due to friends’ gatherings, the running bug was itching, so I went for an early evening jog tonight. Ran 10k, for some reason, breathing seemed particularly difficult and I seemed to be a bit more tired than usual tonight. It seemed like an appropriate time to […]
Running
Debated about running in the hot weather, finally decided to do an evening run after the sun was set. I wasn’t striving to break any record, but instead I just didn’t want my muscles to get lazy and forget what it feels like to run. Ran 10k in 64 minutes, not at all a satisfactory […]
Running
Apart from a little rain, the weather this evening was great for running. Ran a record 13k, and slightly faster than last time too! Furthermore, I’m starting to enjoy my run a little more, before it was mostly just training and hardship. Perhaps it is the extra endorphin production induced by exercising, or maybe I’m […]
Running (Jogging)
Managed to do a little work, watered my plants, and cleaned my aquariums today. I usually tend the living things at home on Sundays, but after reading Exodus, I’m now even more determined to let myself rest on Sundays. I even managed to do a little jogging at night. Since my mother was out, I […]
Running
It’s been more than 3 weeks since I last jogged, this is partly due to the rainy season and mainly due to my laziness. I could hardly keep up with my breathing and my mind was blank and couldn’t keep a thought going. Ended up with one of my poorest run ever – 10 km […]
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 […]
Running
Went running on a Sunday evening again. It seems like I’m regaining my stamina, I was able to complete 10k without resting, and it felt like I can keep on running for 1 or 2 more laps. My thoughts seem to be troubled about many things lately – career, relationships, family, social injustice… Those aren’t […]
Running & Self-Confidence
Went running this evening before the forecasted rainy days hit the city tomorrow. Was planning to run 10k, but was messaged by my friend about a badminton court being booked for tomorrow, so I just ran ~6k. The truth is, I probably couldn’t finish 10k even if I tried, a bit out of shape and […]
