Run run!!

:: Run run!! ::

Went jogging last evening.
Finally manage to jog 10rounds of the stadium w/o stopping after 1mth of building up.
For those who do not knw the stadium well, 1round = 400M , 10rounds X 400M = 4KM.
This may not be a very long distance for many pple. But it is an achievement for myself. I've never been a long distance runner even when i was an athlete back in Sec. I was more of a sprinter and my coach sighed when he had to trained me for long distance. I have not been jogging/running since i fell sick in Poly, not considering those occasional jogs that last for less than 20minutes in the park. It feels good to be back on the tracks again with my heart pumping fast as i rub off the beads of sweats on my nose. Thanks to Jef, i began picking up my jogging routines when he "psycho" me to join the Mizuno Run in May.





The Mizuno Run is for charity purposes (i really dun remember what it was exactly for). It was held on 22JUNE at Bedok Reservoir. - hehe.. need to backtrack again. XQ and I took part in the 5KM fun run, while Elvin and Jef took the 10KM Men Competitive run. I started building up myself and thk god i manage to complete the 5KM run with jogging + abit of walking. I was very frustrated with the run and didnt really njoy myself. Firstly, it was a rainy day and the reservoir was muddy and wet. The organisers did a bad planning on the routing and startoff. Within minutes the whole place was flooded with more than 800 participants and we were force to stroll. When the run was completed, the goody bag queue was chaos and the van that took our belongings was in a mess. Everyone had a hard time locating their bags.
The organisers for the event really cannot make it lohr.. sighs..

Anyway, i have signed up for the GREAT EASTERN WOMEN'S RUN in OCT. Hope that the run will be much organise and will be more fun. I manage to get Abby,Cindy and her fren to join me. Its about 2 more mths before the run, im going to build up myself and increase my speed alittle. I want not only to complete the 5KM run but with a little speed as well. Its all in the mind ....
