URun 2012

Joined my first 10km today! Better to start small steps first, 21km last year was a shame, clocking at 4 hrs! Anyway, my aim for today was 1.5 hrs, and I did it! My finishing time was 1.28mins! Woohoo! If I jogged all the way, maybe even 1 hr 15mins!

After the 6km mark, I was sprinting for 1min, and then brisk walked for 4 mins... and I stopped at every hydration point... considering all these rests... 1.5 is not bad already right?!?

My next coming run is 21km, and I aim to complete in 3hrs!

I can do it!

I'm back to square one...

This is a good thing, after 3 months of sheer hard work, I lost 6kgs and that brought me back to my lightest since 13yo, 74!!! You all had no idea how pleased I was and how much more determined I am to shake 4 more kgs off by end of year!

My face is sharper, my pants are looser, even my feet is getting slimmer! I had a great sense of satisfaction when I pulled my belt, seeing the marks shifted in more the right every month! Shiok to the max!

I'm so in love with my body right now, but I know I can do better!

While in Korea I can't really jog, it is a good time for my body to relax a bit before making final dashes towards 21km in Dec!!!!

30", here I come!!!

I have a free gym instructor

I have really helpful friends! A guy was giving me tips on how to slim down my frame, train my stamina and reduce the size of my carrot legs!!!

To slim down frame: Circuit training. Dash 100m, rest 1 min (cool down), and dash 100m again. Repeat 4 times (That is 800m)

To train stamina and expand lungs for more air intake: breathe in through nose twice quickly and let it out through mouth.

To reduce my carrot legs: Need to apply a certain cream to convert the muscle to fat, and do leg raising exercise. Need more info on this and I'll update soon.

I believe this will work coz he used to be a trainer!!! Yeah! Free consultation!!!

Every km is a revelation

I believed it was my virgin 3.8km. The last long run was only one round that's all. Now I managed to pass the 3km milestone!!!

 The 1st km, it was a breeze for me now, as I anticipated the ache.

 By the 2nd km, I was trying to keep my breathing constant and make sure I don't pant too much. That way, I could really focus on my pace. My trick to keep myself breathing constantly was to breath in thru my mouth, and breathe out thru my nose. I could gulp more air this way.

 When I reached the 3rd km, I told myself, the ache won't go away even if I stopped, so I just pushed myself to jog even more. I already reached my goal distance, but I want to run more. So I kept jogging, keeping at constant pace, until I reached the other entrance of Yishnn Park. By then, all the aches were like part of myself, and I could run jog further. However, i decided to stop, so that there's room for improvement. I don't to demoralise myself in the next run should I unable to attain the achieved record.

I am just so happy now, I love exercise!!!
