Running Update

To make up for the pig week I had last week, I ran on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Three days in a row! My timing is slightly down and I felt like shit after the run (which was slower than the previous two runs on the same route), but I'm not overly concerned. A week or two of running should put me back on track.


Mon: --- 4.8 km --- (8.1 km/h)
Tue: --- 4.5 km --- (10.1 km/h)
Wed: --- 7.2 km --- (9.8 km/h)


I've realised that it is easiest to train up in a gym. During my two week free stint at the gym, I managed to do some stuff that I've only dreamed about. Too bad I don't earn enough to get a credit card that gets me into the gym for free. I've been at my company four years and I spent four years in a university for a double degree overseas and I still don't earn enough to get a credit card. Damn it lah.

Smarts don't get you anywhere, you know that? Only ambition. Oviously I'm channelling all my ambition into running.

There are worse things to channel ambition into.

I feel the same guilt when I don't run for a while. Since July it's been bad --- 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. Plus this week I was ill, yet eating plenty of Ruffles and chocolates nevertheless.

I shall atone next week!! For sure!!

And keep up the good work yourself. 7.2km --- respect!
