014. Another Update on Running
So on Sunday, I hit another achievement in my running exercise. About a month or so since I ran my first 5k, I was able to run my FIRST 6K!! Whoo hooo. Go me!! On top of that, my average pace was also the faster ever (I have never been able to run below 8 min/km). I am so proud of myself. One kilometers at a time, Ami! And I know that I can hit that 10k in the future.
In the meantime, I found that thinking about running definitely geared me up in the morning. I mean, nowdays, I think about how long should I run today, or which route to take today, or whether to hit a distance goal or a time goal ... my brain is busy planning and it feels good. I can understand why people can say that running is addictive. I still have my rest days of course, or time when I feel too lazy to pick up my sport shoes and go outside. But always a day after that, my brain is thinking about running again.
You know what, this actually brings me into a goal that I want to achieve for next year. I want to enter a 5k running race :). I can do it, right?
