After dinner, I took a bus/train to Bedok to deliver a birthday present to Claire's playmate Cayla and proceeded to run home via the route I take whenever I run home from work. Distance is slightly over 10K to loyang. It was a good run except I wish I'd taken a bottle of water with me. I saw many riders on the road near the Expo.. I can only look ( Read more... )

Suffice to say, tonight's session hurt but I LOVE the pain! I may be getting a free pass to the 21K run @ the Sundown Marathon in a couple of weeks. Will have a go at it and get myself into race mode.. i think =)

18/5 Wed
~ 4 x 1.6K (roughly 8mins - we ran in the outer lanes tonight so I don't really know the exact timing)

I need a massage ASAP!

It's been 4 weeks of regular running and I can feel the difference! Not once tonight did I have the urge to stop running.. I took exactly an hour and forty minutes to finish 15K and felt like I could still go on.. I'm so happy ( Read more... )

Woohoo! My 1st morning LR done! Hubs not in town this weekend so I decided to stay over at mom's - Claire gets to spend time with kong kong, por por and Chloe and I get to run to Pebble Bay! :) Running along the Tanjong Rhu connector is one of my favourite routes. This morning, there was a dragonboat team rowing along Geylang River toward Kallang ( Read more... )

Gave my legs a break last night and shelved the 12K LR for this weekend. I know I should keep to the schedule strictly but I figured as long as I complete my weekly workout it doesn't matter which day.. So far, since I drafted my training plan, i've kept up with it.. it's a tremendous motivation to continue doing so and I am mighty happy.. now the ( Read more... )

So glad we made it to shem's track session tonight.. a much tougher n longer workout than last week but I am mighty pleased.. I know I'd not likely complete the full workout on my own.. the poor legs are nuah now and I must see Linda at least once a week to iron out the kinks.. I feel like I'm getting back into the swing of things (minus the bike ( Read more... )

"Whenever I feel like I don't want to run, I always ask myself the same thing: You're able to make a living as a novelist, working at home, setting your own hours, so you don't have to commute on a packed train or sit through boring meetings. Don't you realise how fortunate you are? Compared to that, running an hour around the neighbourhood is ( Read more... )

Knowing my love for good books, hubs recently bought me two by Haruki Murakami.. Norwegian Wood and What I Talk About When I Talk About Running.. Hmmm.. a novelist-marathoner.. no prize for guessing which caught my interest more.. took the opportunity of a long train ride down town to meet shu for lunch and a long bus ride home after a massage with ( Read more... )

Woohoo! Finally finished the 15K run home.. I think the toughest stretch is from Tampines to Pasir Ris, when temptation to stop is at its height.. but tonight I told myself "If you don't finish on the 3rd try, you will keep finding reasons not to!" With a good PIAK on the backside, I pushed myself onwards.. till I reached the gates of Loyang Valley ( Read more... )
