Finally after almost 2 months, I have found a slight inspiration to blog. This is going to be a short post anyway because there is just not much things to rant about. Well for one, CIty2Surf is in 10 days' time. How have I prepared? It's really difficult because we are currently experiencing winter and it's no ordinary winter I must say. Rain comes and goes, wind can blow up to 100km/hr, even the sun plays tricks on our delicate skin. So many excuses, so little time. I bought myself a pair of nike shoes and marinaded my feet into them for almost a week now. They felt really comfortable and I'm quite confident that this pair will last me at least a year. I also pushed myself to run around the neighbourhood for the very first time in months last Tuesday. I was actually quite surprised that I was still able to maintain my endurance levels. I'm guessing that badminton does help in some ways. But anyhow, I ran a total of 6.7km in 35mins which is nowhere near the 14kms half marathon next coming Sunday. Today however, I managed to rack up 7.7kms in 40mins. A slight improvement but I will expect a daunting task of facing an uphill battle midway through the run. The bright side that I can foresee has to be the fact that I was entered into a competitive group. We are called the 'Panadol Rapid' group which would start second, 10minutes after those invited runners. The winner finished the race in 43mins. 2 years ago I completed the race in 79mins. I hope to better in a notch this time around. Wish me luck everyone!
