Blog setahun sekali

I find myself lazy to post entries because:
  1. who needs a blog when u have facebook? With facebook, it's so much easier to flood your friends with every menial activity you are up to. I'm cooking this, i'm here, there, i'm having dinner with so and so, please come visit my new shop....honestly, who gives a crap?
  2. I've ran out of things to write about - visits to the doctors have become less frequent
  3. I want to write about my runs, but after my runs i am usually just too tired to bother.

Maybe i'll start again by recording my thoughts about my runs.

I'm running the Energizer Night Race in April. 11km. I'm hoping to be able to run it in 1 hour 40 minutes. Slow, you think? I'm just being realistic with my goals. My run results so far:
- 2010 Penang Bridge 10K - 1:36:34 (my watch recorded 1:30:00)
- Nike City Run 5K - 55:29

I attended a bootcamp session last saturday. My whole body ached for 3 days. There's another one tomorrow, but i decided to skip it and train on my own. Too much work to have to wake up at 6am lah.

Anyway, the plan from now to mid-feb is to build up my 5k endurance level, then i will start adding the mileage until the race day.

I'm nearing the end of my 3rd week of the 5K build up, so far i have given too much leeway to myself, skipping runs at any plausible excuse, e.g. Rain, weather too hot, dinner plans, broken computer, and a thousand and one other excuses.

So the plan for tomorrow is to cover 6.4km, and Sunday 10km. We'll see.
