YAY! Finally I Jogged!

I am pleased with myself!
Very pleased! YAY!!!!

Finally dragged my ass outta the house to jog... even after work, even before work!
YES YES YES!!!
The big question is :"Fat Ass, How long do u think u can keep up with it!?!"

Well, 7Dec is coming... in fact in a month's time... the last thing I really wanna do is to fall flat at the finish line.... or worst, require medical attention (no matter how cute the medic is! NOoooo!!!). To go for something unprepared? Noo nooo no way! So not my style... this is not ME!!
So I really need to drag my fat ass out! Get Fresh Air! Sweat it out!

Ok, the last time I trained for my Sprint Triathlon, the bike computer indicated that the distance from my place to Bedok Reservoir carpark, approx 3km.

So I started on 5Nov Tues morning (off day)...
This comes to my mind when I recall what happened:
1st: chuiz...
2nd: Chuiz...
3rd: CHUIZ and F**King CHUIZZZZ!

Journey To:
-Almost DIE-D! Please tell my Papa I love him!
-I melted under the 9am SUN! OMG! What happened to the rainy weather that we were experiencing the few days ago?!! Damn!
-Managed to reach the carpark in 5/7 piece but totally breathless!

Journey Fro:
-Jogged/walk abt 2km, walked 1km back... CMI!
Total Time taken: 1hr FLAT! F**K!
For the rest of the day, I was limping around, my left knee threatened to kiss the ground as if it was holy! I was in Pain... so much so that I wore my faithful PHITEN Titanium band around my knee when I slept and the whole of the next day at work (under the cover of my pants of course!)

My Trusty PHITEN!

I love my PHITEN!

Cost me $65 to get it!!!!

But YAY! It works!

6Nov Wed, reached home only ard 8.30pm. Vacuumed the room, cuddled my cats and left the house.

Since the pain subsided around late afternoon, I decided that I will jog again at night. Undeterred, I planned to go really slow, enjoy the process and not look at the watch.
Surprise surprise!

Journey To:
-Fairly easy, surprising!
-Managed to reach the carpark in a very decent 1 BIG piece and I still have me Lungs! WOW!

-Couldnt resist to read the watch! 19mins! Not too bad!

1min rest
Journey Fro:
-Felt the steps lighter and the strides bigger! Very comfortable!
-15mins! Good!
Total Time taken: 35mins! Wow! I am proud of myself!

7Nov Thurs, knee alittle sore, but ok. Rushed home from work. Started out at 9pm.

Journey To:
-Alittle strained. Mayb not enough warm up (rushing to meet Sui)!
-Managed to reach the carpark in 19mins, decent timing...
Journey Fro:
-Jogged with Sui around Bedok Reservoir (4.3km), took us 31mins! I would consider good timing! YAY!

I figured 2 impt factors affecting my timing:

1) Time of run - Night time is more cooling, plus the whole day's walking around etc have already warmed up the muscles!

2) Pressure to perform - Buddy system! Must push each other!

Aim:

To complete 2 X rounds of Bedok Reservoir continuously, DUN STOP!! To achieve by end of week 2 training! This will be an achievement for me as I have been wanting to do that since poly days..... 10years ago?! OMG! 10 yrs ago I was younger and fitter and yet I did not achieve it! Can I do it this time?! the furthest I have ever run before in my life was 8km when I was at OCS! The renowned SAFTI ENDURANCE RUN nicknamed "ROLLER COASTER RUN", 8km!

Soya, Must do it YAY! For SCB Half Marathon! Jia You!

This is it! It's THE moment!

I whipped out my trusty $230 POLAR F11!

Please help me! =D
