Wow...I could not believe before that I can do this but I have done it in "We Run Nike KL 2012" yesterday, a day before my 41st anniversary of my creation, completed my 10km non-stop run from start till finishing line in a public run !
Since the participation in the Adidas KOTR on 2nd October 2011, I had done 4 other public runs namely;
a) Penang Bridge Marathon 2011 - 21km
b) MPIB 2012 - 12 km
c) tHe Spring Run 2012 - 10km
d) Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2012 - 21 km
For the past 5 events, I have only done brisk walking after first 2km run. However, after my SCKLM 2012 on 24th June 2012, I started to run non-stop, beginning with low pacing at 9 minutes/km and after months of committed training, I could now run sub 6 minutes/km over a distance of 6km. However, it is still far from my target of consistently run 7 minutes pace over 21 km. I need to continue transforming myself, reducing my weight a priority too to enable lighter body mass to move easily.
This Nike Run is my public testing before my 3rd Half Marathon challenge at Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2012 on 2 December 2012. The carrot in front of me is "A free flow beer" if I could achieve below 2.45 hours.
It is fun running as it challenges me to keep fit, discipline and able to release a lot of emotional stress from my mind and body. It is also the cheapest form of exercise and I can just do it alone. I have a group of friends also doing the same and we are all linked through whatapps to motivate and update each other of our workouts and achievement.
Thank you, Lord for blessing me with good mental and healthy body.
Stay fit and be happy. Cheers !!
