Breakthrough

I have not been consistently upgrade myself with wordpress. Been busy throughout the entire week trying to settle down at work and also cleaning up the condo where my parent use to stay. Nevertherless, I never skip my running time. consistantly running 3-4 times a week to maintain fitness. The last past sundays I have been trying to breakthrough 3 hours of running and out of those 3 weeks, I was able to run beyond 3 hours last sunday. The feeling was good but I wasn’t satisfied as I was struggling and forcing myself to breakthough the 3 hours.

This morning?… I tried to make another breakthrough but Failed, as approaching 2 hours, I was exhausted. I didn’t want to just stop and go home, so I decided to go for a 5k hike a steep hill. The only place where I could do a combination of road, hill and trail runs is at FRIM ( Forest Reserved Institute of Malaysia) which covers aproximately 10k for a big loop (road and trail) and 5k (road alone) for the smaller loop. One of these sundays I’ll take some photos of FRIM. as I do not have a handy camera yet.

I have 2 weeks and 1 more sunday (for my long run) to go before the Standard Charted. I can’t tell how will it go, but Im glad that my body is well adjusted to the humidity in Kuala Lumpur. The routes of the event are familiar as one section of it passess through my condo.

For the remaining weeks. I plan to do my speed run at a stadium near my work place. Will test my speed for 800meters. I haven’t done 800meters for many years. In College, I won the 800meter onces and twice for 400meter. I’ll try if I still can keep a fast pace as during my college days. This will be a test speed run for me.
