The day we’ve all been waiting :)
It’s Friday. Yay! I should drop by Cold Storage and buy a TGIF chips later eh! :) I love TGIF potato skin chips by the way!! They are delicious!! I introduced the TGIF snack to some friends and my sister and they loved it too hehe. You should try it if you haven’t! :D
What are your plans for the weekend? Well tomorrow, Saturday, I am waking up at 6 am for my long run — 23 km. I haven’t done it last week as my friend was sick and I was lazy to run alone hehe. After the run, if I still have some energy left, I will do the weekly household chores. Ah, I also want to make some buttermilk hotcakes. I bought a buttermilk not long time ago.
I am using my Polar watch (a heart rate monitor sport watch) again after almost 3 years!!! This is how long I haven’t participated in running events too! The watch was kept in the drawer all this time, waiting for me to change its batteries. I finally got them changed last week and I got it back yesterday — I was worried that the batteries had leaked but they didn’t. Of course I had to test it out this morning! I woke up at 06:00 am and started to run at 06:11 am. Good easy run.
Distance: 10 km
Time: 55 minutes
Average Heart Rate (HR): 150 beats per minute (bpm)
Calories burnt: 425 kcal
I’m just using the basic Polar model - the F6 – which is enough for me as I only look at the heart rate readings. I don’t even use the In-Zone function. I can actually do well without the watch. The husband wants a Polar watch too!

TGIF chips?? I’ve never seen those before but the name appeals to me. haha
I haven’t been out running yet. Feeling too lazy. :P Maybe I should just run down the stairs for a start. I live on the 24th floor. :P

You should try!! It’s not like those thin chips … it just taste different. It’s a bit salty and that’s why I like haha :P
Wow 24th floor! Is it the top floor or there are more? What do you see from the window? Yeah, it’s a good idea to run to the stairs! I do this sometimes. Run up to the top floor and take the lift back before running up again. It’s a great cardio workout especially when it is raining outside! — but be careful if you have knee problems.

Wow even without having tasted the TGIF chips, I just know they are yummy! Something with such a nice name definitely has to be good, right? :D Hahah!
We don’t have these in Mtius… as usual!
Hope you enjoy your week-end :)

We have the TGIF snack but not the TGIF restaurant. The snack was introduced not long time ago and available are only a few places. If I remember, I saw the very first packet about 1.5 years ago. They are more expensive than those regular snacks like doritos etc.
