It’s been a year since I started running in my Adizero CS shoes. It was time to get a new pair of shoes (see how old and ugly it has become?). I chose an Adizero CS again. Yep I like this model. I had a foot analysis last year and I was told that I have a neutral left foot and a right fore / mid foot strike type. My right leg pronates a little bit too.

I’ve been quite in the mood for running lately. Went to Yishun this morning and I did my own run while dar was coaching SprintDynamic athletes. I disappeared from Saturday’s centralised training for almost a year and wow there are many new faces now.

“Tonight we train at 7pm. See you at home.”

The boy sms-ed me this afternoon. My last run was 11 days ago. It’s become a bad habit. We start, we stop and then we start running again.

We started with a warm up session. I felt my muscle capillaries expanding as I warmed up. The itch went away soon after. Today we did 4 x 1km. He did his at his own pace and I did mine at my own pace, which was 4.27, 4.23, 4.17 and 4.15 per km. I haven’t done 1km interval for ages. Thank God I finished all sets. Once again I’m satisfied.

I managed to do 3 4 cardio sessions this week in the early AM/PM. Feels good to feel my heart pumping hard after each set.

Today marks the 4th week of my 3-month fitness and diet goal. My goals are simple: Just do regular runs, no more late night suppers (e.g order MacDonald @ 1am or buy fried spring chicken from the 24hr coffee shops that are just opposite my block) and to consume more fruits … Speaking of fruits, I still haven’t eaten the two kiwis & pears that my parents had left for me since last week! At times I don’t feel like eating fruits. Maybe I’m too lazy to peel them …

*Alarm rings*

“What time is it?” - I murmured.

He turned on the lights.

I looked at my phone, “It’s still 6.20am. Let me sleep till 6.30am. You can eat breakfast first.” - I grumbled again.

Five minutes later, I reluctantly got out of my bed and slowly put on my running attires. I was still half asleep but determied to go for a morning workout with him. We said we would train together at the stadium two times a week and today is only our first week.
