Time to train up for NIKE'S THE HUMAN RACE 10K:)

I was so spurned on by the FITNESS magazine about the story of how Condoleezza Rice - Secretary of State insisted on working out because she liked the feeling of fitness, be able to train her mental discipline, be able to fit into her clothes and the ability to focus after a morning workout that I was asking myself why do I have to wait till tomorrow to start training for my first NIKE'S THE HUMAN RACE 10K and not right now? She also said, "One of the good things about sports is that you can train and work and work, and you go out there, and something goes wrong, and you have a terrible performance. You still have to get up the next day and go back and train and train some more. It's a lot like almost everything in life." She also admitted that she is not an automaton and also experience reluctance to exercise and have to push herself just like anybody else - this shows that reluctance is a natural thing and never an indication of laziness!.

I was so motivated that I immediately changed and striped into my sport shoes. The beginning was difficult as usual but I was telling myself that 10km is my goal and giving up so easily is not an option. The last two km was so tiring that I lost sight of my 10km motivation and finally resorted to distract myself my counting the number of steps I jog - which works pretty well for me by pushing me further. These are all that goes through my mind when I jog as it's simply too tiring to think of anything else. How about you guys? What is going through your mind when you jog or run? After mostly jogging, some running and walking, I had completed 5.2km++ in 44 mins. The timing is pretty lousy but it's a good start considering I haven't been jogging for some time. Sorry Wy for not asking you to jog along since my decision was rather last minute. Actually jogging alone is pretty fun as you can set your own pace according to your physical conditions for the day and it's a good 'me' time. Though jogging with a friend is another kind of fun.

I have decided to train for three to four times a week since it's the holidays and I can spare the time. However, if reluctance kicks in hard and I fall off the wagon, I've left some room for myself in order not to feel like a failure unnecessary. So guys, let's train together for the race in two months time:) Yay! If there's any more people who's interested, please do join me:)

Lastly, I had lost my wallet yesterday probably at Orchard but I only realised it today! Inside contains my POSB Go card, neoprints with my best buddies and other miscellaneous - which I've forgotten what those are but hopefully was just some useless junk. Luckily, my nets is empty...lol, see how poor I am. I am so totally careless but what's done cannot be undone and so I've totally get over it by now:)
