5.2km run today =)

The title is self-explanatory.

I targeted to start hitting 5km in my running. Especially after i’ve decided on participating in the Passion Run, where i’m aiming for the 10km run.

Though i didn’t really plan to run today, but since there was a free slot at the last minute, the thing that just ran across my mind is to go for a run. And boy did i enjoy the run.

Usually when i run on the track, i will be very slow, as i’m getting physically ready to run. And not to forget the heaves of breathing and wanting to just walk. I get that all the time!!

And many a times, just when my momentum came, it was usually the time where the stadium closes!! And it’s quite frustrating actually.

Today, i aimed to reach the stadium at 7pm, and i did my run from 7.10pm to 8.05pm. And 13 rounds later, i’m glad to say that i’ve managed to run 5.2km! And i walked out of the stadium satisfied, and knowing that the stadium is still open when i walked out.

Maybe to some people, who are really veterans on the running track and on marathons, it’s really chicken-feet. But coming from someone like me, who can even faint from walking up Mount Faber, i know it’s a big effort for me.

And i’m gonna start counting down to the run, which will take place on the 22nd May 2010. And i’ll need to register for the run by end of this week before the early bird offer ends.

Looking forward to my next adventure on the track! =)
