Nellie: (Long Delayed) Week 1 Run

Weather was good.
Left work on time.
Reached home before it got dark.
No CNY business to take care off.
No shoe shopping with Siew Li.

Finally!


And so I went for my first run :D Hehehhehe.

Well to be fair to myself, I've actually started my "training" sometime before we had discussion about our group marathon. Basically what I was doing was run up and down the road in front of my house. Since it's a slightly sloped road, I would run up the "slope" and speed walk down the road. Not sure if it's the best way to develop a stamina, but there was no other way about it since I was/am in such bad shape.. I couldn't manage anything more strenuous than that.

But anyways! Back to my run yesterday, my first official run after our whole discussion about group marathon (btw, have I told you guys that I think it's such a brilliant idea? :D). Shaun and I went running around-ish my housing area.

Distance: Unknown (I'm guessing it was probably about 1.5 to 2 km?)
Total time: Unknown (Oops! Forgot to keep track, but I'm guessing it was about 20 minutes? Actually to me it felt like eternity.. I felt like I wanted to die)
Average speed: No idea (But according to Shaun, I was "slow")

Throughout the distance I paused a few times, so my stamina is still in pretty bad shape :(
I didn't manage to stretch after running; I was too beat. But we went to kick around a ball a bit after that, so I guess that was good :D
