Nellie: Week 4 (Run 1)

Tuesday evening, 3rd March. There were freaking ominous looking clouds in the skies, but still I braved home as early as I could to.... RUN! :D

Actually I almost couldn't make it as I had a rather bad gastric attack just before the run. But I went anyways. Funnily enough the pain disappeared during the run.

Ran the slope-y route within SS17 with Shaun. This time around, I had my iPod with me. Initially I found the music a lil disruptive as it threw my tempo off a bit, but I managed to get into rhythm with my breathing soon enough.

Distance: 1.21 km
Total time: 9:06 minutes
Average speed: 7.98 kmph

I managed to run through the course again, with no pause/stop whatsoever :D It felt better than the previous time. Every time I felt like stopping, I reminded myself of the really hot Indian girl (I saw during the TTDI group run) and how I want to have legs as slim and toned as hers :D I pushed myself ahead also by thinking of how amazed I was, reading about this 5 month pregnant lady who ran 10 km marathons :O

*motivated*

Anyways, tomorrow we're going running again, this time the perimeter of the SS17 housing area. I'm also going to work on my breathing; inhale and exhale in shorter durations. Hopefully I would be able to push myself to run through the course.

Our race in approximately 10 days' time :D
