Personal note to what I wish to buy

1) Oakley shades, ~$320
to pose, and to protect my eyes from the uv (great excuse to overspend)

2) Mizuno cap, $15.90
to look good at night, and to keep core body temperate up on cold nights

3) Moleskine Daily planner/diary, $39 at borders
i'm sure there will be places selling cheaper than borders. i want to keep track of my life daily from next yr on. would be fun to read how i grew daily, what i encounter. this diary looks good so i'll prolly write something everyday. would serve also as a running log. writing online is never fun as i am constantly wary of judgment ppl might pass, so i only write cautiously.

4) Weapon and extra set of thick gi, ~$130
training purposes. hai ll have to buy. not priority.

You get punished for being slack

Just recovered from my sickness, fully, and tried to run again in school today. Experience was ok but chiobu never turned up. I tried following the 13-week training program, which started off with running 1 min, rest 2 min x 12, and I sticked through with that for today's session. But was really slow. Only complete like 200m within all the 1 min that I ran. If super interpolated, would mean i'm doing my 2.4k at 12min or even longer. Sian..

I want to be faster, last long and get my resting heart rate to be sub-50. (hypothetical aims)

I also experience my first running antic today. I went to subway, covered with sweat, and order a wrap. The 'sandwich maker' was freaking meticulous about making my wrap, in mild fear that she might add something fattening that might ruin my earlier training. Seems really funny. To me at least.

Tiring feetssss

Luckily I didn't commit to running on my first running log post. I got the chance to try out my new shoes only just now. The shoes were responsive, light but I don't find the support thorough. Overall, its a very good investment provided I can sustain this interest. Hopefully next year, with proper training, I can run/walk full marathon (maybe?) with the MPU gang.

I broke up my jog today into 9 separate rounds around the track. I varied my steps, trying to discover ways to reduce stress on my right knee. My right leg is working harder than my left currently. Don't really wish to overstrain my knee for running to a point I can't even walk when im damn old. My stamina suck too. I can't maintain even short distance, therefore I need to run more regularly and lose more weight to make my runs easier. (edit: my tights are suffering stinging pain and ache from the startup run. must work my muscles more to let them get used to the pain)

Anyw, running on Friday is rewarding because there was an eye-candy at the track. She was quite cute, but she seems older than me. She was training for her sprints and she looked really intimidating with her spikes. Had to act act a bit to prevent her from finding out that im one lazy fat ass who just started 'running'. Will be going to track next week to see whether she is a regular.

Running seems to be able to generate fun. Shall run more to find out.

Alienation

Don't think anyone still reads my blog so I decided to convert this into a running log - that will record my progress in running. For skeptics who think that my temporary enthusiasm for running will run its course like this blog, you're probably right. Even I myself am not confident that I will keep up with my resolution. Will do running for as long as I can, because I am now 75kg, obese and apparent meaty. Need to do something for my health. I am never good at running long distance. This attempt to be good at something that I suck in will be a challenge to me.

I bought a new pair of shoes today. Own it to my sponsor, my mum. And my creditor, my sis. If startup works well, I'll get more accessories. Need to invest more time in photog too. What I need now is a smaller camera that I can carry to anywhere to sharpen my composition skill.



Will be updating soon. Soon..
