…run more…

I’m a bit disappointed with myself yesterday because I failed to rouse myself up at the set time. Yes, I overslept. I did not even hear my alarm went off. I must have been so dead to the world. I ‘m supposed to run.

This morning, fortunately, I was awake at once when the  alarm sounded. Though I was a bit disoriented at first, then I remembered that I will  head out. I took a shower in record time then gulped some coffee while I dressed. I set the alarm fifteen minutes early so I could be at the track at exactly four. I got there twelve minutes past four.

I’m glad that there was no rain this morning. I was walking very fast toward the track. Then I saw this woman walking with her dogs and that prompted me to walk even faster. A few meters ahead, I saw a man, also walking with his dogs. I walked faster even more. I tried to put as much distance from them. I had this scary thought- what if the leash will slip off their hands? I can’t imagine what will I do.

So much for my “encounter” on the street. After I put my bag at the usual spot, I started running at once. I had long since get rid of my usual one lap walking as my warm up. I was hoping to shoot for six miles but managed only five. Not bad for PG. :D It’s the longest distance I ran so far since I started running.

the first of the many more to come ;)

I decided not to take a crack at making plans for my running anymore. I used to make plans but it just went down the drain. I want to look forward to my runs as something I’d enjoy doing ( no matter how painful it could be afterward). I don’t want it to be something that I “had” to do, per se. I told myself not get so work up to churn out the required mileage I consider fit.

Anyway, I had a great run this morning. :) But I was so hungry afterward that when I got home, I immediately munch on a banana and wash it down with water. I did some stretching then changed into dry clothes.

Till my next morning run. :D


Wobble on Panda. :)
