The big 5

I had not been updating my blog for such a long time. I wanted to resume my blog after reading my old blogs. So many memories being rekindled and it made me feel it's important to continue it as a journal which my family and I can look back. Not so much for achievement but for fond memories to cherish.

One of the memory is on 23 June 2019. And this is the story....

It felt like a tremendous efforts to drag my feet to complete my very first 5km mileage in a single run. I am that glad I did it. Not easy but satisfying. I know I just started running only recently. But I just wanted to try it out. 

I ran along a new route after studying it. This include climbing at hill to a nearby reservoir. 

Breaking into 6km

After running past 5km I was inspired to give it a go to clock in my very first 6km mileage in a single run. And yes boy I did it! Managed to finish at 55:21 minutes with an average pace of 9'08" per km. Well the speed and time is nothing to shout about but am very pleased. 

I wasn't tired nor exhausted after that. Am feeling good physically. That's a good sign indicating my body is getting pretty good shape. Giving myself a pad on the shoulder 😁. Already my mind is thinking the big 10km!
