180829 Long Time no See on Adarq.
Since early July... I had lost some one very important.
I could not adjust and it affect me in many ways.
I saw this virtual Race event... which require participate to run a minimum of 100km from August 1st to 28th. (100 for bronze, 150 for silver and 200 for gold medal)
For whatever reason... i decided to join....
may be i want to use this event as a way to clear my mind to get over the thing that happened and i could not change.
so....for the pass 28 days.
I ran 18 times, which include 16 session of 30min/5km and 2 session of 60min/10km. In one of the day, I actually ran 5km at 7am and 5km at 7pm.
It is interesting, i thought since i only run once a week with kid before... I consider myself as a newbie runner... and running this much millage should improve my running ability (beginners gain right?). The true is I had not seem any improvement in speed at all, the first 70km, 12 session or so...
It is near the last 5 session or so.. I start seeing improvement. My average pace go from 6.5 min/km to now 5.5min/km, so i am able to break the 6min/km speed consistently in my 5km. However... my body weight DID NOT decrease at all... WTF eh... I eat normally same as before.... I thought 100km... like i run 30 min every 2nd days.. and WTF.... no weight lost? this is some bull shxt running exercise useless crap that i am doing...
In my final run... I did 10km in the rain.. but my time is 1 hr and 42 sec. (So i am 42 sec SHORT of beating the 6min mark.)
Today is Aug 29th. It is raining again...in fact it was raining daily for the pass few days, I am lucky that i was able to finish the final few km in the rain.
A total of 101km is finished in 18 sessions in 28days.
The Event is Officially over. And I think.. i must seriously move on.
Focus on what is important that i can control, in work, in life and family etc. also.. vertical jump....
Zianimal always says... Die trying.
I should get back to vertical. Now that the event is over, which symbolize me finally moving on fwd from the past.
