The 'high' of running ...

It's very strange... as I have blogged before, when I signed up for a race and with the run just around the corner, as well as with all my humble trainings and preparations done, I kinda felt regret for signing up. That's because I gotta stayed in SG for the weekend and when I think I gotta run a long distance in an early morning, I also felt lazy and started to have all these negative feelings. However, after I finished the race like now, I am looking forward to run more races. hahahahah... Like today, I was checking what are the races for July after I am done with the Sundown Marathon in May. Well, I don't know what is this called ... maybe the 'high' of completing a race. LOL. I hope to do a full marathon soon but I think I am not good enough yet. Let me conquer the half-marathon first.

Just a short post today, and I was having a meatballs pasta for lunch nearby my office. I think I had too much pastas lately but ok la...it's convenient to eat, just like fast food. The meatballs reminds me of Ikea's.

  1. You obviously enjoy it and it is good to keep at it and stay in shape, sacrifice a few weekends without going home shouldn't be a problem. Kids all big already. Can get the family to come over instead? Lovely meatballs and pasta, I would love that, I'm sure.

  4. No more Japanese food?? Lol.

    But the meatballs look good. Indeed reminded me of the Ikea's.

    That is a great motivation. Of course there is pro and con but once you done it, you will continue to do so. Good luck in your next run.

    My wife often signed and paid for many runs every year. In the end she only showed up for 2-3 runs as the others clashed with her work. LOL LOL
