Of running and eating .... :)

1:11 AM marathons , 34 Comments
I was to blog about my thoughts on the Ching Ming festival which I just got back from KL but since I gave so many comments to SK's blog on the same topic, I decided to blog on something else. Well, maybe I should talk about my upcoming runs. All is not lost after I skipped yesterday's run due to family duties as my company sponsored me and my interested colleagues for a 10KM charity run, to be scheduled in May. That was so nice as the following Monday is a holiday too. The run was scheduled on a Saturday morning. Thus, I can take a good break after that!

Then, I was contemplating whether to take part in a half marathon in July. One of my ex-colleagues is going for it and he's also a newbie to running. In fact, he struggled for 3 hours for a HM yesterday. Seeing that the Singapore Sundown qualifying time for a medal is 4.5 hours, I think I should be able to achieve it but still I needed to train for it. Nowadays, after a 10 to 11KM run, I was really tired. Not sure if I can last the run ...perhaps walk and run for the rest of the 9KM. LOL....

OK, I was at Pastamania and ordered an Hawaiian pizza for a change. It was nice, crunchy and hot. The small 7" pizza was just nice for me though I needed to run more to burn off the calories.

Earlier of the day, I had a truffle chocolate cake at Hanis restaurant near the National Library. I simply love the dark chocolate but with these food, I really gotta run more.... :(

Have a great week!

    Pastamania, I have been to the one in Pavilion once and I guess not long later it closed down, haha!! actually many eateries survived in SG but not in KL, eg: MOS, Long John Silver, Pastamania.. I guess it has to do with the managing team..

      lina- Not so good, as I mentioned can last for 10-12KM only. I think I need to up till 15KM to qualify for the HM.

      You need to learn how to pace yourself, that's all.

      We can't expect to run at the same pace of a 10K race in a HM... not for our first HM, anyway.

      Start slow and finish strong.

      Thanks Lina for the advice. yeah, I need to run at a comfortable pace.

    Haha. Could not help laughing at your comments. Need to run hard after all those indulgences.

    I just had pizza last Friday so not so craving for it. But chocolate truffle, could not resist it. I also need to run if I eat that slice. Gained weight faster at this age than when I were in my 20s!!
