Somehow when I am nearing a running event and after been training for it for months, I kinda got lazy during the last few weeks. Well, maybe I was running alone as well as feeling mentally tired to train for it. Well, it's just 2 weeks to go for the Standard Chartered Half-Marathon and I have been dragging myself to train lately...hahaha. It happened to the Sundown HM in last July where I slacked in the last three weeks, just ran 5km to 10KM only and I didn't do too well in that run.
Due to that, last Wednesday, I decided to try on a different route and it seems works. I managed 15KM on almost running on the border of the little town that I stayed in. Well, Singapore is small and the town's border is not big either, unlike Malaysia. However, it was great as I scaled the border of the town in a round as well as trying a new route. It was exciting and refreshing!
Oh.. and I rewarded myself with a ramen set at Ippudo in Orchard.

Good that new route seems to be the answer for your training now.
ReplyDeleteAll the best for SCMS.
And what a good meal you had there.
Thanks Lina. Now I understand why runners always try new routes!
DeleteExercise alone really needs a lot of motivation, because I don't have exercise kaki, that is why always very lazy to go exercise alone, no company
ReplyDeleteLibby - True, exercise alone can be boring but try to do something about it. Try to get some kakis.
DeleteMy favourite Japanese place in town has closed down. Sobsssssss!!!!!

ReplyDeleteAll the best on the coming event
Thanks Kucing!
DeleteYour salad looks interesting. Got broccoli.
ReplyDeleteIt was good! A little sour too.
Deleteso you are probably one who needs new things to keep you going huh?? great to hear that you finally got this worked for you, and with a new route you are actually running even more!! that's a good move, don't you think?? so better start to find other routes before you slack again, hehehe!!
ReplyDeleteNot really need new things la but somehow felt bored of the same route. Its like I know how far am I at a certain point in my old route and sometimes I dragged myself to run farther down. hahaha
Deleteooh, Ippudo!! i have yet to try the Ippudo here in KL, so paiseh.. the salad and the ramen look good and tasty.. you never failed to reward yourself with some great Japanese food everytime after your run huh?? hehe.. but i think that's good, at least you got something to look forward to :p
ReplyDeleteThis was my first time having ramen there! :)
DeleteHello Uncle Chris, you need to slow down in your runs if you have no motivation when you are tired. You need to sleep well and early with less spammings in order to be fit as fiddle. Changing new routes may be good so long as you rest enough. You always reward yourself with food and what else?? Muahahaha
ReplyDeleteTM - hahaha... ok Uncle. Got it!
DeleteA good reward after a tough training. Good luck in your half-marathon.
ReplyDeleteThere's Ippudo in KL too but I havent try that one out. Good luck in the upcoming half-marathon. .
ReplyDeleteWhy the green tea looks yellowish one? Hehe~
