Morning runs ? Arh.....

Morning runs ? Arh.....

12:00 AM dragon-i , running 32 Comments
I guess I posted too many heavyweights posts over the last two months covering my trip to China, thus I decided to go light today or for the next few posts. Oh, you are right, I also running out of ideas to post or probably suffering from a 'withdrawal symptom' , not mental block.  I am looking for more travelogue to write, actually!! LOL

Well, I actually decided to wake up early to run in order to train for my coming NTUC 350 and Sundown Half-Marathons in April and May respectively. However, since I gotta have my breakfast at around 7.30am or else I be late for work, it seems impossible for me to run more than 10KM or cover between 10KM-15KM. To my standard, that would take 2 hours+. If I were to do that, I needed to wake up at 5am+ to run! I think that's really tough for me, who is not a morning person. And, because of that, I salute the disciplined runners who managed to sleep early and wake up as early as 5am to train! I think I can only wake up at 6am+ and that would mean I can only covers 5-6KM the most. So, it's still back to night runs where I have more time but I will try a few morning runs as most of the runs starts in the early morning.

I was at Dragon-i restaurant at Aeon Bukit Indah last weekend, which I think it was opened not too long ago. This was actually the first time my family and I dined there, as we usually go to Canton-i instead.

My pork ribs La mian ... I must say it's very nice, especially the soup

That 'big' Shanghainese Pau again... my kid wanted it and he said it's so much better than the one we had in ChengHuan Miao in Shanghai, and cheaper too here! Oh, he shared my ramen too, since he had a JCO donut not long ago and still full.

A chicken and mushoom rice for my wifey and little princess to share.

A refreshing pot of Pu-erh tea 
I think I will patronize Dragon-i more than Canton-i. The food seems more delicious while I can find the HK dim sum from Canton-i from a lot of places.

      That was what I thought as I have eaten many times at Canton-I and when I first taste those at Dragon-i, it was good!!

    Your travelogue is not heavyweight, I enjoyed reading them, good to have pu-er tea after a heavy meal

    The chicken and mushroom rice is it claypot chicken rice?

      Thanks for enjoying my travelogue. I got two extra posts on it which I am going to post next time. Yes, I love pu-erh tea for its refreshing feel ! Those are not really claypot but rather bamboo!

    As long as you're able to catch some morning run before work, it's good enough. =) I myself am not a morning person and couldn't be bothered to wake up at this hour for classes, if I had a choice...

    Yup, having some pu er cha after a meal is good! ^^

      Yes, I think it's good enough! Maybe I try shorter runs first like 5KM and contd to do my long runs in the evenings.

    aiyoh change your lifestyle lah.. don't be a night owl.. go to sleep early and wake up early for your 10km run in the morning!! haha.. you will actually feel very refreshed to sleep and wake up early, and very much recharged after a good sweat out before work, and you sure can be more productive and work more efficiently :)

      OK, but not easy la... Anyway, it's really very good to workout in the morning like what you describe. Feel very fresh but time is limited in the morning. The gyms only open at 7am.

    oh, I've been to both Canton-i and Dragon-i.. at first I have to pause for a while to recall which is which, the names are so similar and they also sell similar food, haha!! and I actually prefer Dragon-i more, the food is nicer and price also more affordable.. I also often have ramen or the steam rice there.. :)

      Maybe try a few shorts runs in the morning, to make myself used to morning runs, else I will be yawning during the half marathon in the early morning.

    Yes, I prefer Dragon I too. Seems like their food is better than Canton-I.

      Not good, you need to have enough sleep. Try to sleep early if you wake up early.

    If you're time pressed, you can divide some of your runs into two. Morning and evening runs for the mileage.

    All the best in both runs!
