I didn't do any long distance running since my last half-marathon in end May. And, since I've signed up for a 10KM run in mid-August, I decided to get this lazy fella in me to get back to training. I did ran 2KM-5KM almost weekly but when I tried to do 10KM this evening, somehow my body and mind were like giving up before I started to run....LOL. I struggled at 3KM+ , though I also tried to run faster this time round and that may explained the tiredness. After I am done with 5KM, I took a short breather and decided to run 2KM more but somehow I gave up after adding another KM. OK la, maybe the body need some adjustment. I will try again next week.
Gelare SG has 50% discounts in their waffles on Tuesdays and I managed to try some of it with my colleagues. However, I am not really a fan of waffles as it is too sweet for me and I can't even finished one! Unlike my lady colleague who could gobble up the entire waffle, faster than the usual rice or noodles that she had!

Chocolate syrup with cherries and ice cream toppings. |

Another colleague of mine ordered a syrup with banana slices topping waffle. |
Arrhhh.... I had enough of waffles, don't think I want to eat it for a long time. hahaha....
I like to eat waffles with peanut butter and blueberry. Yums.
ReplyDeleteI've started running. Jogging to be exact. I jogged for 2.5 - 3 km at least 4 times a week. It feels good to get my heart pumping hard and break out a sweat. But I know I wont be able to do 10 or 20km like u do.

DeleteMerryn - You had increased from running 2km, 3 times a week to 2.5km, 4 times a week, which is good, jia you!
DeleteChris - I like the waffle with chocolate syrup, yums
By the way, I had started to go to the gym, twice so far, we intend to go to the gym regularly to shed some fats
Exercise is always good
Well done , Merryn ! Keep it up and increase slowly and gradually to your comfort level. You will be running 5-10km soon !!
DeleteWell done Libby too! Weights training is good to strengthen the muscles and bones.
Is a "she"? I guess she must like waffle a lot then, hehe!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... Like having chocolate or ice cream like this lor. Ladies love it and can finish all even if it's big portion! Lol
DeleteI like waffles but only with maple syrup - I can't stand the sight of all that mess that seems to be the trend these days, even here...and they are so so so expensive at all those "high class" coffee places that I do not bother going...over RM10 for a cup of kopi susu, siao ah!!!
ReplyDeleteMe too, I prefer those simple waffles !
DeleteI only buy Gardenia packet waffles from the minimart for my kids, huhuhu..
ReplyDeleteOh.. Didn't know gardenia got waffles ... Hahahah. I thought it's bread only.
DeleteAt least you did the 5km plus another 1 km...
ReplyDeleteThe next round, jia you!!!
The waffle, if with those topping, if myself, i will be struggling to eat by myself unless sharing with other's...
Yeah , hope to increase the mileage again ! Hahaha...
DeleteYeah lor, I shared mine with them.
Observe your pacing. After rest, sometimes it's good to start on easy pace to do longer runs instead of going hard every time.
ReplyDeleteBut all the best for your next race!
Thanks for the tips! Yeah, I should have relax in the first run.
DeleteAnother month to train yourself before the run.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Waffles! I love it with uce cream and choco syrup. The first one is for me. ^^
Yeah, that's why I started training! Only 1 month left!
DeleteThe waffles look really good. But if too sweet, then I also cannot tahan. Hope you get back the motivation to run.
ReplyDeleteIt's too sweet for me. Hopefully other waffles are nicer . Same as some donuts , also very sweet !!
DeleteMy wife just ordered one new set of waffles maker from online shopping. It could even make donuts, pancakes and croissants. Now I get some more ideas from your photos to decorate the waffles.
ReplyDeleteBetter get a book on waffles making .. Hahha
DeleteOMG....waffle. Love that with lots of ice cream!
