#6 My Running Story

It since year 2010, I just pack up running as my hobby never since then year 2011 I find myself loving running a lot. That is how I started my first Full Marathon 42KM back then as well. 

Seriously I really feel that I am so crazy never think of what will happen next when I sign up my first 42KM during Sundown Race in year 2011. A lot my running friends giving me a lot advise what should do and what should not do. But I not really care what and listen what they say. Until the day come and I started to run my 42KM with my friends. I feel something is not right happen to my left knees when I reach 21km when I run slow pace, run non stop and happily running. 

Until I stop it. The pain just come. So I never fully complete my first Full Marathon and I was so dam sad and disappointed never hear what my friends have advise me what to do before the race. Because I was over excited not even care about training, from 10km skip to 42km is not that easy and etc. So I feel never too late to learn and I also told myself not to give up so easy for not completing the full marathon in the year of 2011. So I told myself I treat as a learning from mistake, won't do it again and don't because I fail one time then I give up or feel useless. So I took sometime to overcome it and I really thanks for those friends never give up on me also teaching me what to do. 

So I sign up  full marathon 42km again on year 2011 and is on Dec. That point of time I still never train much but running a lot race. I told myself not matter how far and hard it take. Just don't give up so easy plus God never give up on me as well. So I die die must run and walk to complete my other 42KM. That time I make it and I not really run much. Just enjoy the weather and taking picture so I complete the time of 7hrs plus. I still remember I not even posting my Facebook about how really bad I did for my first Full Marathon. Because I told myself that my first experience so no need rush for my Personal Best. 

In year 2012, I notice I been improve very fast then last time. Start from my 10KM from 1hour15mins in year 2011 than year 2012 1hrs04mins during Shape Run. This 2013 I never take and I got a bit injure so never go 10km race but I did a lot 21km plus one 42km (in the end of the year). After all really thank God for all what He has done for me through serving and running. He know the best in me. :) 

I Love You JESUS, For what He has done in my life at the cross. 

#5 Should I Run or Not Running

Hmmm.... I was thinking should I run today or not. Because Monday & Yesterday I already did my run. Plus Thursday I running too...

But I really want to run today because I can feel my leg want to do it. Just that I cannot run pace anymore and I now use to fast pace. Even my lifetime pacer say I been improve a lot plus he now try to catch up with me. I also feel that he have been improve too.

Time really run very fast, this Sunday is AHM, I think if today I run meaning I this week running a lot just before the race. Plus I will be rest on Friday & Saturday and I also ask myself am I enough rest before the race start. Plus am I worth it only this week run so much just to do my best for it or am I push too much.

After thinking so much. I can feel God told me just go for it and do whatever things is right. No need to worry because He protect me for this race with my lifetime pacer. So just pull all worried be hide and He will handle it. So that is how I found my pace and I believe that I already can do well and feel the joy when I finishing the race. Amen

#4 Looking forward running training later...

So excited today because is my first time and day to join a new Running Club and I looking forward for it. But no sure what the distance it will be, I will just enjoy the run later and don't stress myself. 

Because countdown 5 days to Army Half Marathon. So I don't want get any injure just enjoy slow run and get to know new friends in this Running Club. I believe it will be great too. 

Yesterday I also having a great training at MRCD-Mad Runner Coaching Dogma at Serangoon Stadium every Monday. The training there doing 400m running x 2 for warm-up then core training all the way, having a  short break and continue back to core training. 

I remember starting I join my body not use to core but I try few times my body no pain and it help me to lose weight too. This training is really amazing even my sweet boyfriend also enjoy it as well. Not only lose weight it also help us to improve our running pace as well. I really can see a lot different when I join this training. 

I really want to thanks my Coach Sky for this training and share with us what he experience in running and etc. Plus he making this training so fun and make sure all of us won't feel boring. Plus the training never be the same like last time too. 

Other thing I also notice that I been running a lot this week. Because Friday & Saturday will be my rest day. So no running and workout for me. Need to prepare and get ready to have some sleep before my Sunday Race start early in the morning.

#3 Feel SO Tired

Today is Monday. I don't know why am I so tired, maybe because of yesterday sleep a bit late at home. So today feel tired. 

I looking forward to MRCD Training after my work today. Now feel tired but when come to MRCD Training I won't feel tired anymore. I believe it going to be fun training and can re-build my strength very strongly. 

Countdown for 6 days to Army Half Marathon for this coming Sunday 01.09.2013. My feeling for my half marathon is that don't know can I complete the timing of 2:15 this year. Because my last time timing for half marathon is 2.35. This year I never train much with my boyfriend so I treat as joyful 21KM run because this year is my boyfriend first time trying 21KM. So I cannot stress him too much and complete the race with a smile. Also don't want compare with anyone to make it so stressful too. I always God will give us strength to complete the race just for Him and also rest in Him. Amen 

Since I never plan to run with Personal Best for this Army Half Marathon. But I still put a little Faith for this race that God will lead the way for this race plus we never know that we may end a good God timing for this Army Half Marathon. Just that I keep a secret for this race is that. Let God Lead the way in the right time and right place for us to complete the race without any injure and make sure we got enough sleep before the race start and all glory to Jesus name Amen. 

A New Start For Me :)

I so happy that after I leave my last time running club. But I still miss those time when my friends is still in the same group as me and we really enjoy running together plus after run go dinner together. But now is so very different.

Because almost some of my friends have left the running club. But I feel is alright, I still seeing going them on Thursday New Balance At Scape. Glad they still enjoy running and never affect by the running club. They also happy to see me on Thursday too.

Now I just sign up Safra Running Club is at Tampines Zone for 2years membership.. I believe this Running Club will not be the same and what have happen for the past Running Club that I join. I also believe that it will be fun, learn new experience and make new friends in this Safra Running Club. I also looking forward for coming Tuesday for my first time running with them.

AHM is coming too. My boyfriend and I are going enjoy the race and work a bit harder to complete it. Also Jia you to all my friends who going this race too. :)

#1: My First Post.

It been awhile I last time have my own blog since year 2000-2009 if I not wrong but I was a small girl like to post those stuff very sad or unhappy like example break up or friend not like me. But I back this time round and it going to be more fun and cool things to share with all my friend here.

I really love blog a lot because it speak other way of my true self like example things or people around I like or dislike is OK to say it out loud here ha ha. Make it here more exciting so that all friends or other people have blog can read it. Of cos not always gossip about other is it not healthy and is good to share like God words or some experience how God love me using different way to guide me when I need Him so much.

I really thanks God for leading me to every area of my life. Through Church, Family, Friendship and Hobby. Put me in the right place and right time to learn something that I never been through before. Like every Sunday just to simple sing worship song to Praise Him and Giving Thanks what He have done in my life. Don't have Him I think my life is a mess. I also want thankful to Him to let me met my life partner in church. He name is Derek. We have going through a lot and we now having same hobby as well. I really thanks God we going through so much and this Sunday is our 8 months 25.08.2013. Thanks God for being in the midst for making this relationship so wonderful. I believe there is so much more for us to learn also.

Forget to share what is our hobby is running training, complete short run, half marathon and full marathon. I really feel amazing my boyfriend pack up running very fast and been improve a lot. I believe he will do very well for his IPPT on Saturday which is tomorrow all the best for him :). I always believe through God he can make it with flying color :) Amen.
