got myself registered to the 42km marathon

Oh well, finally got myself registered. I've been doing 30min runs alternate days and on the rest, I just do a little bit of stretching, cycling and weights. On the weekends, pushing myself to one long run- did an 8.5 km last week, looking at 20ish this week :) Gotta tell ya, have been gaining weight like crazy! Seems I am eating more!!!

Thats about it

Marathon is on 28th of October 2012, exactly 6 months from now. I have hardly trained for the past few weeks,been eating a lot and gaining 3..no 5 kgs. Shame! Well, I got myself new running shoes and will start training in the evenings rather than in mornings where things need to be rushed up. I will not let myself down!! c'mon girl!

Zumba time

An hour of Zumba yesterday evening with a very good looking instructor ha ha

235 days left

Oh well, had my son's 2yo birthday, got caught up in the celebration and now I'm back, as if I was ever there :(

So I went to the gym and did a jog for 20min, will be building up my stamina, I will, slow and steady girl!

Day 18- 26

Oh well, joined the gym and when I was getting onto the groove, gym location's shifting and getting even closer to where I live ^_^

So, Day 20-23, did a healthy mix of cardio exercises, mainly running on the treadmill and cross train for 50mins. As for the remaining days, gym's shifting and I'm taking a break.

But hold on, am going to be a regular from Day 27- i.e. Sunday, 26th Feb 2012

Day 13, 14, 15,16, 17

5 more whole days..done nothing, no exercise so decided to join the gym, hopefully assuming that if I pay, I will be obliged to start practising for "real"

the dream is not yet over :)

Day 12

This was yesterday, just could not get out of bed so thought of going for a run in the evening..should have thought better.

Once I had my dinner, went to the beach for a run and was hardly gone 50 steps when I got a sharp pain in my stomach, should have expected it..

Better luck today!!

Day 11

Walk+Run for 20mins and end up with a severe headache.

Am I gonna make this???

Day 8, 9, & 10

zzzzzzz, eating, socialising, etc etc

and everyone's discouraging me for the full marathon :(

Day 6 & 7

Day 6- Jogged comfortably for 33mins and walked for 15mins.
Thought I had covered 9km but it was just 5km..Wham!!!
Anyway, I aim to cover 9km this Saturday i.e. day 9


Day 7- Well, all great people need to rest, so I just slept and I dont feel guilty about it!

Day 4 & 5

Day 4- Unfortunately did not wake up even with the alarm blaring. Discipline girl, Discipline!!!!


Day 5- Strangely enough, managed to jog comfortably 20mins straight without losing breath, did some stretches after that. Looking forward to the 9km run tomorrow morning which I am hoping to cover in 30-40mins

Day 3

Skydiving from 12000 ft is simply awesome :-) :-) :-)

No practice for me today, just cant get over flying amongst the clouds...sigh...

Day 2

Struggled to get out of bed on a Saturday morning but hit the road and kept running for the first 2 kms, huffed and puffed on uphill return home so I walked..I tell myself, its OK- just your second day. But a tiny voice tells me I just have 266 days left.
I am well aware that my decision to run a marathon with only a few months to pratice may not be the wisest of decisions, but what the heck, worth a try!

Day 1

So, I finally got out of my bed and went out for a run. 12mins. That was all and I was huffing and puffing back in a hurry to get changed and head to work.

I'd read somewhere that if one intends to run a marathon, that person should tell everyone, tell the world that he/she is running a marathon so that backing out would not even be an option-Back out means shame..Ooooooh

Oh well, its just just 42.195km (26.218 miles), and 267 days to practice.

I can do it, I can do it, I can do it! whew
