Oh mental strength, please help me!

Again, another Saturday morning passed by. Just like that. Huh. I thought I wanted to do my run in the morning. But, you know la, sleep is sooo sedap! So terpaksalah lari in the evening. Hmm..where should I run today? Maybe Titiwangsa is a good choice. A change can do wonders can they? Kalau hari-hari lari kat KLCC, I dont know how I would feel. Or how my shoes would feel, if they can.

Titiwangsa on Saturday is not too crowded. Or maybe the place is just damn big. I dunno. A lot of people exercising: playing badminton; football; jogging; lovemaking. No. That doesnt count as exercise.

My menu was: 9k. So it should be around 2 1/2 laps around the area. According to the tri route la I guess.

Halfway into the second lap, rasa letih la pulak. Actually, i'm not really tired. Juat mentally. Huh. Mengada-ngada! But this is what you probably get when running alone. Sukaimi said that running is a lonely sport. So I tried pacing with somebody la. Too fast. Macam nak race dengan aku pun ada! How funny. Okla. I dont blame them. Maybe upon seeing me in my running vest and split shorts, the competetive beast inside of them suddenly awakens. Hahaa!

Ok back to me. But, after upon reaching 9k, I said to myself, "what the heck, lets do 10!" So 10 it is. You see, halfway into the run rasa letih, malas. After reaching the mark, I wanted to do more. Its all in the mind. I guess I have to train my mind more, or find something else to do alternatively. I always wanted to cycle.

Okay, have to sleep to get ready for LSD tomorrow!

Hi Fitri,
How is things going? What's your next big race after KLIM 05? Duathlon? That's something interesting.
Hey brader, I'm regular at TTwangsa. According to my calculation, a big round around the lake is 2.5 kilometers. I'm talking about the outer lane (if you run along this route you will see Stadium TTwangsa, Nelayan seafood restaurant, PDRM golf club and DBKL nursery).
So you have to run four rounds in order to complete 10km. That's means you 2 and 1/2 round only brings a distance of 6 km not 9 km.

Regards.
