What a day it has been!
And so, thanks to my very nice bro (sense the sarcasm here) he pangsehed me and so I had to cab to esplanade costing me $6.30!! I mean, this is the WORST way possible to get to city hall. I could've asked dad or left earlier to take mrt if he told me earlier! Like what the!
And then apparantly I went to the starting line not knowing the baggage area was elsewhere and had to do a whole ton of walking. Before realising sis didnt purchase the baggage tic thingy and didnt tell me not to bring baggage! Really wanted to just dump my bag somewhere lorh. But went to pay $3 to get the tic thingy. And reached the starting point like with 5mins or less to spare and NO WARM UP. Horror of horrors. The fast ppl were really fast. Freaky.
The beginning of the run was spent doing some cross country. Running up and down the side pavement, on the VERY uneven grass patch, trying not to trip over mounds of swept up leaves by the roadside. As you can see, overtaking by the side of the road makes the path NOT very smooth. So, I think I successfully overtook everybody in my path. (Including jina! i was secretly happy altho I think something happened to her hahah)
The route was quite dots. I felt like I was running in circles which I probably was. The nicest part was running towards the end, at the ndp area! Big wide open straight empty road, not for car travel so no exhaust, and beside the nice river! Perfect cloudy weather, no hint of sun! :) I wasn't really jogging, I wasn't really sprinting. Treated it just as a morning jog!
Quite irritated cuz I realised I didnt start that strange stopwatch I was wearing. So dots. Didnt know my timing till I finished the line at 55mins! Quite okay with my timing. But I must say Great Eastern is quite efficient. The results are out alr! I did a 52.58 at the end of the day! Pretty happy after all :) I shall try harder next time.
I seem to have tried alot of ways. Drinking 100plus after. Eating a bun after. Not eating. Not drinking 100plus. Drinking water. Eating banana. I conclude, that feeling of terrible-ness kicks in after every morning run like 20mins after I'm done. But I guess not drinking isotonic and eating a little something helps quell it better. But still doesn't prevent it! Get used to it girl!
I think the next time I'll try the change shirt thingy. Maybe it's cuz I stay in my sweaty top for too long.
11 more weeks at the piano studio! Gotta find more sources of income! Like soon! Any high-paying tuition lobang or piano kids let me know okay!
Time to sleep.
God's mercy never fails!
