"Alice, would you like to join a run?"
"Hmm, should be okay"
In my mind, I was thinking, since I have been jogging for a while, perhaps I should make this run a "target" to achieve as all this while, I just jog without any specific purpose; I was just doing it for my health :)
Yesterday I was having a severe headache and was home quite late. I was thinking to give up if the headache continued the next morning. I slept for about five [5] hours and when I woke up, I just had light headache. Praise the Lord! I proceeded to get ready for the run.
Oops, I seldom take the easier route to Bandar Puteri but I chose to take this route this morning because it was more convenient. Thank God I managed to find my way there and be there just in time for everything: walk a long way to the starting point (I parked quite far away), did some warm up, went to washroom, & put down my number for lucky draw later.
Ready, Get set, Go!!
I started running together with other participants. The night before I was having a conversation with a friend & he told me the expected duration to complete the run for 7.7km should be 65 minutes. In my heart I was doubting whether I could complete it within this time, because my stamina was just so so. I was telling myself, if I could complete it within 80 minutes (I did some research online which stated that the average time to complete 7.7km was 80 minutes), I should Praise the Lord!
Step by step, walk and jog alternately, I kept telling myself that I could complete the run. Walk, jog, walk, jog ~ ey, I saw some participants from the 5.5km Category! At this point, I was feeling a little happy because I could overtake them :p I made my pace faster, hoping to reach the finishing line soon!
Finally, I saw the finishing line! However, I had no more strength to run or jog there, so I just walked. When I looked at the stopwatch, the duration I took to complete the run was approximately 65 minutes! Wow, a pat on my own back, haha =))
It was challenging for me to wake up early after a severe headache. Praise the Lord for His healing touch =)
Once again, my sense of direction was not as bad as I thought =)
Lastly, my stamina had improved! Hallelujah! =)
Another run? Perhaps next year ^ ^
