Run Lola Run

I've totally given up on Tumblr. I don't even recall when was my last post there. That is if I even had any proper posts there in the first place. I never really had a use for Tumblr so it's not a loss but yeah there are some interesting blogs on Tumblr so I guess I might drop in there once in a while to see what's what.

I'm really starting to get serious on my training regime. Covered 44km on my bike a couple of days ago. My timing for that wasn't exactly great but if you take into consideration that it was a warm up ride and that I was affected by traffic, it isn't too bad. I basically got trashed by this pak cik (Malay uncle) who cycles and average of 40-50 klicks daily and was telling me about his 120km ride the day before. It amazes me how someone at his age (50) can achieve such things when there are plenty of 18 year olds out there who are put off by the very idea of going out to exercise.

On another note, I just completed a 4.5km run. I'm really amazed with myself. Out of nowhere I suddenly managed to double my usual distance. Weirdly I felt less tired running 4.5km as compared to running just 2. While I was running, I somehow felt like pushing on and to outdo myself. The feeling was just amazing. It did reminded me about this article on the net about how this guy one day managed to run much more than he usually did and the more he ran, the less tired he became. I guess this is a start for many great things to come for me.
