Did I tell you? I ran my 10km in 2XU 2013 Race in 49 mins 11 secs. It is quite a feat yeah?
And then I saw the top 5. They did it in 20 minutes. !!!
No lah, wrong section. It's actually 30 minutes. SO I ASK MYSELF, can I stop wasting my 1 hour and run this 10 click in 45 minutes instead? BOY, I SURE WANT THAT!
And I thought of opening my run again today and do the traditional 2.4. But due to the frantic, sweat induced, worthy street soccer game in the morning, this right lower shin is a little busted. Someone sliced the top and it's leaving that fella a little bruised.
I really need to get my act together. Else, this body is just going to waste. Let's do this.

9:21
Here is the deal.
With a timing of 9:21, it just means one thing; That I can push it. I can remove the limit. I can feel pain and I can become beyond what I am limited to.
Fuck critics.
I had only imagine having a timing of 9:55. Though I believe in upsetting fate, I never had was at a stage of being too confident. There is a fine line between determined and being over confident. It's way too fine.
It felt surreal. It felt that I ran a 10:00 pace. It felt that my thigh muscles weren't pushing hard. It felt that my lungs were not trying its best. It felt that I was lagging.
Thank heavens, I did it in 9:21. And without me straining. Wonderful.
I definitely can't wait for 10 clicks.

Burnt the HTA ground while I was there.
Let's wake up for a moment, and witness this...
Pull Ups - E - 1
Sit Ups - A - 5
Shuttle Run - C - 3
SBJ - F - 0
2.4 km - A - 5
Wait what? An 'A'? Guess the timing! 10.01. Solid whoa.
Strangely enough, I held up to all that thumping and it seems that we broke the personal best. Now, let's set a personal best. Let's do 9.44. That's just 17 seconds away. Let's do this.
Slipped into the Vibrams today to catch up smashing myself onto tar. It didn't really end well. At the 1.63 km mark, I just couldn't hold it together. It just sucks. But considering that I had not really meet tar for about 3 weeks now, it's a good effort.
I am aiming to run at least once in Vibrams a week. One can't lose that natural instinct of bouncing up and down much like springs, absorbing shock after shock, carrying just the weight of yourself. That feeling is surreal. So every Saturday, I dedicate it to myself.
Pity that I run like a beast, I jump the exact opposite. Whatever the opposite of beast is. Those butt muscles man. They gotta work their ass off. Sheesh.
So more of hops.
So more of tuck jumps.
So more of staircases (2 steps a time).
So more of squats.
So more of leg raises.
So more of leg extensions.
So more of running.

FFS.
LOST MY POST DAMMIT.
Simply put, days 1-3-5, gym your biceps, shoulders, chest, and legs in SUPER SETS. 30 minutes tops.
For days 2-4, run. Run like there's Bo tomorrow. A round in .48 there. Play nice with the brick floors. I know the knees will complain. Increase in odd intervals. Sprint without the Vibrams. And hide your Vibrams well, they don't like it there.
Pray it rains in the day and not in the evening.
Good luck.

Are You Ready?
If you haven't guess it by now, he's in the military service. Runs almost everyday, I'm dying. Well almost. I could feel the pain stretching as we hit the 4km mark. But the pain only suggests one thing, I'm ready to hit more tarmac, more ground, more pavement, more track.
We only get to touch remnants of his humanity over the weekend. Consider those a rest days because right now, we are just wasting time away as a human being.
Food for thought: Humans love to waste time.
After much thought, it looks like getting a pass for IPPT might be harder than anticipated. Standing Broad Jump is still a problem. Pull-ups seem impossible. 2.4 has to be faster. Sit Ups has to be harder.
Guess the first step of solving things is to find problems in the first place. So did a search and found out about a little guide that NS prepared to pass IPPT. Pretty nifty.
Gonna process that shitload of info and incorporate in the schedule. Hold on your horses peeps.
