Day 6 crap

I feel much better than on Saturday (mainly because I rested 1 day, and did not eat Mcdonalds an hour ago.) Guess what? 14:50. Nuff said. This is bullshit. Although I will NOT give up, but really, WHAT THE FU

Day 5

29 July, Day 5! (I didn't run yesterday)
14:31. Not bad, I'm happy with the result. Well mostly because my stomach felt uncomfortable (I knew eating 1 hour before running was a bad idea) so I had to not run so fast otherwise I'd vomit. I'd say I only ran 80% of what I'm capable of (a little stitch today, so I slowed down as well, pressed on that area and continued) Should be able to hit 14 minutes if I hadn't eat McDonalds 1 hour before running. Luckily it wasn't McSpicy.

I'll set a new short term goal: Wednesday, 2 August, I'll hit 13:30 (aka 4:30 per 400m, or 9 minute mile). Hit about 4:45 at the first checkpoint (800m) today, before slowing down. I can do it!

As a bonus, I ate an average of 1957 calories per day in the past week. Not trying to lose weight badly now, so I'm eating more than I used to. Then again, I'm burning an extra 150-200 calories on running days, so I'm probably still gonna lose weight. (Well I'm intending to drop more weight) I also drank protein shake on Day 2-4. But I've stopped doing so because I feel fat. (lame excuses ftw)

Stitching + Route markers

I didn't run today. Actually maybe I did run in the first half. Then I started getting stitches on both sides and walked the rest of the way. Let's just say I didn't do so well.

So I've taken this time to mark out route markers which will tell me if I should speed up. A bus stop at 800m (well, actually 840m. But meh it doesnt matter much), and a bend at 1.6km. With my ultimate aim, I should reach these targets at 3 minutes and 6 minutes, but for now, 4.5 minutes and 9 minutes will allow me to finish by 13.5 minutes (Timing can be adversely affected by the last piece of crap seperating me from the last 150 metres. If I timed it horribly, then I'll just have to pro-rate the timing)

Today I reached 840m at about 04:45. Reached 1.45km at 9 minutes and then walked the rest of the way.

Definitely running tomorrow because I am ashamed at my timing today.

Found a good route!

I found a good route! It's almost 2.4km guaranteed. Not only that, its actually quite peaceful because it passes by a park, and it's all not a main road with only 4 craps (traffic lights) in between. 3 of them are not main roads, so I would just run the red light. (Because screw waiting) The last one I'll just time my pace so that I don't need to wait there.

14:45 today. Although because of that 1 crap I can't beat (because it intersects a main road) I walked for like 1 minute. If not I think I could have done 14:15. First few minutes should be easy to check off, probably can do 12 minutes pretty fast. It'll be harder later on. Then again so long as I'm not the fatass (or Snorlax as some people called me) that finishes last in the class, I'm satisfied. (But I'm NOT happy yet. 9 minutes then I'll only have succeeded in my goal.)

Day 3

26 July is here! Ran again (obviously. I want to run 4 times a week)

Basically I am quite sure I ran enough (unlike day 1) so I used google maps to make sure I was running 2.4km accurately (more like 2.37km though)
I'm pretty happy with the timing. For the first 5 minutes I don't think I stopped much. But for the last 5 minutes I think I walked more than previous runs. What did I do? Blasted music through the earphones (and held it in my hand, not the pocket, so my phone doesn't get smashed. iPhone users, put 3 quarters volume through the earpods to see what I mean) 14 minutes 37 seconds/. Not bad! Drank some protein after the run (about 25 grams?)

Hopefully I can reach 12 minutes by end of August. Then I'll inch my way to the 9 minutes I so want to achieve. And yes, I'm running at night. Because it's cooler. I'll do a run in the day soon, see if time of day makes a difference.

If she can do it, WHY CAN'T I???

Damn traffic lights

What should I do when I encounter those damn things? Let the stopwatch run? Or pause it? But if I pause it i can catch my breath, which means time will be faster. But if I let it run, it will obviously increase my timing.
Running 6 rounds in the stadium is just too boring.

If I can't, then I must!

So after successfully losing some weight, I decided to redeem myself. In Secondary school I was pretty fat. I felt embarressed about me being so shite at running (aka 2.4km). I completed it in.... 24 minutes. 100 METRES A MINUTE!!! Probably because I gave up without trying to run. When I did  try to run in Sec 4 (or was it sec 3?) another embarressing result. 16 minutes 50 seconds. Now that i think of it did I even run the full 8 rounds??? I dont think so. I took SEVENTEEN minutes for 2 KM (not even 2.4km!)

I have to redeem myself. Secondary school is over, but better late than never. 2.4km in 9 minutes is my goal. Hopefully I can reach 12 minutes by mid September. I think I can. If she can do it (and my other friends, WHY CANT I???)

Day 1: 23/7
15 mins 29 seconds (Decent start. I think I should be doing better now that I lost weight. But then 1 year ago I cant even do it in 17 minutes, not too bad.)

24/7
15 mins 51 seconds. Well...
And to make things worse, my phone fell out. The case also came out. Free cracks to the screen! :D
But I shall not give up.

See if i can run 4 times per week. No more being a fatass that can barely run.

Me losing some weight

Just a year ago I weighed 72kg, reaching 74kg at my peak. Well that's bad. People called me fat (even my sister!) I used to drink loads of sugary drinks which I thought were healthy (idiot me). Until  I realised I looked like I'm exploding in my clothes, I (officially) started the dieting (and stuff) in April 2017. Now I'm around 63kg, so thats good. Yay! Only 4 months late.

After losing some weight, I'm determined to do more. Be more fit. I've started my own fitness program (is it called like that?) but I'll tell you more details tomorrow. (If I ever blog more)

Welcome!

Yay! I'm only a few years late to blogging. Here will be a guy trying to be better.
I mean, trying to lose weight and improve fitness. A few years late, but better late than never.
Started this blog to just write my thoughts and feelings because I want to write them down. No one will see this anyway (well maybe 10 people will)
If I get overly deep, I apologize in advance. I caught myself quite a few times doing this, so I'm sorry!
I know that I started off from scratch. But over time, I will hopefully blog more. In a few years, I'll look back at many posts and cringe at it. (Why am I saving stuff for future cringe? I dont know!)
