Counting Run

Got home near 2am this morning and had difficulty sleeping (don't you have that problem once you passed the bedtime ?). Was hoping to catch up on my sleep before I go to the office at noon but alas, bio-clock roused me at 0640hrs! Arghhhhh! Couldn't sleep so after much contemplation, finally dragged myself out for a run.

I've wanted to do an LSD around the west (to BG, to MR or to Labrador Park) but with my lack of training all these ideas have to be shelved until (if ever!) I get my motivation for running back. So for now, I can only stick to the short runs along the canal near my place.

I had no watch, no ipod, nothing to entertain me for the run today (as I left everything in office). I didn't plan for a run considering I was at work til late. Life is always such a contradiction or irony. Week after week I would bring my sports barang home thinking I would do something over the weekend, but week after week I just lazed at home. The one week I didn't bring my stuff back, I actually got my act together to go for a run! -_-" Anyway, I digress :P

The morning air helped to clear my body of the toxins (or so I felt or like to think :P) and I just took a leisure jog to and fro, and covered 4km. Went for another round and I had to start counting my steps in between lamp posts to keep me going (hey, this method works!). On my return trip back, I changed to counting the number of trees lined by the side of the path.

I dunno how long it takes to cover this 8km but it doesn't matter. It felt good to be out and taking in the morning fresh air and getting some sunlight. What a good way to start the day (before the pigout MUAHAHAHAHA)

Hopefully I can get my act together and do an LSD soon.

Lost my heart rate monitor transistor about a month or two back at the gym. So now dun even have a HRM. Should I go get a replacement ? But seriously I don't really need one. So now my polar watch is doubling up as an expensive watch.
