Back to Basics

Ran yesterday without my garmin… actually, I didn’t even bring a watch. It felt a little bit disconcerting at the start not knowing how fast or how far or how long I’ve already been running. I just ran it by feel. If I felt I was breathing too hard, I’d slow down. If it felt too easy, I’d pick up the pace. If I felt I can go further, I took another step.

In the end, running without the distraction of trying to maintain a certain pace or trying to reach a certain distance was quite liberating.

It was just me, the road, and my surroundings… just as how it was in the beginning.

Its Been Awhile…

Its been awhile since I’ve really done a training run and here are some of the changes I’ve noticed…

… I get winded running 5 km…

… I can’t maintain a 6min/km pace over 3 km without eventually walking…

… I’ve lost my singlet tan lines.

Yep, my torso is now an even colored kayumanggi color…

I guess this just means I have to go attack the roads again so I can re-earn my stripes…  see you on the road! :D
