Cracked 6min/km !

Posted by rlog on January 14, 2008

I didn’t want to post here until I was sure, so I took a few more trial runs just to be sure. I finally cracked 6 min/km for my daily runs ! To test out I ran in Kuantan over the weekend, the normal route here and the park route over at Kelana business square. I clocked in an impressive 5.45 min/km for each of those locations. I am really ecstatic over this development and looking back at the blog, I used to run at 8 to 9 min / kms. This is a tremendous development for my running and I am getting faster and the results show up now as my weight is going off and the inches is also going off the belly. Happy times this.

I see so many people on the streets now with this big belly problem and I just want to stop them and just hold them by the shoulders and say

straight to their faces ”Dude ! I know the solution to your belly problems !”. I want to tell them because I know how it feels to have a

belly and look at yourself in the mirror. I know how is it like pick up a new pair of trousers and notice that you have over grown your old

size by another inch. I used to balk when I see those informacials where people who lost weight bawl their eyes out but now I begin to understand. You do really feel emotionally better and it gives you an internal boost like no other thing can. Just knowing that you look sexy gives that extra little spring to your step. I want to share this with everyone because I think that everyone deserves a chance to go for that perfect figure. I want to teach but then everything still obeys the rule “When the student is ready the teacher will appear”. People who want to listen will listen and will be willing to pay the price for getting that body size of your choice. Here I send out all the love and compassion and hope to those trying to loose that few extra folds from the midsection or just to loose that extra few pounds. You can do it ! Just remember to fork out that little extra cash to buy your usual wardobe one size down :) .

so near so near

Posted by rlog on January 4, 2008

So near to break the 6 min / km mark ! Today I averaged at 6.05 ! He he I am getting there. Before I know it, I would have broken my own best time for the time when I was in Form 2. 59 mins for 10km, but the love I have for my miles now is definitely more than what I could have felt during that time. Just wish I discovered this earlier, but heck you definitely won’t hear me complaining about this.

Was just looking over this blog and I am truly astounded by how my time has improved from a pace of 9+ down to 6+. A whopping 3 minutes pace jump is nothing to sneeze at okay.  Man ! There is just a certain satisfaction to be felt living the dream of having your time go down your body feeling great at the same time.

running strong

Posted by rlog on January 3, 2008

Runs are really good nowadays. I am running strong everyday normally without a need to even consider slowing down. I guess I ran myself out of the rut, and here I don’t know what really contributed to this, whether it’s the vits ( Overdrive / Excel ) or generally I am feeling better, but I don’t care ! I am just dang happy that the runs are kicking in great again. Did 7km today on my new pair or NB. Probably good to mention here too that the old pair of Brook Phoenix went the way of the dodo when it got lifted from my house here in KL. All the trouble for a old soggy pair of trainers ? Man you take it dude. You probably need it more than me.

It’s good to be back ! On the finance side a bit more moneys are going in the sinker coz I have to shop around for new clothes coz the old ones do not fit anymore, but in a damn good way !! Weight is down to 77 which is the lowest it has been so far and I am way up there ! Waist is down to 32. I just feel unstoppable now, plus with the new diet with the sugar levels being consistent and everything, energy level is high everyday and really sympathize those poor sods who still lumber around for the whole day filling up with carbs and feeling and acting generally like a zombie ! I am thankful I found the way around this. I want to share this with anyone who will listen but as I found out numerous times in the past, only when the student is ready then the teacher will appear. I have come to accept this about people and it’s easier on me. People will listen and really listen when they are ready, and normally it takes a life threatening crisis for them to pay attention. This is like god hitting them with a jack hammer after all those fatherly failed to work. It’s unfortunate but that is life. Live and let live.
