TTh

Thanks to my waning interest in watching TV and some "peer" pressure from my exercise addict brothers, I was able to jog three times this week! My Tuesday and Thursday numbers:
Tues: 14:34.27, 13:39.24; 28:13.51 total. Thurs: 14:59.28, 13:43.60; 28:42.88 total.

Eat or Jog?

I'm hungry. But I want to go jogging. I'm about to leave the office now. About to head out to the parking lot. Now, where will I go? Part of me wants to go straight home to the family dining room, where dinner awaits. Ooh, yum! But there's this stubborn part of me that's just goading me to go to UP, to its windy tree-lined acad oval. And it's whispering too, saying "It'll only take you 30 minutes... "

Heck, I knew the answer the moment I went back to my desk and decided to write this blog entry. I knew, the purpose of this entry right here is really to record last night's run, so, in around 5 minutes, I could reset my watch as preparation for a night of two more laps around the acad oval.

Last night's numbers: 14:06, 13:49; 27:55 total.

I'm really hungry now. Jog, then eat. Jog, then eat. Jog, then eat.

Jog Logs

It's a new week and hopefully a week of physical fitness! I'm going to jog tonight with my bro Carlo and for tomorrow, I'm going with my officemate Khen.

Now before I head to the acad oval once again, let me just record my past runs, one from last week and another from last last week. See, I haven't been jogging as often these days. So tonight's a good start. I hope. :)

Sunday Side Stitch

Gonna go jogging tonight and before I reset my watch, lemme record my times from last Sunday, the first time, actually, that I jogged on a Sunday. I didn't enjoy it very much, though, because a side stitch erupted not 20 meters after the starting line! I nursed it for a whole round, and funny, it disappeared when I started to really pick up the pace. I was quite surprised I even made it below 30.

The numbers:
1st lap 15:55.95
2nd lap 13:41.34
total 29:37.29

Whew!

Satisfied

After a few more hours of tinkering, I can finally say that I'm ready to let go and leave my template be. Ah, finally...

I don't think I wanna see another style sheet anytime soon.

Yellow lookin'

Been tinkering for a couple of hours now with this plain template named pixels which I got from blogger-templates. Now it's unrecognizable and totally mine, haha! Makeover's still far from finished but I have to give it a rest for now because dinner's waiting and I'm already late for choir practice!

Fastest First Base

Ooohh, but not with a guy! (How I wish..!) Coz if last night's jog would be any related to how fast I could snag a guy, I would have been in third base by now.

You see, I recorded my fastest first lap last night: 13:39.14! And at 13:49.10, my second lap was not so bad either. Combined, I covered two rounds in 27:28.24--a new record! (Yey!)

But boy, sap my energy that run did! Going into the first half of round two I could already feel my thighs getting tired. But my lungs were still all right, so I pushed on.

Then I had a side stitch. Must be because I was already breathing through my mouth when there was still a kilometer or so to go. But it was only a slight one, so I breathed in big and exhaled hard, and pushed on.

I was almost breathless when I finished. Quite ecstatic too. I was just too drained to jump in delight.

Tonight I'm gonna run again, but no record breaking this time. I can't be thaat desperate to go to first base.
