Running Again and Other Things


I did 3 runs last week and thought to do 12km run on the weekend but did not manage it because did not feel like it. Well, it's Thursday now and this is the first time I have ran this week, had a few things going on that was bothering me so had no mood to run. So I did the same route again this morning, which was a bit shorter than my usual 6 km route. I measured it on a google map tool on Trails and found that it was only 4.44 km! And that took me 30 minutes. So that means I'm actually running so slow. If it were 12 km that would be 1.5 hours. That is rubbish time, I need to run faster. Well, to be fair I'm not running constantly in the shorter run, i run some, walk some and spring a little. Need to be improving the fitness levels.

Also hoping to start playing soccer on Sundays again, jogging is just forward movement and I need to train for short bursts and sidway movements too to strengthen those muscles. Hopefully with that my running times will improve also.

And I need to join gym again, need to do lots of different kind of exercises, quite boring to keep repeating just one kind. The GoodLife near my place is "exclusive" so the price is like 700+ for 13 months, and there's another gym called Figure Factory nearby and it's only 600+ for 12 months, but Figure Factory used to be Zest's and they changed management. Heard from some people that Figure Factory management isn't too good and I'm afraid that they might close down within their year too. So if GoodLife can be negotiated to drop their price to about Figure Factory's I will rejoin with them. Need my Body Combat, Balance, RPM, Attack and Pump!!!
