i finally decided to drag my ass off the floor and went for a jog today for the first time since dunno when and i'm glad i did. i seemed to have forgotten the joy of running and the familiar feeling of the lactic acid working. however, on the flip side, it was simply pure agony. It's really painfully obvious(pun intended) that i haven't gotten any(much) exercise in a long while. i was wheezing and puffing, and my head was starting to spin after only about 3km or so. so that's about how far i went.=(
i remember the times before i entered U and during the third year when i moved out of the halls and back home; i was running 5km consistently almost every day. back then i even kept a log of my timings. in the beginning i took about 30mins to complete 5km(yeah i know i slow).took me a while before i improved to about 24mins plus(5mins off!). Nothing much to shout about but it felt good to know that i'm at least making progress in something.
anyway, i think i took about 20mins or so to run about 3km today. wow.
i guess its a good thing i forgot to time myself today. it looks like i'm gonna need a lot of work in order to get back in shape. hopefully, it will be in time before the next IPPT rears its ugly head.
