I decided to test myself in distance running. I have no experience in distance running nor have i been jogging on a regular basis, but I thought it was about time that I tried doing so. My current goal is to join, and finish a 10k run.

I started my training several days back, my first try was a dismal 2Km, the pain in my lungs was too much to bare that I was shedding tears on my last lap. My second try was still a dismal 3Km, this time around my lungs were in better shape but my legs gave way to the pain. I'm suppose to jog again this afternoon but I guess I pushed myself a bit too far yesterday, I can barely stand much less walk, It's like being hazed all over again without the bruising.

With the aid of Google Earth I traced my training route in my subdivision. The route is around 1.1Km, the clockwise route is a bit more difficult since it has more steeper slopes which makes it a good route when I try to push my self.

My immediate goal is to run 5 rounds none stop without rest or walking. It may not sound as much but for a novice like my it would mean a milestone. Note to self: 10km may still be a pipe dream at this point in time.
