Whenever I read my old posts here on this blog, I would always tell myself how much I miss writing and that I should write every day. Kahit musings lang or a short life update.
So today is Sunday, and I’m writing this at 5:53 in the afternoon, after I tried running for 3 KM. Of course, I failed. I haven’t run for quite a while, kahit lakad wala na recently.
My morning energy’s devotion is now weight lifting. Naks naman, di ba? But really, I do find lifting or working out in the morning most productive. I plan on running/walking in the afternoon sana, perooo nakakatamaran.
Now I have no choice because I have one 5KM kit for the Lactacyd Run. And the run is on Sunday na! I only have one week to prepare. Iba din, di ba?! May pagka luka luka talaga. Here’s the plan: Sunday — try to run for 3 KM or as long as I can, just to have a basis. Then increase by 1 KM a day until I can do 5KM.
But this is not really a run-run. Today, I managed to “run” (more like jog) for 5 minutes straight. So I will work on that. Tomorrow, I’ll try to increase it to 8 minutes straight until I can do a full KM of jogging (which is already considered running for me). Then 1 minute walk/rest, always.
Of course, weight lifting will not be sacrificed. I will still do my usual Push, Pull, Glutes workout in the morning, then the run-jog training in the afternoon. Although it may seem impossible for me to perform well on the 5KM run on Sunday, I’m still doing this. Hopefully, my body catches up, gets used to the afternoon runs, and will eventually want more of this.
Good luck talaga!
