Running Tips(s): Another 500 Metres and take it from there

After trying hard not to give up on running for the last two years, I decided to run "out of my comfort 5K to 7K runs".

It just happened a few weeks ago when I lace my shoes up and a subtle voice echoes "Look, just try to run another 500 meters after your 7K, and take it from there."

It seems like a lazy idea at first but I actually tried it!

"Another 500 meters, girl..." I whispered to myself the moment my running apps told me that I have completed my 7K.

"And take it from there..."

And you know what, I stopped at 12K!

My 10K time is 1:08, then I went very slow for next 2K. It is not the fastest timing at the end but boy was I proud! Simply because I did not stop.

Finishing a 12K has made me feel confident to train harder for my first half marathon!

And what comes after that run? Now my comfort run is elevated to become a 7K-10K long.

Do you have any running tip(s) you want to share?

On Living Alone

So here's a low blow quote that I just read:
"If there's anything worse than a woman living alone, it's a woman saying she likes it." Thelma Ritter.

BuzzFeed, obvi.

To the Brokenhearted

I was planning to phrase a long winding paragraph of whining here, about things I am now facing in life. You know, just to get it out and make my head a bit lighter. Cause apparently, a bottle of Cab Sav (yes,a  bottle) I poured last night down all the way from my throat to my belly did not seem to work.

But then, I read the news here: Philippines Typhoon. And I rest my case.

My aching heart and prayers to the people of The Philippines. May you find strength in the midst of this fear and loss and I have faith this verse will help. Amen.
