Run Journal #13 - May 8, 2018

Latest Run (Week 4, Day 2)

Just a short note today.

Forging on to today's run. Had another nice run overall. There's nothing spectacular really to report; perhaps the only gripe I can think of is having to slightly gasp for air towards the end when I pushed myself a bit further.

As @browery suggested in a comment on one of my post, I'll be taking a break tomorrow as I also have urgent appointments to attend to anyway. But I will still try to do some relaxing walks in the spirit of keeping active.

Let's all strive to keep healthy!

Here are my running times (*** Denotes Personal Best):

Running Journal Overview: This is a run series journal that I aim to update regularly. My objective for posting is to give myself a check and hopefully implant the discipline of being consistent with my fitness plan into my system. I invite everyone who comes across this journal to also adopt a healthier lifestyle and be more active and fit. Your fitness goals may not be the same as mine, but let's try to achieve our goals together.
