It's interesting how things seem to fall into place when you're doing something that feels right.. a lot of people giving you good advice and amazing support, and the opportunities that suddenly seem to open up before you. But perhaps it's just a matter of opening yourself up to the possibilities in the first place that suddenly all these good things that you never realised were there are happening at all.
Anyway. I am currently on a Quest. The Quest to Find A Running Partner. I need to find someone of approximately the same running level as I am for Long Slow Distance runs, which usually happens on Sunday mornings. Any takers? Misery does love company! ;Op
Aaaand it seems that my incessant, weekend-long yammering about running has managed to convince a few people to give running a go too! Yay! Hopefully, that means I'll have decent running partners within the next few months. :O)
Also, I'm looking for a pedometer. An un-obscenely priced pedometer. Adidas had a {pedometer + mp3 player + heart rate monitor} set for some odd-RM500, which was the least ridiculously priced one I found that offered the most functions. But for that kind of money, I could be buying myself a decent pair of new shoes! Which I think I might have to get sometime pretty soon anyway.
I also found myself an online running log. And it's totally true what they say about running logs being a good motivator by giving you a visual representation of your achievements, because logging in last week's workout and seeing I ran an accumulated 35km gave me a rush like I've rarely before felt! Yay!
So, the trials go on. I'm currently working on bashing out a training program that will fit with my fitness & running levels and work schedule. Will share it here once I'm happy with it. From couch-potato to 5K to half marathon, in 8 months! Gambatte!
