Folk, I See You Tryna Do It Like Me

I survived my first ever TEN KILOMETRE run!
It was a nice cool saturday morning and the route was Taman Warisan Putrajaya (Yup i drove all 50km for a 10km run.. You'd better believe it) pass by the Palace of Justice, a slight uphill to PICC and back through the same route. Total exact distance : 10.96km. Total time : 1hr 40 mins.

Running stats :
Lap 1 (1km)- Avg pace :8.47/km Total time :8.46
Lap 2 (1km)- Avg pace :8.11/km Total time :8.11
Lap 3 (1km)- Avg pace :8.22/km Total time :8.22
Lap 4 (1km)- Avg pace :8.58/km Total time :8.57
Lap 5 (1km)- Avg pace :9.23/km Total time :9.22 (by this time ive started walking for a bit since we were starting to climb towards the PICC)
Lap 6 (1km)- Avg pace :8.58/km Total time :8.57
Lap 7 (1km)- Avg pace :9.22/km Total time :9.22
Lap 8 (1km)- Avg pace :10.04/kmTotal time :10.04 (ankles were starting to hurt)
Lap 9 (1km)- Avg pace :9.17/km Total time :9.16
Lap 10(1km)- Avg pace :10.27/km Total time :10.26
Lap 11(1km)- Avg pace:10.27/km Total time :10.26 (masa masa nih dah semakin pancit dan ankle semakin unbearable)
Lap 12(963m)-Avg pace :9.24/km Total time :9.03

Im just so proud of myself as the most i have done is 5km during the Brooks fun run.. and my weekday runs/walk are only around 3.5km per session, and even then it was mostly walking then running/slow jog. But on Saturday i dare say that i ran/jogged 80% of the way!(wooo hooo).. of course many thanks to Super J and Amazing A for being my coaches for the day. Ive realized that long distance running is best done with a friend or a partner.. as you tend to easily get discouraged (patah semangat, penat) when running alone.. So im glad the gurls were around, who even kindly slowed down to run with me.

On a similar note.. this would make a perfect running song.. OH MY GOD ..you definitely HAVE to watch this...


now shake it!..
