Aha Aha Aha!

Me has just run 3.2 miles (i.e 5k) in 25 mins after eons. Basically, moved to a stray-dog-less neighbourhood and my year without running is at an end, InshAllah.

My watch is breaking down and my shoes too, so I ran without the HRM and in my regular sneakers instead of my running shoes. Tried running a bit on my toes. Trying to build their durability up for greater bounce and speed.

Wasn't aiming for it. I didn't realize it was 5k until afterwards, and I was just planning on running 1.6m anyway. The area is somewhat hilly, like Pindi, so there were some uphill/downhill bits, and since the footpaths are nice and wide and since the main run is straight on Fairfax's main road, it was well lit even at 11:30pm. I was exhausted, but the weather was beautiful, with the first drops of light rain starting to wet my tee just as I was finishing up. Hamstrings ached sharply afterwards, but that's what I get for neglecting running for a year.

Did light weight-training for about an hour later too, but really, all I need to do to get a half-decent body again is drop something like 20 pounds.

Sigh, it's so nice to be writing on a blog no one (no one important anyway! Haee lagee Ahmad?) reads again. I can be that much more... open!

Anyway, pray I build this up not so much in distance, but both speed and regularity...
