When i started exercising 10 months ago, 1km was already seemed like a long run. Whenever i completed it, i would be satisfied for the whole day and the pain that came with it will last for the next 24 hours.
Then, a 1km long run became 3km. Then, 5km. Then 7km. The distance kept getting further and further. Recently, i have been busybody with a couple of 10km runs. Each time i finished a 10km run - i would take a full day rest the day after just to recover.
The longest time i'd spent on runnning was 1hr27mins which i'd done in A'famosa and speculation, it was less than 10km.
Naturally, i hate running. I hated it since i was a kid. You cant blame me for hating it as it came from someone who'd the excess baggages everywhere around his body in his entire life. No matter how slow i am, running has never been easy for me.
However, today i broke another mental barrier. It was a test of courage. A test of how much i want to keep this journey of mine alive.
I took a challenge to run the Bkt Aman-Hartamas-Bkt Aman route. Never done this before. Never even dare to imagine it. Today, i'd decided to give it a try. Chief Kutu and IM Stupe said it is a 20km route, 10km one way. Gulpppp...
Aini said, to break the run into two. Think 10km x 2, rest half-way for refuelling.
