Activitybased Lifestyle

After worrying about this race due to my recent bout with cold ( I am still coughing actually) I tried to pull this last half marathon held in Fort Lauderdale. It's my 3 half marathons in 3 months. Surprisingly, I did good with this last one clocking 02:18:40 which is much better than my previous two half marathons. Not that it matters to anyone but it feels good to better myself each year. This one race though is a race of cramps (again) because I sort of 'gave my best'. No Garmin, no worrying about pace, Lord, even my right arm was cramping - I just had a cold so I thought of finishing the whole damn thing as fast as I could and then go home to sleep. I was worried to death about making my coughing worse. One thing I learned is, when cramping, either stop and walk or lessen the speed to as slowly as you can. I need to work more on this - but really, I don't have time anymore to contemplate my running - I am just tired of it. For now, the three halves are done and there.

My next goal is to get better with speed - I'm gonna focus on some 5ks. I will continue with the normal training though. And oh, yeah, I need to go back to the gym. After sleeping the whole day, I feel good.
