Another milestone + Thank you 'Hers'

Doing a Mr RezaFaizal post on Soulkoneshen.blogspot.com

On Saturday I only managed to do a 6.5 km run after 60 mins and finished at 6.8 km after 5 mins cooldown. My knees gave in at the 45th min mark and only finished my session with a 5.0 walk till the 60th minute.

Today I did not know what got to me and the above picture was the result after 65 mins which included a 5 min cool down.

I reached the 7 km mark at the 57th minute mark at a speed of 8.2

I stared with a 5 min walk at 5.0

At 5 to 20 mins at 8.2

21th min ran at 7.0 - 22 to 25th min walked at 5.0

At 25 - 40 mins ran at 8.2

41th min ran at 7.0 - 42-45th min walked at 5.0

At 45th - 47th min ran at 7.5

At 47 - 60th min ran at 8.2

Today I also had the pleasure of introducing myself to Mr RezaFaizal. I did not really get a chance to see how his run went but I tell you he is a dedicated runner and very focused. Maybe I could pick up a few pointers about running from the man himself the next time I see him.

Today also my knee did not give in as I was afraid that it would and I am thankful. I dedicated my run today to my wife to be. There was a small family gathering on her side at her grandparent's crib today for lunch and I actually did not want to attend as I did not want to eat lunch and just head to the gym.

Not that I am totally neglecting food but we had a dim sum brunch at Emperor's Court with our close friends and I was already full.

She insisted I come to the small 'makan' and allowed me to go to the gym after that. She was so supportive and said to take as much time as I wanted to spend. I only helped myself to a small portion of vegetables and water and I went to the gym.

I would like to thank 'Hers' for her support and understanding
for allowing me to go to the gym and finishing rather late to pick her up from
her grandparent's crib. I am sorry and I love thee with al my heart. Trust me
this will all be worth it in the long run.

I feel great each day and each day I will always try to better
myself.

Hi SirT, your photos of the treadmill display is very clear. What camera/phone you use?

BTW... I also notice that the treadmill doesn't display the calories burn... checkout my post http://rezafaizal.blogspot.com/2007/01/jpmc-treadmills.html on my instruction to use the treadmill

Seeing how much calories you burn during running is also exciting. At least it help me keep off "junk food" or maybe just a bite.
