I went for my first 8 km run yesterday after work with soonheng and junxiang. Thanks to them, they made me run all the way to touch the barricade before turning back. It was initially agreed that I was to turn back with them when I see them coming back from the barricade. Instead, they assured me that the turning point was only a short distance away which indeed it was. If not for their encouragement, I would have probably started walking after turning back because my knees were seriously aching. My endurance paid off after all, and the long-distance run also relieved me of my stitch at the start of the run. Surprisingly, when I reached the 1.2 km turning point, my knees did not ache and I was able to increase my pace a little bit. The familiar surroundings sort of boosted my morale and I picked up speed as we finished the final 1.2 km of the run. Both of them were surprised I still had strength to increase my speed at the end. *Grins*
Anyway I was surprised my muscles did not ache yesterday night or this whole morning. But just as I reached home after work. A flex of my thigh brought the ache which I was missing for. As usual, I can never run away from the ache and that would probably put off running for tomorrow as well. A big thanks to both soonheng and junxiang for being willing to run with me, though they are training for their full marathon as well. Thankew brudders haha!!!
