Keeping Track

I almost didn't want to get up and run this morning. It was a cool and cloudy day. Very, very tempted to sleep in. But I sure am glad I got up anyway. It was such a nice weather to be outside!!

The trail was wet this morning. My new shoes seem to give a good grip on the jogging track, but was slightly off with the cement and wooden part. I guess, I just have to be extra careful. Aside from that, I love the cushioning on my NB. It absorbs the impact very well and it felt as though there's an extra bounce when I run. And for heavy people like me, I think this lessens the strain on the knee quite significantly. So yup, I was sceptical before, but yes, a proper running shoe is very important if you are thinking of running regularly.

In order to reach my target of running one complete lap of the park, I've mapped out my own 'milestones' to keep track of my progress. There are 12 checkpoints altogether. I am now aiming to run up to the second checkpoint. Let's see if this works. :D
