21k


If you had asked me at the end of September, I would've told you that I am not a runner. Not even close. I've completed a few 5k races for various charity fundraisers over the years, but even then, they were run at a snails pace with no advance preparation.


But last week, along with lovely friends A and T, I ran 10 kilometres. 10 consecutive kilometres. And now, I think I finally feel like a runner. It may not seem like much, but the transformation from non-runner to runner happened a lot quicker than I expected. Running the first 10k wasn't easy, but neither were the 5k runs we were doing in September, and those feel like a breeze now.

Yesterday, we registered for the Hypothermic Half. 21k in February. No turning back now. I've surprised myself already and I'm really looking forward to longer runs and bigger goals.

  3. Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from
    somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really
    make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your
    design. Appreciate it

  4. I leave a response whenever I especially enjoy a post on a site or I have something to valuable to
    contribute to the discussion. Usually it is caused by the passion displayed in the article I
    looked at. And after this post "21k". I was excited enough to drop a leave a responsea response :
    ) I do have 2 questions for you if it's okay. Is it simply me or does it give the impression like a few of these responses appear as if they are coming from brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting at other online social sites, I'd like to keep up with anything new you
    have to post. Would you list the complete urls of your public pages like your twitter feed,
    Facebook page or linkedin profile?
