1. I have finally hit 4km! Started with 2.4km and I have successfully increased my distance bit by bit. What I do is I will try to improve on my timing for a fixed distance for 2-3 weeks, and when I hit my target time, I increase my distance. Hoping to do up to 5km in three weeks!
2. I still feel like dying when I am jogging, especially when I am at the 40-50% mark. Sometimes I just regret my decision and have a strong urge to just walk back home. So far, I haven't done that, I guess I will feel even worse mentally if I really do walk back halfway
3. Realized I might need to cut down on eating spicy food. I had prawn aglio olio for dinner last night and afterwards my stomach was burning (even when it was 2 hours after I had the meal) due the excessive cayenne pepper and chili flakes I added for the extra oomph. It was as if the food was trying to burn its way through me. I felt even worse after I started jogging! I could even feel the burning sensation up my throat, damn disgusting.
4. It's becoming a bit of a habit to run! I don't feel at ease if I didn't run twice a week lol. Hoping to maintain it for 3 months!
5. I start to be more conscious of what I eat because I know if I eat unhealthily, all my efforts at jogging will go to waste. Nowadays, I try to eat only half a portion of carbs for lunch, even though I know I will be hungry early evening. Because I know how much exercise I must do to work it off! Like yesterday, I drank a cup of milo and I took the first 15-20 mins of the jog burning away that one cup of milo! So much pain for a small pleasure :(
Philosophy:
1. Been reading a book called Sophie's World. It's my third attempt and I have reached the furthest yet. It's a book on the history of philosophy, presented in easy to understand prose. I've always been interested in philosophy because I've wondered about questions like "Who am I?" and "Do I have free will?"
2. After reading a section on Immanuel Kant, I found myself agreeing with him. He says that it is impossible to prove whether God exists, because we are a small small part of the world, and we have not experienced enough (because we are so small) to be able to come to a conclusion. And because humans have this innate need to look at everything with a "cause and effect" law, humans will continue to ask these type of questions.
3. The story plot is really quite ingenious! It's a little like Inception? Only it was published in 1990, before I was born.
End of my random musings! Thanks for reading
