No Age Limit
Isn’t this 84 year old man amazing? He has participated in 44 marathons after the age of 55! Well I’m quite proud of myself too.. hehe. My regular running distance stretches to 10.40km now. It takes about 1 hour 10 mins to complete the entire run. My aim is to keep it within an hour. After running for about 1 month, my breathing has improved tremendously and I do not find myself desperately gasping for oxygen anymore . During the run on Monday, I sprinted at the last kilometer and amazingly my lungs could carry all the oxygen I needed. It felt great.
On the weekend, I would run on the 7km forest trail along MacRitchie Reservoir in the early morning with Gary, my buddy. Running on the treacherous stony trail is much tougher but it’s a great workout to strengthen the leg muscles. It is also a great opportunity for a family outing. Mom loves the morning walk at the reservoir, while my princess Charmaine hopes she could shed some weight with her walk-and-jog exercises. At the end of the workout, we would make our way to the hawker centre at Shunfu for a scrumptious breakfast – fried beehoon, chee cheong fun, prawn mee, coffee, ice milo, wanton noodles, you name it. I guess breakfast is the highlight of the morning. haha.
