So tomorrow is the day I begin my 8 kilometer run. Yeah, I know I need to work more on pushups, situps and Jack Knives (they are still in the mix) but running is one of the few exercises out there that I enjoy doing.
Eight kilometers will be the farthest I’ve run consecutively (without stopping for a break) and the fact that I’ll be doing it while it’s blistering hot outside will make the journey all the more challenging.
In order to make the run all the sweeter, I’m planning on celebrating my victory by treating myself to an Asian buffet (at a lunch discount nonetheless).
The only downside to the run is the fact that I my new contacts will not arrive by tomorrow (sadness I know) so I’ll be running half blind (I have my glasses but my face sweats too much for them to remain securely upon my face).
I’ll be running in my new Trek LS five finger shoes (yes, I know they’re designed for treking but you can run in them too) as well as bringing along a liter of water so that I won’t die in the hot sun.
