start early

8° celsius. sunny but very windy. 10:40 (1:32:29)

there were so many sporting events on tv today and i decided to start early so that i could watch it later after i finished my run. drove to alster and wasn't surprise to see so many runners doing their rounds. luckily at this time of the day, there weren't that many people taking a walk along the lake!



started with warming up stretching. i wouldn't want the same thing to happen to me like the last time around. i started really slow this time, running anticlockwise around the alster. it was really windy. luckily i wore handgloves cos the wind was quite icy. during the run, i saw some runners wearing shorts and i believed they must be swearing cos the sun had betrayed them - not much heat just the cold wind that took over. by the way, i guessed that would pushed them to run faster to get back home too.

the wind couldn't decide from which direction, it wanted to blow. i hate it. for me it always came from the front, then at the side. why was it not from the back to push me faster?

after completing one whole round and drank my water, i'd decided to run the opposite direction (clockwise), with the hope that this time, the wind came to my help. but it was just a hope which didn't materialise. on the way, i saw two boys (must be only 6 or 7 years old) running with their dad. wow, they really start early these boys. a few hundred meters later, i saw two young girls with their parents running. wow, hut ab. these kids must be either very sporty or were just being dragged by their parents.



i continued my run today really slow cos i know that i have to run far tomorrow morning. the sky was grey and it rained right after i completed my warming down.
