The run I had for the past 2 weeks .

Nike City .

I found it very appealing as I managed to complete with 1 hour 25 mins .

But At Great Eastern run . My time was a failure .

I attributed that to lack of trianing . I wasnt able to get my heart rate up at all . It is going low and low .

and I feel breathless and slightly SICK ...

The Real Run 2010

Well This race cost me a bomb . 16 dollar taxi fare So can I say this medal cost more than the entry fees I paid .
MORAL OF THE STORY .
I Had to PUSH MYSELF Wake up early .
I realised when Eric was there , He give me morning call and I was able to wake up earlier , and also arranged from what time and what time we should be at where.
he even add in the traffic JAM . But for me. I am just to lazy . I just think I need 1/2 to take transport to the race location . And I would dilly dally .
Today I Was late . SO I asked for it .......This is an expenisve medal ...

These people were running ...

THE REAL RUN RACE . 17 OCt 2010

For this race , I WAS LATE . I wasted 16 dollar to take a cab to the Exhibution centre . And the road was blocked . I felt cheated because earlier I wanted to save , So I took a bus 109 there and then I change at Pasir Ris and took MRT To Expo Mrt station , thinking Expo is near to Singapore Exhibition centre .But then I found there is no big tents and starting point . I know I am late . I had to take a cab . I fared a cab at singapore expo and it cost me extra 2.00 . And after the taxi driver go in a big round bush and then it cost the amount to travel from hougang to clementi . Well. This run , I was alone . Well .I realised when Eric wasnt there , I feel maybe I run slow . i realise running with a friend can make a difference as there will be someone to pace you down .
Okay ... I will blog the medal later .
This real balance run , I dont think I will join anymore because I dont like the arrangment and logistic . Everything need money . U are to pay 1 for bag deposit and arrange for transport .
Changi Prisoner run was the best in term they had everything prepared out properly .
Another race was Passion Run .
Well coodinated .
WELL , I HAD FINISH MY RACE TODAY

Beurer Heart rate monitor

Yah I brought it yesterday ..AND SSH ...
Dun tell my parents ... that I brought another
HRT watch ....
But this money spend will PUSH ME
to work harder for my race day .
Maybe I should gave away all my vouchers given
to me in a race pack . I wanted to buy Mizuno product because
I was given a 30 percent voucher.
BUT ..when I went there, I saw the caps are not very trendy like
stain proof and the colour are boring .So I gave my vouncher to
the sales asistant to give to someone who may approach him
and buy mizuno products . I did something good yesterday !

Skin Compression clothing

I think THIS IS most expensive compression clothing I BROUGHt .
My dad were asking u ARE U A PRO ? WHy are u lavishing on sport products .
Opps I cant answer that .BTW , dont tell my parents that I brought the Beuer HRT watch . I wore this on Mizuno wave and it feel prefect .
But the point is , It look funny where everybody wearing shorts and you are the only wearing this recovery pants.
Well....I dont know when I wear it again .

heart Rate monitor

brought it yesterday at Great eastern race pack collection event at Kallang leisure at ACTIVE 360 . This watch was sold at promotional price when u buy the compression clothing . So I brought it when the sales told me there is steps target and I was interested in the finger sensor technology .
Okay I brought this expensive thing . The bad thing is .. I will be poor ..Butnever Bonus is coming ..OH .. a bit thinking why I got implusive buying brain?
But I think it is still good .
Make in germany .
with pace tracker
Steps
calories burn .
Use finger sensor technology .
I WILL REMIND MYSELF TO EXERCISE EVERYDAY AFTER WORK TO MAKE THIS WATCH FULLY . I got a TIMEX HRT with the band to measure heart rate. It tend to run out of battery when I use it at my gym session in my office .So Now , I decided not get this . And after work , when I go for a walk back home,this be a good use.

KICK butt Enegry Ball

This is used early before I went for the race. The caffeine cotent was 40g ,it didn't cause jittery affect .Whether it make me feel filled . I am not sure .
Nice tasting due to capoicano

Zensah

TO BE Honest , I feel this bra was better than Reebok bra .
Same as the remarks I given about the trouser. It is made in italy.
Quite cooling and dont feel stick.

Zensah ZCompression 1/2 Wear

I wore this for the real run race today . I find it effective in regulating tempature and mositure wicking .
But the cons is there is no compression feeling .

Sports accessories-Zensah , Skins Compression , KickButt Energy Ball, HRT watches

tODAY i WAS LATE . i didnt want to wake my dad up . SO I took bus by myself . I thought without a running partner I SUPPOSE TO BE BETTER .
But I realised that sometimes having someone to run with you , it will keep your pace . That means U will be always trying to catch up with your partner . That will have faster time .

After taking the kick butt coffee balls . It didnt give me jittery as yesterday i did have jitter . Maybe I didnt take much caffine in the morning .


The Compression clothing .
The ZENSAH clothing was quite good in term , I dont feel stuffy as when I put on nike bra . I felt the heat generated . This is really moisture wicking . Thermal regulating and comfortable .But it does squeeze or compress your muscle than a SKIN compression wear . OF COZ price is something we give in exchange for compression and comfortable feeling .

Skin Image.

Pro Good cool feeling like skin .

Skin Compression

SKIN COmpression wear .
This is good brand and after workout feel recovery faster .

The Zcar

Earlier I brought SKINs . I find skin product quite good and feel muscle cramp and heal faster.

Compression clothing

This compression clothing was brought at 100 Bra and 1/2 shorts . It cliam to have benefits .

The Race pack cause me to SPEND again

Okay Back to marathon crap . I went down to kallang leisure and I Didn’t bother to pick my PHONE CALLS .Opps .. I think someone cursing me . “Why is it we say it well and U didn’t appear even my car was there to pick u up .” Comon I paid for it . U just don’t attend , and You didn’t want to pick up .
WELL FRIEND , not because I don’t want to pick up because I know I NEVER SAY NO to anybody . I rather not pick up .
SORRY .. I wasn’t in mood to go some matchmaking stuff .Maybe oneday I will attend coz my best friend told me he got his wife via that .2 of them ..BUT I think my race pack collection is more important than anything . Tomorrow I wouldn’t have time to collect my race pack .
SO I had to just ignore my phone and went to LONER RANGE MOOD .
There I seen a few booths..
DESIRE INSIDE .
Buy a Walkman running ( 129) .BUT .. I told myself NO … I had one working machine . And I brought ANTI SWEATY EAR PIECE , what more .
The Active 360 .
I ended buying the sports compression clothing . I don’t know how good this is . BUT I will try it on my race day and share with u all how is it . Reason I brought it because someone said I look funny indirectly with my SKINS . SO I ended purchasing this ½ length compression shorts and then a sport bra . WELL , there is promotion on heart rate machine . IT IS Sensor technology and made in Germany . I wanted something to track my EVERYDAY TRAINING SESSION WITH MELVIN .although he said I could rely on his GPRS and his gadget .But I am quite stubborn . I want to be independent . I BROUGHT the heart rate watch .OPPS ..SOMEONE WILL BE KILLING ME ..MY DAD will be 1st . I kept everything in a secret compartment . And then if Yoda read this..he will remind me that …OPPS …..BUT I don’t care , I don’t want to always okay MEL ,how many distance we cover today after work ? AND I don’t want him to remove his sweaty HRT band and borrow to track my heart rate . COZ I GET NERVOUS .
Anyway I had an TIMEX HRT Track rate . I like that watch I brought a few month back . BUT I planned to use it only race day . It is quite expensive to use it for my daily training . AND THIS watch had special benefit tracking how many steps I walk in day . YAH YAH YAH .. You guys must be saying .GAL , U just brought 2 pedometer and why u want this watch ? I don’t know I would had hundred thousand reason to buy things . WELL ..Maybe … can I sell my pedometer when I am familaire with THIS HRT watch new function PEDE.
I brought SKIN compression earlier. THAT WAS SUPER GOOD . I don’t know it is placenta , that my ankle and muscle wouldn’t as painful as without my SKIN COMPRESSION CLOTHING ..

KICK BUTT .
The sales guy let me test some chocolates and it look GOOD Because IT HAS NO FAT . CHOCOLATES WITH NO FAT . WOW ..TAT BEST . and can be taken as instant boost . I like the taste of CHOCOLATES with caffeine . He recommend taking it before my run . It will keep me filled abit . I tried it when I took the train home . I found them not very fulfilling but taste nice .
TOMORROW I Shall kick start my run with my caffeine Energy GEL and FANCL Stimulate FAT LOSS DRI . Yah ..GUYS I am looking forward to buy HORNET JUICE . Well Thank the bank , they didn’t link my mobile and I couldn’t do online purchase. Hoohohohoho..
I m not a SHOaholohic . Because shopaholic IS PRETTY YOUNG LADIES WHO GOES FOR LV AND GUCCI . WELL , if I could afford one .I don’t mind .BUT That pieces of JUNK IS much for my salary . I couldn’t afford .My boss said I am GETTING BONUS . So It is good to invest my bonus on these SPORT stuff .

Fat killing drugs and the Carnitine

L-Carnitine and Acetyl L-carnitine:
http://www.thebody.com/content/art53900.html

So which one is better?

I found this on the website NUTRIFIRST .
I planned to get them . It state to boost my stamina and help the deposits of fat.

I know L-Carnitine is more expensive. I brought from Holland & barrett .N Acetyll-carnitine with alpho lipoic acid . I feel that they are quite good as it is mixed with alpha lipoic acid.
I found that in Fancl Prefect Slim it also contains L-carniture with Aphla lipoic acid.

INto Running- Runner World Magazine

Had a good run with a friend who willingly come all the way to my place and jog with me.

I borrowed his runner world magazine . I thinking of buying this magazine. This friend of mine become a pace maker.I confess that been a pace maker for a lousy runner like me is quite easy , but it is hard for good runner like him to suddenly run slowly for my sake. .

The poor thing is after his jog , he would cycle all the way back home.Wow .That is double exercise so I get how he get his shaped fit body with he-man leg.

I shared with him I want to hit records for my marathon run 1 hr 20 mins and he inspire me to go running everyday.But I forgot my shorts today .So I am not sure if I will go jogging for today . I know on friday I would STOP RUNNING although he wanted to run everyday with me.But I think before the real match come , I should rest for a day .

Yesterday I was so tired ,that after dinner, I went back to bed.

I was encouraged by when someone share with me ib my run ," Sometimes u just had forgive what others done to u. RELEASE ALL OLD HURTS ,PAINS and whatever , forgive everybody including yourself . Yah ...


I was discouraged from buying runner magazine as this magazine for PROs and I could borrow from him anytime . I feel like telling him so can I cut up the pages inside .hahahahahah.

He also advised me about compression clothing is . "He never believe in putting on compression clothing would help u to run faster. but it is only daily consistence training would help one perform and deduce injury .
"
I asked him about ascii shoes. but he said new balance shoes are fine as well . It doesnt mean expensive shoes gave u good support .

The recommendation was I did right when I brought the TIMEX heart rate monitor . Because Timex is a reputated brand. I had new stuff to buy and IT IS A GPRS .hahahahah...
I know all my blogger reader friend would be cursing me .

SIAO AH ... your money dont spend , u feel like dying right?hahahha..

Anyway ...he told me that he can be my GPRS ,he stated that he could track the distance between any places .
So he quote yesterday we run 4.7km .well well well. I prefer some machine to tell me how long had I run ........

I read a book about conditional training .He could be my personal gym .but I hate going to community centre and fight for machines...hmmmm..for a very very picky lady like me... I guess ..hahahahah...

I am blessed with true friends. I am blessed ....
