Outdoor Versus Indoor Runs



It has been raining a lot lately to the point that I couldn't run for many days. Somehow, I wanted to run now because I have only 3 more runs this year and I wanted to finish strong in all 3 runs. Well, I know I can complete the runs but what is next? Really just to finish strong.

Time flies and there is only exactly 1 month to Penang Bridge Run. I want to take me final lap seriously. Out of no choice, I signed up for a free trial at Fitness First. One my first day, I already recorded 22.44km. Surely, I have a reason to be proud. Apart from the KL marathon, I had never tried that distance!

Anyway, I went back to the gym nd completed another 10km today.

Well, I miss the fresh air, the flowers' fragrance, the greeneries, the monkeys and the chirps and waterfall. The guy tried to sell me a 12-month gym membership of RM109 per month. Since running in February, it has always been outdoor in the garden or by the sea. Now the stuffy, sweaty gym is charging RM109. Ok of course the gym has its perks like free flow 100 Plus and shower, lockers and I did my 22.44km watching the tv. I could monitor right in front of me, what distance, what pace etc. 22.44km seemed so much easier suddenly.

I guess each place has its perks... but somehow, I miss being with nature. Wish I could live at the brink of the jungle if not in it.

Anyway, time to sleep and dream of mother nature for now.

Xoxo.
