C25K - Week 5 Day 1

First and third 3 mins run are slowed pace, but no huffing & puffing :)
Third run, my legs feel heavy.

Second was faster and no huffing & puffing. 

Hmm, both my knees feel sore.  Need to search for in runnersworld or coolrunning forum, to check if anyone else facing this issues.

boy .. i was so tired!

I was suppose to do w4 d2 today however I was exhausted! Starting off with sneezing in the morning, continue to sneeze and continuous running nose; all the time from morning till evening.

Night meetings, early morning and stressfull testing during the last 2 weeks really had a toll on me :(

C25K - Week4 Day 1

I was dragging my feet for Week 4; it was due to the 5 minutes run. Braced myself, it was now or never, right?

I didn't sprint or doing fast stride, it was slow and easy. Alhamdulillah, I never thought I could do it :)

Next 2 runs will be on friday and sunday.

Yay! i got my envirosax recycling bag

I love bags regardless; hand carried bag, sling bags, totes and not forgetting, recycling bags!

Recycling bags; intel, sunshine, jusco, clarins and watson. I have one placed in my laptop bag :)

Bought the bag from tinytapir for discounted price rm$20. There are lot of exciting stuff at the website.  The bag is small when neatly fold and very convenience to place in your bag or pocket before heading out the door :)

C25K - gruelling 3 mins run

I am now using Lyeston LLyod's week 3 podcast. No music, only instruction or cue to walk/run. First 3 mins run is ok but the second 3 mins are gruelling and I was waiting for voice that will say, "20 seconds left".

I have downloaded a neat GPS tracking application on my blackberry called SportyPal.  I tracked the 3rd run using the tool.

Below; is the map

C25K - Week3 Day1

First 2 mins, I was running fast but quickly slower my pace for the last 1 min run.  Alhamdulillah. However, I need to do week3 more as I was quite exhausted during the 3 mins run.

Just another manic monday!

Today, my brain clocked in at 4.30+am. Feeling fresh, it is due to essentials???

Banyak kerja!!

Argh, my weight went up by 200gram.. sigh

Started my run at ~10.15am today. Slapped sunscreen on my face and arms. Alhamdulillah, good run today.

Review: Anessa sunscreen. Its not oily at all, loving that. Can't tell if prevent my skin from burn because few days back, I went for my run/walk without any suncreen or wearing my hat.. I was toast!

Anessa Sunscreen is here! yippe

Alhamdulillah, I have received my package from AdamBeauty. Anessa is a brand under Shiseido. It is a sunscreen range. The one I bought is Anessa perfect UV sunscreen with SPF 50+ PA++.

AdamBeauty which is an online beauty store based in Hong Kong. It sells Korean and Japanese skincare & makeup. Placed the order on 27th September, item arrived in Malaysia on 2th October and finally received it today (3 days to clear custom).

I chosen this sunscreen as I read it provided good coverage. No matter how much sunscreen I put on, I always burn after swimming. Let's hope the sunscreen does what it suppose to!! I will post my review soon; probably this weekend. InshaAllah :)
