2017 Weekly - Week 49

03/12/2017

It's official. I've reached my goal of 5000 meters. I finished it at 40 minutes and 30 seconds, just under 41 minutes set by myself a year ago. I have stuck at just over 41 minutes a few times, thinking that this may be it. But tonight I gave it a final push, thinking again that it's my last chance this year to reach my goal. I started this year at 44 minutes and now I finish 2017 with three minutes better. This is by no means a great running record but I said it before and I will say it again that running or fitness is a competition with oneself. We are all different, of different build, biology and daily lives. As long as I am better than myself a year ago, then it's a real and meaningful self-improvement.

As entering the last month of 2017, I feel I need more motivation to finish everything, at least at work. A few weeks of holidays are waiting for me, I know. I just need to summon up courage to finish a few things off.

I am still waiting for 10 Downing Street or TM to say the sensible things after this outrageous statement across the pond.

Once my french teacher said to us about not drinking water after having couscous. I began to understand (painfully) what she meant tonight.

5000 meters at 40 minutes and 27 seconds! I did it again, 5000 meters under 41 minutes, twice in a row! Beyond excited. What a nice way to end this year.
