12km...

i just ran 12km. heh heh... well, i actually surprised myself. wanted to do a long run to burn away all the food i had over the past few days. kinda felt guilty about it but had not planned for 12km per se. nonetheless, i just ran and ran and ran. and by the time i completed the full route, my runkeeper registered 12km. heh heh... and i was like oh wow... 

interestingly, as i ran, i thought of lots of things. work, friends, life in general, blanking off, and of cos, the number of calories i'd be burning. and was kept crossing my mind was - 1 kueh tart is equivalent to about 65-70 calories. so, if my run can burn 1000 calories, i would be able to burn about 14-15 kueh tarts... and this kept my mind occupied. it took away the boredom away at times. and it was rather meditative i must say. so, in the end, i completed 12km. this is equivalent to about 920 calories or 13-14 kueh tarts. 

haha!

ps: but well, i realized i had blisters on my middle toe after the run! aiyoh... the last time i had blisters was more than a decade ago!
