Off for a week

I've not done any exercising since returning from Bali coz I've been having stomach cramps. Think I might have eaten something bad when I came back from Bali! haha. Anyway, I also caught some heat rash on my last day in Bali so I guess the last week was also time for the rash to heal properly.

Managed to do a run tonight after the week off and I completed a 7km distance from Bishan to Hougang. In some ways, I do prefer being able to run to somewhere instead of simply running in a circle. For example, I prefer running about 5km to my house in Serangoon rather than to run 2 rounds of 2.5km around Bishan. Only problem is, it's kinda hard to wash up after that since I am not home and it also means I have to pack some shirt to bring along with me on the jog.

I guess the bigger question is how am I going to keep up with my exercises now that the Stanchart marathon is on. I think Dr Chia had a point when he asked to sign up for the 10km Stanchart run because it did help me to keep up with my training. I seriously don't know if I want to train for a half-marathon or should I start taking up some other activity so that the exercising can remain fresh. But I know that I better decide soon so that I won't totally lose my momentum for exercising and start piling on the kgs.
