Started my run this morning at 7.09 am sg time, from Yio Chu Kang Road just before junction with Ang Mo Kio Ave 4.The first km was slow at 7:11 per km. I ran pass YCK Mrt station, then NYP along AMK ave 5 to buangkok green. It was a really a struggle today for me, legs was feeling heavy and I ran at a slow speed just to get in some mileage.

Need to do some exercise to improve my core muscle group and also to reduce my body weight by at least 2 kg. Just have to keep training and pushing to run faster time.
