Another run done..^^v

Nike WeRun KL is my fourth run, so far all the runs are great. But there are many people complaining about this year's Nike run, to me it was ok, just the part where we need to soak our shoes into the mud minus off some marks. In the racing kit itself there is one 20% discount voucher, it was more than grateful for me to have it because I was stressing my head to find a pair of running shoes below RM 200. I need to get a new pair because my old one was torn from Salomon trail. I've tried searching all around but the cheapest I can get is still lower than RM 220 but higher than RM 200. The first Nike branch I went was with a lot of running shoes that has been discounted, the voucher is not valid for discounted items and of course those without discounts are undoubtedly new designs and they are expensive, from the range of RM 300 to RM 500. Travel again to another branch and this time I found two RM 200+ before discount so I quickly grab both of it and try it on. Unfortunately the pair that I like the design better does not have striking colour so I chose the other one. After discount it was RM 191, 9 bucks below my budget! I was so happy :)

This run I have enough motivation to keep on running and the frequent water stations help a lot. I find that I can last longer without stopping right now.

I kinda like the finisher tee

A good achievement for myself...*\(^^)/*

Unlike the Salomon trail run where I was very dehydrated and longing for water. For some reason I need to keep on telling myself to run and don't stop, the motivation is not there at all. First, I was thinking how should I bring myself to UPM Serdang which is darn far away from me, then, the person who persuaded me to join ended up didn't make it because she wasn't feeling well. There goes my first trail run~

During the run, yes, it was tough. Every second I wanted to give up, maybe because I was alone. Then I saw a foreigner who maintain her speed and ran stably. I followed her and I was fine with her speed so then I went up to her and told her I wish to run together. Actually I was only trying to find myself motivation to keep on going. She helped my mindset a lot in that sense. I told myself to chase her every time I slowed down until the final kilometer I gave up chasing, I was very tired, I just ran to my own comfy level and completed the run :)
