Decided. No races for 2010.

I will be taking the year 2010 off from races.

It will be a busy year with my overseas attachment in Germany and the National Day Parade. If I cannot do it well in 2009, I strongly doubt that I can be better prepared in 2010. But I am really looking forward to the 2 months plus in Germany, hopefully there is some free time for me to put in some training, wanted to make good use of the cool weather.

But I will still be there at races to soak in the atmosphere and support fellow runners.

It is a long shot. But if I can reach my targeted weight, I will be back racing earlier.

It is open secret that I am having problems with my weight recently. And the increasing weight is putting a lot of stress of my ankle, and slow me down by a lot. I have been eating the same food over the years, just that my exercise output has reduced so much, that it all went to my weight.

So next year, I intend to go back to basics. I want to work on my weight. I want to train regularly and go back to my old routine. It seems to me after years of slacking, my legs have forgot how to run. I am "not running", I am not even lifting up my legs.

No more slacking. I cannot afford to slack anymore. No more after what happened today.
