1 more week to marthon

It is now one more week to the Singapore marathon and most runners must be in anticipation of this event, especially for first timers like myself. I will be running 42km for the first time in my life and after a few months of training, this is it! It is important to watch a few things in this week so as to enter the race in tip top form. First is your diet, try to load up on carbo heavy diet as this provides energy required for this grueling race. Pastas and bananas will help. Remember to drink lots of water to keep your body fully hydrated. Second will be the sleep, and it is important to clock enough sleeping hours this whole week so the tiredness will not be carried over to the race day. Lastly is training, light to medium training is advised as you do not wish to sustain any injuries and fall at the last hurdle. Lets countdown to the race of our lives!

New attire

I just bought a new set of jogging shorts to prepare for the marathon which is in a month's time. It is actually a pair of nike shorts with compression tights inside. It looks just like normal shorts from the outside. More importantly, it has zip pocket at the back which is useful to keep money and keys while running. I just tried the tights yesterday in my weekly run and it felt good. I am wondering if there is a need to wear underwear because of the tights. It is not advisable to wear so many layers inside while running. It generates a lot of heat and sweats easily.

Evening primrose oil

Perhaps I am running too often nowadays, the sweat is causing my face to be very oily and sticky. Hence, I am facing an outbreak of acne recently. I guess the best remedy for this is to apply the primrose oil acne. My skin is getting better now but the best way to prevent acne outbreak is to drink a lot of water and hydrate yourself and your skin. Good luck to all runners' skin!
