🏆 Day 1000 Run 🏁 ~ A 15,950K Journey over 1000 days 🔥

🏁 [𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟬𝟬𝟬] 🏆 Today is D-Day! 𝟭𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝟭𝟬𝗞𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗬 , no rest days, no off days, no sick leaves, no excuses; Just pounding the tarmac every single day, clocking on my minimal 10,000 steps or 10km daily. What better way to end this streak than a mid-week half-marathon along the routes that I have been running throughout the thousand days, from Marina Bay, around Gardens by the Bay, across the Marina Barrage, through Bay East, around 100-Plus Track at National Stadium, Singapore Sports Hub. Total distance clocked is 𝟭𝟱,𝟵𝟱𝟬 𝗸𝗺, which is approximately that 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗲 🇸🇬 𝘁𝗼 🇺🇸. The journey began when set a personal challenge to reach 100 days, then upgrade to 200, 300, 500 and then why not attempt 1000 days! #𝘿1𝙆𝙍𝙪𝙣 The route was never easy. Over the 1000 days, I suffered plantar fascilitis on both feet, each lasting months, an ankle sprain once, misstep and fell 3 times, and suffered 3 bouts of viral fever. But each time the body tells me to stop, the mind tells me not to. Stopping meant I would had to reset the streak, and I wasn't going to let that happen. I pushed through those dark days and pursued my 1000 Days Goal streak. It is also through these obstacles, I no longer chase after pace; slowed down and kept my focus on clocking the distance of 10K daily #𝙙𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙮10𝙠 , which eventually became 13K, as I started looping the Bay. Along the way came the Garmin Distance Clocking Challenge, which span over May 2020 to May 2021; I started clocking half-marathons over the weekends to push up my mileage. The perserveance paid off with eventually earned 🥇 No.1 spot for both distance clocked and special award for most activities. That started my sideline goal to do at least 100K each week. Since then, half-marathons on Saturday, Sunday and public holidays just became a norm. I made a point not to participate in races and marathons, so that I do not need to take rest days to recover. I kept to that eventually, but I still managed to do my first full marathon and checked that off my bucket list ✅ . Most importantly, I schedule my runs to fit my family schedule. Family comes first. After all, I run to keep fit for myself and to be always be there to take care of the family. Let me be their role model. With busy work 💼 and family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 commitments, it is never easy to find a sweet spot to blend in my workout regime. I swore never to sacrifice work and family to accommodate me. So I decided to take my runs pre-dawn. Up by 4 a.m. each day 🌙, gave myself the window to finish my runs before 6 a.m., so that I can be home to get my kids ready for school 🚸. That too became a norm, when I saw the benefits of starting each day with a good strenuous workout. So even when on holidays ✈️, staycation, work trips, the regime doesn't change!
