I am actually quite disappointed with myself these past few months.

I realized that I'm not as fast and fit like before anymore. 'Before' here was just last year.

I've always thought that I could anytime match up to my NS-days level of fitness. Even after not running for a long time, I could regain my former levels in a week. But now, it's been three months and I'm still not there yet. Dang.

So yesterday I nearly killed myself, haha. I forced myself to run fast, desperate to see if it's all in the mind. Well it's definitely not in the mind. I'm just old. These legs of mine ain't what they used to be.

But hey, good news on the knee-front. My left knee still hurts a little when I'm running, especially when I'm changing directions in mid-run but it's getting better.

I've decided to add a knee-strengthening exercise in my regime last week and I'm glad to report that it's working. Now I don't feel unnecessary pain when I'm performing regular activities like walking.

Yeah! Off to my run now.
