Blood Donation & Running

Today i went for blood donation at General Hospital Miri at morning. It already 14 time i done it. I start donated the blood when in secondary school (1998) until now. But i stop doing it when i at university and i'm continue to donate again when i start work.

Blood Donation is a health process and it will not give negatif effect to our human body. Besides that, we may be saving other life. Cause everyday, the demand for the blood always grow. Nothing to afraid to donate blood because the process is painness.

The evening, i went for light run at Miri Stadium. I take few photos.

Runs

Too tired to runs today, so not runs be record today. Another day at office, but i already completed 5 runs total for 34.75km. Not too bad for beginner like me. I hope i can improve my runs next week. It almost one week already, i starting the runs. The progress was slow but i hope i can gain more ground on coming weeks.

I need to improve my running skill, cause the running skill i have currently are not good for me anymore. So, i need to find better way to runs fast and more efficient. My stamina was on average level, and i hope i can improve it also.

My plan is to run a less one marathon this year.
