Running like a Champ!

Today is my second day i start running with nike pro app. It is nice and motivating -- the app i mean lol. Running is my new activity since i realize my stamina is decreasing. How do i know that? Last sunday, I had a basketball game. My performance was good even better than usual - it might be because i ve got no job recently that i do only going to gym and playing basketball. But at second quarter i felt like my body was so heavy and i cant barely move my body. At the moment i thougth that my stamina was decreasing very badly.
In order to bring back my stamina to the max, i start to run, download di app and excute!

My first run took place at an unused area next to my house. It is a field with flat ground and dominated with white sand - it might kinda chalk or something. It was 6:20 am when i started.


My second day of running was done on 9am (it was hot), I dont know why on earth i would run in that hot weather. But i guess breaking the record is the answer Lol. Anyway my second day of running was a tiring activity today. Moreover I had a basketball training a night before. Breaking the record was very fun. Ive done 3.03 miles of running. It means i ran 0.63 miles further than the day before.

Batam Basketball League

Batam Basketball League 2014 begins. The annual games for all basketball club in batam island. Our first match was yesterday, sunday evening (May 5th). For the record, I am a member of Banas -- one of basketball club in batam. Our opponent in first match was Boomerz.

It was a hot night, the temperature was so hot. Moreover, members of both teams know each other. It raises the sense of competitiveness. Their defence was so tight, they has got so much energy. Vice versa, we seems to be so tired. Maybe it because we dont have enough conditioning before the match. As the result is their team penetrated our defence easily. Luckly we have a good coach, Lolo. His decision helps us to organize our both our defense and offense.

In first quarter, the score was tied. I think both of teams were nervous. We had our first time out after we had left 6-0 in the first 2 minutes. If im not mistaken, i scored 4 points in this quarter. The second quarter we played well. But in the third quarter, we were tired, so many turnover was done, I believe this was our worst quarter of the game. In quarter 4, we played well but they played better. The final score was 49-29. I scored 13 points, 7 points in the first half, 6 points in the second half.
