still no sign.
Yes. still no sign of cute boy. boo. oh well, he's probably BUSY with more important things unlike me, whose life revolves around coffee (+cute boy), gym and school (note how the order the priorities are).
That said though it's ok. I'm in a happier mood today, probably due to the endorphins still in my system from my run yesterday morning. Yup. Yup. I did the melbourne half marathon yesterday and it was so, so, so good. I've proven that it's actually possible to complete the half marathon without actually doing alot of running, I mean of course, you still have to go the gym and all because you have to keep the stamina and a certain level of fitness, but it's possible. Although I am paying for it now. Yes.
Run specific training trains up the muscles that are quinessential to help you endure long distance running and minimises the time required for recovery (because if I didn't recall wrongly, I wasn't aching on the second day still the last time I ran 21km.), however in my case, because I didn't...I have been now waddling about (yes. waddling like a duck) for one and half days, I cannot go to the gym (which explains why I'm at home now, instead of at body attack class with liane) because I can barely walk down stairs or a slope without cringing..I can barely bring myself to run, because my thigh muscles are killing me. Ha. yes. So though it's possible to run 21.2km without doing any physical run training, I wouldn't recommend it because, if you're anything like me, you pay for it after.
shucks. reality hurts.
I'm still rather proud of myself though. Will post my official time when it comes up tommorrow. I think I did it in last than 2 hrs 12mins. Please please. please.
Anyway, I think samsung did a brilliant job with organisation and Stand Chart should take starting leafing through their operating manuals especially when it comes to water points. This marathon had water points every 2.5 km and their sports drinks had things in them even though the weather didn't really make it too much a necessity. Singapore on the other, probably requires water points every 2 km and not suddenly be in need of water or isotonic drinks in our weather at the 17km mark. Yes. I'm still sore about not having water last year after the 17km mark in the blistering, sorching sun. Don't like. Stand Chart though does an amazing job marking every kilometre...Samsung though kinda decided that it wasn't neccessary in the last 2 km i think.
so in other things, I've registered for my subjects next year, PURE LAWWWWWWW! shucks. and i'm going home soon. I know. Thank you becky, mon and gloria. and Cera LAI YAN WEN and jiemei. I'm hanging in there. I promise to not disappoint all that faith you guys have in me.
