Wad a wk...

I'm so glad tt hectic wk of the Shangri-La Dialogue is over.
After being a sickie n resting adequately for 4 days, i resumed training...uppin my training nw tt it's officially 6 mths b4 e marthie...
So here goes..

Fri: Took a day's leave with training bud, badminton in e morn n run in e gym
Sat: Bodypump n bodycombat
Sun: Bodycombat
Mon: Bodycombat
Tues: Bodypump
Wed: 1.5 hr run with training bud, interval training and static exercises

Thurs: Badminton sesh n half hr run
Went to join e experts play bad tog with training bud, they hv badminton sesh every Thurs at Temasek Club n it was jus awesome to play with them though i reallie suck compared to them. Their smashes make me shiver, haz...e sessions lasted 3.5 hrs n it was total fun! Plus, Peter, a gym instructor cum veteran marathoner who has a bod so tough n fit he looks like The Rock gave us veri useful tips on marathon training...His PR for e marthie is sub 3, woots! HIs trainin schedule's tough to replicate though...bt I'll keep at it!

Fri: Swimming
It was a nice leisurely swim... Sprawled out on e sundeck to read Runners World mag 1st then as e evening skies darkened, popped into e pool n did some laps, great way to unwind n gif my muscles some recovery time..
Sat: 1 hr run with trainin bud, interval training
Sun: Bodypump, Bodycombat n Bodybalance

This wud make 10 consecutive days I've exercised, a record for me so far, i think..Bt I'm so happy! The endorphins hv kicked in n done their job.. Training bud left for Rome n Paris last nite for work trip, no running buddy for me tis wk bt I had beta get used to training alone. Our plans for a 20 km early morn run at East Coast was ruined by e heavy downpour, quirky weather! I've signed up for the Milk Run which is on 2 July, same day as trainin bud's triathlon. This will be e first race for both of us tis yr though mine's reallie a wobblie compared to his.

Finally met e 2a'ers, it just felt gd to sit down with them, chill out n tok. Seems like lotsa pple r changing their jobs nw. I've fixed up my resume bt i think it needs some major tinkering still. Been quite exhaused with training to properly sit down n settle my stuff. I've given myself half a yr more bt starting early wun hurt, i guess...

n I've finally goten e much coveted Mphosis top!! I've nvr gone to such extremes for any clothes. Tis muz be e first. Was shoppin with trainin bud tt fri n saw tis top at Mphosis, decided to try it on n it was totally right bt decided nt to buy it 1st, thinkin tt perhaps they'll hv a sale sometime ltr. Bt 2 days ltr, I went right back to buy n e marina sq outlet was out of stock, i went to citylink mall n then bugis n both outlets were out too! Made a last ditch attempt n popped over to Taka n it was out of stock too! So last evenin, at PS, whilst waitin for e 2a'ers, i popped into Mphosis, nt reallie expectin to find it since it was nt even on the window display as it was in all e other stores n i found it right in e middle of e racks n even had new pieces too! Ha, i clutched it to my chest n bought it right away. Popped over to Dorothy Perkins n bought 2 other tops too n all these was within e span of 15 mins... my wallet's becomin anorexic soon...n there
's e Zara sale on 29 June which all my female colleagues hv oredi marked it on their calenders, haha, it's so funny..We're all Zaraists at e workplace..

Okie, off to check thr Recruit. Prayin for hot sun today, suntannin's on e agenda...
