Up and running...

Hehz, after tt horrible infection I had, I guess I was too smug for my own gd cuz I swung into my usual exercise regime almost immediately after my 2days mc was over n was down with a bout of flu n cough tt has persisted till today...
New Balance Real Run was last Sun, clocked a lousy timing of 1hr 4 mins...tt's like 10 mins slower than my Mizuno run..I felt dizzy thr'out e NBRR run n was battling e sniffles, nt to mention e disgusting sand leg...
Sigh...Army half marathon is tis comin Sunday, i reallie wish to clock a better timing..

saw Shizhi n Chingling after e run, was great to see ya guys! Been taking training bud's advice n carbo loading tis wk, whilst takin it easy on e runnin regime, onli intend to run once tis wk for maximum recovery...I reallie hope to clock a better timin than my last 21k run which was durin Standchart, timing then was 2hrs 12 mins.. Ipod Nano has been a great MOJO..me n training bud finally broke our mileage record, we did 25km 2 wks ago, on a Friday nite..We set off for East Coast after work, started runnin at 7 plus n finished 25km in 2 hrs 40 mins....After 20km, the lactic acid was building up in both my knackered legs n in serious danger of cramping...Listened to mostly Jay Chou's songs thr'out, it was awesome...I lk listening to English songs in e day n Mandopop at nite...

DND was last fri at Grand Hyatt, i was part of e DND comm n it was quite hectic bt Vegas nite was quite a success...It struck me hw fast time flies...It seemed jus a while ago tt me and Pam had dressed up as Bollywood damsels for DND 2005..

Banana is right beside me, shall chow on it ltr for pre-gym snack n form of carbo loadin for AHM...Gabbie's runnin e 10km tis yr n with e new route, we'll run to Orchard Rd and Chinatown as well, I can't wait! Hope I can clock sub 2h12m, fingers crossed!

A year of sickness...

Yeah, a year of sickness wud be wad I rem 2006 as...
was looking at e last entry i had abt fallin sick n it was on 11 July, less than a mth ltr, i'm on mc again n e worst ever tis yr...
Everything was fine, i went for e Mizuno 10km run, 15 km training runs at Botanic Gardens, 20km at East Coast, bodycombat, bodypump n yoga n nw, i can hardly roll out of bed...wad a bummer!
Gt woken up at 3 plus am yest by sharp pains in my tummy n i was wrecked with pain for an hr plus b4 finally decidin to wake mum up....was reduced to tears cuz e pain was too much for me to take, then i threw up, was shivering n started runnin a fever.
Had to sms my dep director to ask him to excuse me frm lunch with e koreans.

saw e doc to whom i've already become a regular patient, she exclaimed, "why r u here again? poor thing.." yeah, i felt reallie sorry for myself too, had an infection n fever n she told me i had to be hospitalised if my fever went up or if e pain spread to e right side. The whole of yest, i was just lying in bed n i wud be either shivering or sweating profusely n felt like puking the entire day, ate nothing bt some grapes...today felt a little bit better, managed to eat some breakfast bt e churning sensation in my tummy has not subsided, neither had e urge to puke...was supposed to go to the new Fitness First outlet at Millenia Walk for combat n pump n a training run tis evening at Botanic gardens, all has come to naught now. There's a New Balance Real Run trainin session at Sentosa at 0730 hrs tml too, given my current progress, i doubt i'll be able to make it.

I hate falling sick!
