my timing not very good lor as compared to my training timing... definitely did better when i was training with iain and roy during the holidays until i sprained the stupid leg... iain clocked 48min! definitely could beat his timing... hehee... cocky yeah....i wil try agn next yr!
on tt day itself actually i told roy tt i might halfway drop out and take ambulance bakc to ending point, cos during warming up..feet still hurts... but when i was there.. i see everyone warming up la... the mood over there simply motivated me just to run n run the 10 click...finish it... collect the goodie bag..leg pain or not pain... decide later... and yes... once i started running, leg hurts for like the first 2 click..but as the longer i ran... i forgot all bout it and all i wanted is just to complete in less than an hour! and little did i expect..i managed to...haha... i was very pleased with myseif at that moment tt i can complete it with a injured feet....but now i think of it... im displeased with the results already.. After the whole run.. damn... feet was crap man..the feeling sucks... i immediately went to the massage there took off my shoe and asked the person over there to massage my right feet for me!! hurts like #@!$! but well.. its worth it! i must say... okies...heres the pictures...
yeah....look damn relac...as comppared to the person to my right..dunno wth he stick out his tongue for...
ok.... now the shagged face... being chased by so many people behind me!!

started training in school already... today went gym with dar and jj but i din do much cos was'nt in the right mood for pumping iron.. wanted to go running instead to prepare myself for this coming sunday AHM 21k run. stayed in the gym until 530pm when its cool enough to run. started running from SRC to science faculty to NUH to Prince George Park Residence to Kent Ridge Hall to some ulu place in NUS to Faculty of Arts & Social Science to School of design & Environment to SRC again! tts i think 5k... wanted to run 15k but my feet hurts again! shit! thought it was alright already, but since i already started running, i decide to continue to clock my 15k... so i went for my 2nd round! finished my 2nd round... i gotta catch my breath and my feet was feeling weird...so i stopped and went back to gym to cool down! so only managed to run 10k only! Anyway i am really gaining weight lor... not the lean kind..but the FAT kind... cos when im running i can feel my tummy boucing up and down! I have to do something la... realised i train a lot but i also eat alot... my output is higher than normal people... but my input is far higher than normal people! so i decided! ITS TIME TO STOP EATING JUNK!!! if not my training will go to waste la! ok...from today onwards, i will have moderate training but with a healthy diet!
anyway i did went for last sunday newbalance realrun even though my sprain was still recovering...kind of crazy for me to run with injured leg... hmmm.. maybe i should be more responsible for my own well-being... but sometimes, i just cant help it! wil talk more about the run in the nextblog when i got the potos from roy!

[what u put in is what u get! u put in peanuts..u get peanuts! - terence ] unlike me.. cooping with 2 jobs! but think of it.i tink its definitely worth it! but wasted he got no pectorial (chest) and latssimus dorsi (back) jus wanna act cheem..but tink spelling wrong la! but still he has improved so much! my muscles has shrunk..my fats content has shoot up! ian sawme in the gym and his first reaction was.. " can see la..ur face became rounder" haha...
anyway! 2 more days to realrun now... and my leg condition got worse after i wore slippers and ran for a bus tt time... and now.. my ankle has a sharp pain whenever i walk... jialet. but this sunday im still going down to run la... try and cover as much as possible... until peng san...

the chocolate fountain... nice to play...nice to eat...nice to drink...

today i anyhow run! meaning... i ran aimlessly! started at 0530, ran from my house to bishan, went bishan park, ran amk... the speed today was fast...pretty surprised that im able to run far and fast today! probably its becos ive been resting for very long, with my last run on thursday i tink... now tt i have the endurance, perhaps its time for me to strength-train my legs... seldom train legs in the gym...guess it is time to in order to go one leap further!
i really have no idea where was i man...i just keep on running n running n running n running...n running until it was 0700 then i start to look for some prominent places so that i can get back on time. Ran until i saw Salvation Army, e one in bishan, then i followed the bus 13 route and ran back home! budden when im back, however it was only 0740. i start work at 0900!
nevertheless, it was a good run overall!
really need to find new places to run...getting sick of the same places!! where to~?
