So many things in such a short time

WOW. Where do I begin?!

I've been trying to get myself to post something up here ... but every time I wanna do it, I've got no idea where to start ... OR, there's just too many things that I wanna write that I foresaw myself running out of time before my next appointment!

The last time I posted about myself was just a day after national champs. I actually spent about 3 days after that trying to recover from the effort I put in during the race, and although I thought on that tuesday that I could just continue my normal training, my body seemed to tell me otherwise. So yes, I gave myself a bit of break, both for my physical and mental well - being and started a new training block on the first week of July instead.

Interestingly, it wasn't till after that few days of break that it finally sank in that I was the new national champion. Quite amazing how your body can just tune everything out including thoughts and just focus on repairing itself.

Last week was a really happening week for me by my standards, and my body just couldn't take it. Did so many things in a short span of 6 days that my body totally crashed on the 7th day.

What happened was that Shing had block leave the whole of last week ... as well as Ji En's last week in Singapore before he flew off to Aussie, and that simply meant a couple of stayovers ... lots of time spent outside ... no home - cooked meals ... lots of rushing here and there ... not enough rest ... yet still training as per normal ... well you get the idea. Not the ideal situation.

My body was starting to crumble on friday, but it was my birthday too, and I'd a BBQ dinner ... more heaty food and home late again. Sleeping at 12am and waking up at 5am was a really tough task for me, but I had to get up early to train because it was Ji Wen's and Jocelyn's wedding in the late morning!!! Most eggciting!! =D

To cut the long story short, I still had to go to church after the wedding and it lasted all the way till the night before I could go home to get some sleep. By then my body was just destroying itself and true enough when I woke up the next morning, I wasn't fit to get on my bike and had to take the day off.

That was a dumb thing for me to do but oh well.

So here am I, on a monday night ... feeling much much much better than how I was feeling on saturday night, and ready to train even harder the coming week.

I Will Beat My Ass Today To Kick Yours Tomorrow.

I kinda sidetracked ...
