Test run (Literally)

My last run was a charity marathon for an event that I forgot in JB.

This was about 5 years ago. It was a 7 KM run and at that time, I was actually kind of forced to go because the company I worked for sponsored some of the prizes. It also served as a division activity that our Boss enrolled us for.

I didn't care if I get there first or last. I was huffing and puffing, and cursing! All the way! All that mattered to me was to get to the finishing line so I can just STOP running.

Of course back then, fitness was the last thing on my mind. I was preoccupied with a sucky boyfriend and relationship. I was the last thing in my mind, which is kind of pathetic, come to think of it.

So because I am now a brand new person with new priorities which has nothing to do with men, relationships, sex or whatever crap that I was so stupidly obsessed with, I decided to join this :

This means that I have to prep for the run. I have to up my workout and get ready in 2 months. I have to improve on my cardio and strength training. I want to take it seriously this time, and as much as I think it would be fun having a running mate, I would like to try to at least be less playful.

And no cussing while running! I figure if I can make a 1.5 KM in 10 minutes on the treadmill, it wouldn't be a problem for me to finish a 5 KM run.

Plus... I know it will be a whole load of fun. I asked around in my FB if there's anyone interested to join.

This would also mean I would have to go to Jalan Hang Jebat tomorrow to register. And no... I don't know where that is.

I don't know how many people read this blog... this is the info on the run :

Or go to www.shape.com.my for more details.

Oh by the way, there are RM 300 worth of stuff in the goodie bag that you stand to get when you sign up. :)... I am sure any woman wouldn't say no to heaps of free stuff!!!! Take it as a motivation to join. Hahahahaha!

Yes, I am going!

Yes! I am going to the gym today.


It looks like my buddy Sarcy is like a speedy bullet train when it comes to gymming! And I am like a choo-choo. Hinsh! And being married has nothing to do with it. Just because work takes me far away from the gym vicinity.


So, since I am in the office today, I cannot let the chance pass me by. I am committed for an hour of cardio and weigh training.


I did not call Mr. Trainer this morning to arrange for a session. Because I am almost sure he will not be available. It seems like he's not excited to train me anymore. Everytime I call for a session, he has his hours booked. Hmm... Time to change Mr. Trainer? I think he's just given up hope on me. And I still have about 20 sessions with him!


So, see your sweats later!


p/s: I own a new pair of sports shoes; lighter and more comfortable

:P

I think... and I think....

I kind of overdid the weights yesterday.

My biceps are sore and I am currently wearing the medicinal muscle plaster.

That's why I decided to take a day off  today. I think there is a possibility I might just lose my footing on the treadmill during my usual 2 minutes sprint.

Sprint... heh... that's a joke. Hopefully by this time next year, I will be able to join a marathon challenge of more than 5 kilos.

Hey... I am working towards that goal kan.

Fitness plan

I have always hated how I would feel so tired by the end of my day (My day is everyone else's night) that I wouldn't have the strength and energy to work out.

With a reason too. I love working out. I hate missing one day of gym. (The other thing would be because I don't believe in paying for something without using it).

So I planned to buy some food stuff to put in the office.

Things like bread, cheese, cold cuts, oatmeal, cereal low fat milk, soy. Energy boosters I can prepare before I leave the office and head on to the gym.

I don't want to take breakfast outside because breakfast outside always got me more tired and lazy.

Yesterday I worked with only a can of Iced lemon tea as sustenance. I didn't even realize it until the end of the day.

Not good. I need to eat to workout. Rule of thumb numero uno.

On the road to a bikini ready bod... ;)

My 


Bum 


Hurts... 

Ugh!

I hate it when my monthly 'flag' comes.

I feel slobbish, I feel heavy, I feel tired and I feel bitchy! I had to drag myself to go and do my stuff and I can't exercise...

That's the worst thing. I thought exercise is supposed to make me feel better.

*Crying.. sob sob...*

Ugh!

Hmm

I hate cardio.

I am not much of a runner... so huffing and puffing at speed level 7 for a 2 KM run on the treadmill is torture enough for me.

My short term goal? To finally be able to run at speed level 7 for 6-7 km is good enough...

But I still would not stop hating cardio. :(
