Blurry Week ....

This week just passed me by ... in a blur .... not sure why, but been feeling very low (no, not PMS :P). No energy to do anything, didn't even exercise (except for the CBD run) and didn't even have the energy to update my blog ... and basically nothing much to update hahaha :P
Anyway, decided to have a single post to record what I've been up to lately .... just hope this general sense of down-ness and sian-ness will pass me by asap .... and now tat 3/4 of my family is ill, I now have to worry about falling sick .... got to up my vitamins intake (actually "up" isn't the rite term considering I don't take vitamins at all haha) to counter all the germs circulating at home ...

CBD Run - 25 Jul 2006
Quite a non-event. About 30 odd runners turned up. We even have DO and DR "gracing" the event (as they need a recovery run after a hard workout at the Mt Kinabalu recce). Met some people for the first time (gems & eunice).

I'm happy to announce that I got my new shoes (Asics Cumulus 8) that night!!!! All thanks to the two wonderful hunks cfred & teelee!!!! Cfred helped me to get the shoes from RL (as he has 30% off for being a safra running club member). Though he wasn't going for the CBD run, he was very kind enough to go get the shoes for me. I didn't want to trouble him to specifically make a trip down to RL to get me the shoes, since it wasn't along the way for him, but he was really an angel and insisted that it was alright!! I kept asking how to collect the shoes from him but he was really confident that it would reach me by the evening ... hmmmm
Sms-ed him at 630pm about my shoes and no replies ... then to my biggest surprise, teelee came to the rescue and passed me my new shoes!!! So elated!!!! This cool dude refused to divulge how/when they arranged to meet up -__-". In any case, auntie here is very very very happy and feel very very blessed to have cute cool hunks to help me get my shoes!!! Thanks again guys!!!! Milo Dino for cfred and Teh Peng for teelee!!! *broad broad smile*
Will post up pics of my shwee shoes later this week when I'm free....

The CBD runners are now getting faster and better! Now many of them don't even stopped at the Jetty, preferring to continue on with their run. Some of them even went for an additional loop leaving poor mortals like me behind. Was running with Charlotte for the first half of the run (yes, Charlotte!!! This is the first time I am able to run with her considering she is soooo fast and always at the front of the pack! But she wasn't feeling well that night and so I was very lucky to have the chance to run with her). She didn't stop at the Jetty U-turn point, while I stopped for a toilet break. I then carried on with my run with Roentgen and tintin (geez, memory is failing, I can't recall who else I was running with!!!). We caught up with bee and Ronnie (yes, Ronnie! another big surprise that night!!! A speedster who accompanied bee for a run *wink wink* how lucky! How come he never volunteer to run with me leh ??? -__-" JealousJazzy haha)

Bee & Ronnie decided to do another loop while the rest of us continued on. Met Shut along the way, and sxuanjing (who has already did one round with her colleagues!) and we started heading back and up-ping our pace gradually. We passed Angel & Gems running together (aiyo, got to nag at these gals to NOT run alone at night! so dangerous!!! *shake head* - 2 young shwee mei meis running alone is really a big no no!!)

No cakes nor drinks that night. Got to remember to get some 100+ next time. We then proceeded to maxwell for our dinner and I even tried Shut's famous concoction of Banana Shake. Tks shut for the drink! Its very refreshing!! *thumbs up*

Ran with my new shoes. Feels quite alright, comfy but i think slightly heavier than my mizuno WR9. I encountered shin pain (now on my right leg!!!) towards the end of the run. Yah, Taz, I know, u r gonna tell me its the WAY i run, not the shoes :P ok ok, maybe i was pounding the roads tooo hard ... i will remind myself to run softly... must learn qing1 gong1 already.

And this DO & DR ... suppose to be recovery run ... but they still run soooo fast (at least by my standards!!!). They are really amazing and really sifus leh!!! *hail* .... how can I ever be half as good as them ? I'm really impressed but wow, how to push myself to be half a DO or DR ??
Anyone willing to train a stupid, slow disciple like me ? :P
