The weekend was fruitful because i managed to accomplish quite a few things I had set out to do.1. made good progress on my assignment. I’m almost half way through it. I’m only left with the forecasting bit which is more challenging but I’ll work out the figures soon to plug into my spreadsheet. Shouldn’t be too tough I hope.
2. spent time with dearie. we spent sat together at home doing work and resting. I like being at home..because I don’t get to do it much since I started school. I had lots of time to work on my assignment and rest when I wanted to.
3. spent time shopping with mummy. Dearie took us to tampines 1 and I bought some new clothes and bag for mummy. Seeing the sparkle in her eyes just made me feel happy. I bought new shirts for dearie too!
4. did some good quality training. Friday we were at ecp doing beach training. it was tiring but good, because everyone was left sore the next day. we rested on Saturday. Sunday a group of us did mr25’s progressive run. It’s the best 20km I’ve done so far at macrit. The timing may not be fantastic but i just felt great during and after the run. During my 2nd loop, I consciously practiced the 2 in 2 out breathing method dearie taught me and it worked. My pace was in sync with the breathing and I wasn’t out of breath even as I trotted uphill. The last 2 long upslopes took much out of me but I had enough strength to sprint the last 100m to the end. What is most heartening was hearing the mr25 timekeeper uncle said this to me.
Uncle: “ young lady, you’ve improved.”
Me: “waa. You remember me?”
Uncle: “of course, you did the ultra marathon last year.”
He saw improvement in me and it affirmed my hard work. I am tempted to try for the time trial..but I know I’m not a sprint person….yet I yearn to be part of the mr25 fleet for some reason or another..because I love mr..and mr25 is a distinguished group.
Can’t wait for the next weekend to come as we’ll be traveling back to Segamat. Got to continue to stay on running form in the midst of all the feasting! =D
