road relay and thoughts

the inaugural safra road relay was held at safra jurong today. something i tried to train for but somehow dwindled off for some reasons.

i kind of switched my target this morning. from trying to stay on par with a fellow club runner to not coming in last. that fellow runner actually came in way ahead of me, so i was glad i changed my target to avoid much disappointment. i was pretty glad i came in about 7th out of 12-13 woman's open runners and clocked my best 2km timing of 9.09. =)

dearie's team came in first! yipee! dearie was the last runner of his team and i'm sure he made a grand entry back! i didn't get to stay through the entire race as i had to head off to work at 9am.

i commenced work 15mins after interview, yesterday. the work is pretty simple, hours are manageable and the pay is decent. i'm happy to be generating more income with my time. but of course, that will mean i have somewhat lesser time to spare. the plan is to keep up with the part time till my 2 years at my current company is up. when i move job then, i might give up this part time too.

i am still trying to balance off the things i'll like to do..the things i have and must do.

i'm dwelling in the aftermath of a race - feeling i must train more. i should run more. i should bike more. i should do brick once a week.

hope to start next week right. might want to postpone the meet up with ivy so i can get enough rest before the weekend work. put in all the work. part time work. safra runs. biking on sat. clean the house. cook dinners for dearie. play the piano. read.

so much to do. so little time.
