SUNDAY LONG RUN

It was a tough week. Training has been mentally and physically tiring as i start to pay attention to my pacing. 4:15/k pace over 42km is really not easy feat. I am not sure if i am ready to nail it this DEC. 6weeks to go. Ideally, i am only left of 4 weeks of quality training before i taper for the last 2weeks. I need to set my priority to session that is marathon specific.

Today's long run has been a pain in the ass. Not sure if it is due to the crab feast that i had yesterday night. I only ate 1 pincer and 1 leg and 2 mantou. I eat quite litte actually. but the smokers from other table are blowing like free.. They freakking 1 stick after the other, i really feel like stuffing 20 sticks into their mouth and light them up. Damn inconsiderate.

I am very sensitive to cigarette and i feel very heavy at my heart/lungs area. I think somehow affected my long run this morning. Part of the run was at marathon pace and i feel so tough. The sun was so hot and my heart and lung is burning. The final segment of the run was at fast pace over 7km which is the toughest. I struggle to complete.

I need to keep myself healthy and fresh so i can nail those quality session.. that boils down to nutrients , proper rest, and of cause time management. Most importantly stay injury free. Got to step back a few days to get my body right.

I am so tired now, and i decided to pang seh the team at coach place. Really feel drained...

GOOD NIGINT! in the monring .. going to snooze for a while before i head for lunch zzz

YES 933

19 OCT 2010, a very special day. Cause its' my birthday! hahaha celebrated with my parents last sunday at Thai Express, the avacado milk shake is really good, rich, yet smooth and so fragrant..

Oh so wats so special on 19 OCT? FIrstly, i am flooded with love from my friends on FB, poly's frens, UNi frens, Let'sTalk 2 Classmate, RUN LONG RUN STRONG runners, and many more. Then, i was selected to going on air on YES 933 to talk about the day's topic on bully. Everything was so coincident. Lucky i nvr review to DJ, KUN HUA that its my birthday.. else i will be very paiseh if they sing me a birthday song.. hahahha..

Since i am going down to cadecott, i decide to do a workout at CCAB. Initial plan was to do with Jason but was cancelled due to rain and also Sia got caught up in office with work, so i jus do a simple 30min farkletk to get in the leg speed that i lack due to marathon trainigng.. rewarded myself with 1x teh tarik and 1x teh halia.

Then head down to YESS933 with anticipation. hahhaa first time on air and its on my birthday day.. cool... Here's a pic of us :

SO FUN! Next time when people say i no life, everyday only study and run, i can tell them

" at least i got on TV and radio station before "

and if i manage to go under 3 hours this dec

" have u ever run a marathon in 3hours? i tink u only shake shake on the dance floor for 3hours and get drunk "

Everyone has their own intepretation of ' get a life ' , to some people, study is their life, for others maybe clubbing and drinking is their life and because of this, we have different kind of people int he society which is essential to make up the community.

Imagine if every one club and drink to get a life, wil there be professor? is education possible, if nobody make running their life, will PASSION RUN stil be possible, Stand chartered Marathon still be possible? We need different kind of people, so we need to appreciate them. (:

CHEERS!

2 MONTHS TO SINGAPORE MARATHON

2 months left to Singapore Marathon. Training has been good. Clocked a few solid long run and some speed work to get in the leg turn over. Motivation and anticipation level is high.

I remembered my very first marathon was in year 2007 when i only clocked a maximum of 10k during training. I was very daring to challenge the distance with such low milege under my belt. I crossed the line with a time of 4hour 25min.

Now with proper training and conditioning, i hope to do a good time. I feel that running is more exciting than studies. In school, result is expected. For example, circuit follows ohms law, voltage equals current * resistance. BUt in running, there is no formula to result. You have to trial and error with different training methods to find the suitable one.

Few more long runs before D-day. Hope everyone is doing well in training. Most importantly is to stay injury free and be healthy! Fitness come naturally with health. Remember when you train hard, your body needs to recover well. Get in proper nutrition and adequate amount of sleep. Be stress free and you never have to worry about performance. GOOD LUCK!

Tuition Teacher

Nowaday , it is not easy to be a tuition teacher. Not only u need to be be creative and fun in your lesson, u also need to discipline your students.

Since parents paid for their kids to receive extra help , they should make sure that their kids are obedient so that more time can be spent on teaching rather than disciplining.

Recently a student feedback that the teacher(me ) cant discipline the class and wants to stop the class.

Really retribution lar, i remember last time i was noisy in class and always give trouble to teacher. Now i got 5 students who are creating lots of disturbance, so much that 1 student wants to leave.

I really dont feel like scolding them but i feel so helpless when they jus keep talking when i ask them to do their work ):

Pity their parents. All the money spend had gone down the drain.

I have no problem with my private 1 to 1 tuition and i really enjoyed teaching them more as i can give them more attention

Hopefully things will turn better this weeek... or maybe i will get fired ! hahha.... also not bad lar... i can get back my freedom on friday night .. (:

Smoking

I find it very irritated when i see parents smoking in front of their kids in parks and some play ground. I am so full of opinion with regards to this sight. Kids' mind are like a sponge and they learn by mimicking what they observe from the environment.

When these kids grow up, they pick up smoking just like their parents and these parents get so worked up that they start reprimanding their kids. They are the one who show them "hey smoking is okay, no big deal " when they are yooung.

So, dont blame your kids when they smoke cause they are just doing what u taught them.
THE END GOOD NIGHT

Imaginations

" imagination is more than knowledge"

For knowledge is limited to all we now know an understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand..

without imaginations, there will be no airplane, u tink holiday trip is still possible?
without imaginations, there will be no iphone, u tink whatsapp is still possible?
without imaginations, there will be no facebook, u tink poking people is still possible?
Without imaginations, there will be no MacDonald, u tink student meal is still possible?
And without 'dirty' imaginations, there will be no affection, u tink making babies is still possible?

And imagination begins with day dreaming

So, next time when your teachers or your frens tell u not to day dream please enlighten them ..

Tell them you wan to " make babies"
