Sorry for the deafening silence, but i haven't had much to blog about lately. Mostly because i have been at home trying to study and am not supposed to have a life. But since i've finished 3 papers now and have got a 2 week breather till my next paper, i can afford to do nonsense things like blog. :)
It's amazing how people settle into routines so easily - i don't know if that's a good or bad thing but time certainly flies much faster once you've got a routine of some sort. So apart from studying, i spend much of my time doing housework, watching Law & Order / Oprah / sitcoms, surfing Facebook (it's great - go get it), cooking, playing with nephews, playing with cats, running random errands..and the days just fly past. I've been back from London for more than 2 months already. So fast.
I've also been trying to get into the habit of RUNNING recently. This is because i am a sucker for punishment and have signed up for the Standard Chartered Marathon at the end of this year. This means if i don't get in shape for it i will have to go home shamefaced in a pickup and have 'did not finish' entered next to my name. I might also end up with serious injuries to my womb (people in the office can go and ask JW about this). But unlike some people who are stamina camels, i have the stamina of a rat. I have no natural stamina at all and i find running EXTREMELY BORING. Plus when i came back from London the humidity was killing me and i lasted barely 10 minutes in my first attempt to go jogging. But anyway i've been forcing myself to run 3 times a week now - 2 short/medium runs during the week, and one long run on the weekend - and it's getting slightly easier. Oh, i also bought new running gear to run in so i can satisfy my bimbotic urges - new shoes, socks, cap, clothes....heehee.
My goal for the marathon is to run as far as i can (at least half, 21km), then walk the rest. I have 6 hours to finish it, and that's all i aim to do - COMPLETE IT. For a stamina rat, i think that's achievement enough. :)
Anybody want to donate money to my cause? Anybody? ....Anyone at all? ....No? .....Really....?
