A tiring day for the feet....

15 July 2006 morning

Regent Family Day today.... started with the Sports for Life run. For all my visibility as an "on" (?) runner who pounds the tarmac/track regularly, I have to concede actually I'm not such a good runner as people thought.... because I don't push myself! It's an uphill task to remind myself to tread out of my comfort zone, but then....

Joy's right - a personal trainer like hers does help.... touched her biceps .... wow! It's the type I drool about! Not too bulky like the she-man type.... but sufficiently springy and strong to impress even the men.... haha.... I like.... I want!!! But first, the 10km tomorrow first. Hopefully will get the Polar watch somehow...My lucky streak, please continue! Please let that be my fifth prize this year....

Joy really ran a good race today.... overtaking me at the fourth round, leaving me to bite the dust....but I wasn't exactly slacking....I didn't stop or.... even do what I consider jog. Tried interval running but my best is just not enough. My muscles fatigued easily.... and today it was the arm muscles as well (I need the biceps!) I can't hope to sprint the way Iris does, too! Somehow, landing on (almost!) tiptoe is alien to my feet. Lifting my legs at right angle, too, is as tall a task as going to the moon....Only makes me tire faster and heel bearing the brunt of the impact.

I finished at #265 but I'm much more concerned with the timing. Did I get the 100 bucks? Will only know at the end of the year...

Anyway, the rest of the events were interesting too..... we set a record (certified, ok!) with everyone plastering their hand- and thumb-print on a 21m (?) long banner. Kudos too to the PE department for organising the fun games. We won the first round by a resounding margin but results were void because every team broke the rules. Haha, but winning is not important.
Not my usual thoughts.... but, well, it's family day afterall :)
