WWWWOOOOOO...!!!!

i just did a 10.5km run. That's a quarter of a marathon.
From Jurong West Park Connector to the traffic junction before Jurong East MRT station along Boon Lay Way.
That's 5.25km according to mapmyrun (hope its roughly accurate).
And another 5.25km back.
So that totals up to 10.5km.

I ran it in 1hour and 15minutes. Slow. Yes I know that.
But i've never run that far before, so this timing would be a rough gauge for myself.
I shall shave off 10minutes (and hopefully more) in the next run.

i didn't feel so shitty and worn out like during the napfa test.
i couldn't imagine it man.. i actually completed it and still had strength in me..
Looks like Jeff Galloway was right. Walk breaks do work. But i did a 1:1 ratio of walk breaks. That's not good. I shall try 2:1 the next time. That'll be next week.
Yeah I can do it. I just did it. I can do it again. Yeah.
The run was fun. I almost got shit-ted on by a flock of pigeons. Hate them.
Lakeside mrt. ooooo. YJC girls. so upped the tempo and ran faster. LOL. dunno why they're there. But girls in uniform and short skirts is more than enough to spur me on faster.
On the way back too. Sporty girls in them FBT shorts.. Oooo.. I like.. I run fast.. LOL

It really really felt so good. i just dunno how to describe it. ahahahah. it really is good.
You people should try it. Run 10.5km. it's fun.
I'll use my blog as a substitue training log.
Record down what i feel and how i did my runs.

On thursday, it shall be tempo runs.

I can do this.

typical sunday morning,

breakfast with my extended family when --

Grandpa: Hafiz lepas ni pergi memanah eh..?
Mum: Ape lagi dier. asyik memanah je..
Grandma: Abeh biler nak dipanah hati..?

how am i suppose to answer that..?

the holidays aren't turning out like what i would expect it to be.

Supposed to find work, but it ain't that easy. Setting aside the recession, it's the holiday period for all the polytechnics and with that a portion of those students which may number to hundreds are also finding part-time jobs. I really need the money. Somehow now that i have studies aside for the next 2 years, i have the urge to splurge (whoo..!! cool..!! rhymes..!! ), yeah just to buy stuff. I need equipment, i want new clothes, i want new shoes, i want new glasses.

Currently, i'm spending my days training 5 days a week shooting, and more shooting. Occasionally going to the gym on monday mornings or days that i choose to take a break from shooting.

I'm a bad boy. Naughty naughty. I haven't been training for sundown marathon yet. And the 12 week marathon program needed to train competitively has been wasted. well. i just realised it's not that bad. i have 11 weeks. i can work something out. hopefully.

No no no no.. that's not the right attitude. I spent the past week with good reading up on how to work my body up for the run. yeah. plus i went gyming a couple of times. yes yes. that's more like it. i didn't spend the past week running, but i spent it conditioning my body. getting my physique up. yes yes. that's more like it. yes. that's good.

I shall start training. Not on the shooting, but more of the running. yesh. i shall start the program. yes i shall.

And so another class outing to sentosa.
Some differences, more people and wet weather.
But the weather did nothing to dampen our spirits.

On the new tram going to siloso beach.



First and foremost as always.. A game of volleyball.
nevertheless fun when we're a bunch of any-all-how, just-get-the-ball-over-the-net-on-the-other-side amateurs.
LOL.

HOT GIRLS..!!
on the court opposite. so my team was directly facing them.
and that proved to be a real test of concentration.
LOL.
but damn..!!
the girls were HOT..!!


After that some took to the waters to cool off. or some others (Like me) stayed ashore to play beach soccer.
Goddamn it was fun..
lol.
the fastest game of soccer i've ever played in my life.
sibeh tired.
with lots of sand rolling and sand thrown into each other's faces.
LOL.
Damn, ricky's one hell of a player. No wonder he's in the school team, he's damn fast.
but lucky he was on my team.. so u can call my team imba.. LOL.


hafiz: Andy help me wash off the sand off my back. Thx




Played a special type of monkey game in the water.
Whoever threw the ball and the ball touched the water before ending up in the person's hand would be the monkey, together with the person the ball was thrown too.
So there were 2 monkeys at any one time.
Damn fun..!!
Extreme Fun..!!

so it came to pass. day turned to evening.
and we all went off.

apparently they like to grab each other.





Dinner at KFC,
the 'tradition' after every class outing.
LOL..!!


Till then.
we'll see each other again in May for the Graduation Ceremony.


and i still love pioneer station.
