Cross-Training (30 minutes)

Thursday, 16 April 2009 | 10:13 am

I went for another swim last night — this time, only thirty-minutes (or thereabouts). The intensity of the workout was good though as I swam more laps rather than rest in-between every other lap. I kept moving because it was sooooo windy again! Some random lady (actually, she was the Synchronised Swimming team coach) was like, “You girls are crazy” or something to that effect. It was funny cos my sis and I were joining the other crazy people doing laps on one side of the pool.

When I got in and did my laps, each time I was underwater, I could hear the music they played for the synchronised swimming team that was practising! Hahahaha. It was funny/creepy/annoying at the same time; the music was some sort of weird electronica with the iconic Twilight Zone tune here and there. Really odd but it works for their water dance.  Hehehe.

Cross-Training (45 minutes)

Wednesday, 15 April 2009 | 09:41 am

My thighs were still sore as of yesterday so I thought that I’d do a swim rather than the prescribed 4 or 5-mile run. The 45-minute swim last night wasn’t too bad, though I can’t exactly remember the distance I covered (at least 200 metres — for sure lol! I should really make a note of it). It was good that I lasted that long, though, cos it was soooo windy last night that I nearly wanted to give up and get out of the water as soon as I jumped in. As soon as I began moving in the water, I didn’t feel that cold but man… I wish I had one of those Snuggies (or WTF blankies*) as I got out of the water cos it was FAARRRREEEEEZZZZZEEEEENG.

Going out for a swim again tonight and will probably try to go run 5 miles on Thursday as I have a 12-miler due this Saturday and then… Dun dun duuuuuuuun… ze Hard Corps Marathon. >_<

*warning, video NSFW.

Happy Easter!

Sunday, 12 April 2009 | 08:11 pm

Although the Easter season lasts 7 weeks (until Pentecost, anyway), you won’t see any more peeps or Easter-related sweets after today. Speaking of sweets, I haven’t had any of the Easter goodies yet! LOL. I ran my 20-miler this morning and have just been resting all day and watching the NCIS marathon on the USA channel. So basically, I haven’t had a chance to enjoy any bunnies made out of chocolate.. And on the topic of bunnies?! How and who the hech associated Easter and Bunnies?! LOL x2.

Meh. I’ll probably doze off in an hour or two… Have to get to the Post Office early tomorroz morning to mail my taxes AHHHH.
