Four down, two to go!

Friday, 12 August 2011 | 11:26 pm

I’m four weeks into the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award challenge and am two weeks away from fulfilling the 6-week requirement. Just look at the pretty yellow stars below… :D

PALA-radragon

Of course, the challenge is 8 weeks long and I plan to complete all eight, but it’s rather nice to know that I’m so close to the milestone! And to think, four weeks ago, I hardly worked out! :) Then again, I have not really been doing well with my run and triathlon training! LOL I’ve mostly been doing some indoor cardio such as P90x and my new favourite, bouldering (rock climbing) at Hangar 18 (got a Groupon a while back for a discounted 1-month membership!)

Tomorroz (or perhaps on Sunday!) I really do plan to run my, er, long run training for Nike Women’s (half) Marathon. Scheduled is about 7 miles (I think!) Then next week, I’m going to start cramming my swim and bike training! LOL

I leave you now with what I had for dessert the other night… Warm Coconut Doughnut from this Asian fusion restaurant called Rock Sugar. It was sooooo good. It even had a passion fruit syrup dip! Mmmm…

Have a wonderful weekend!

Bouldering, & races that are piling up

…but not really! Well, sort of.

I just ran a 5k race last night (yes, my first midweek race; in the evening, even!) and I’m just adding that onto my schedule on my sidebar. Then I have to go to Athlinks and add that race (so it can be included in my Results archive). Which means I have another race report that I need to write! LOL

Don’t get me wrong, I love writing race reports, in fact, I need to write them down for posterity (and mostly for my reference), but now I have to finish writing the Redondo Beach Tri report, and start penning the Seattle 1/2 report before I move on to my 5K report. Did I mention I have a 10k in about a fortnight? If I can get these reports done by then, I’ll be squared away… :D

In other news, PALA week 3 is going well! This week, I did a combination of climbing (indoor bouldering at the Hangar 18 gym in Hawthorne, CA) and running (yesh! Other than my 5k, I did a Tuesday run. :) ). I think I might have overdone it, though because by Wednesday evening (hours after only a 30-minute indoor climbing session) I was so pooped and was sore all over! My body, I think, was letting me know to slow down and take it easy; not that I heeded its call, though (see: 5k race above). Still, I gave myself a much needed Epsom salt soak a few hours before the race and I was somewhat fresh by 6:15PM ready to (not) get a personal best :-P

But on that soreness note, I’m pondering whether I should skip the climbing sesh today and just do something nice and slow, like the P90x Stretching video. Hmmm… *ponder*

Anyway, have a wonderful weekend!
