Abridged Updates!

Thursday, 23 July 2009 | 04:27 pm

Let’s see, since my last post on July 12th, I have:

  • Ran 11 miles (Monday, 13th July)
  • Went to Disneyland for the second time in my lifetime (Wednesday, 15th July – 1pm to 10pm)
  • Met up with Jo and Sheryl to watch the 6th Harry Potter film at Downtown Disney and had waaay too much Cherry Coke to drink (Wednesday, 15th July)
  • Went to this “upscale” burlesque club in Manhattan Beach where my sister, her friends and I were the youngest in the club; plus had one too many cocktails that…
  • I ran hungover the next day (Saturday, 18th July) and was only able to do 6.5 miles out of my scheduled 12-mile run!
  • Played in a soccer tournament for the first time in 85°+ F heat AND was on the winning team (Monday, 20th July AM-afternoon) 
  • Attended my soccer supporters’ group “Legends Night” and met some great former-Chelsea FC players and made new friends (Monday, 20th July – evening)
  • Continued the party by going back to Pasadena for some more Chelsea FC festivities at Lucky Baldwin’s
  • Watched her beloved Blues beat Inter Milan at the Rose Bowl (Monday, 21st July)
  • finally, walked a 2-mile recovery run on Wednesday, 22nd July.

So yeah, in-between all that (but for Monday and Tuesday this week), it was work or volunteer work.

Oh, and am I ready for the San Francisco Half-Marathon this Sunday? NOPE. But I’m going to go easy on the run and just enjoy the scenery. I can always beat my personal best in October or December ;)

Out…of…shape!

Sunday, 12 July 2009 | 12:22 pm

Okie, I had my first football (soccer) training yesterday at the grass fields next to the Rose Bowl… It was a 2-hour basics training with scrimmage in the end and that coupled with Pasadena’s 80+ weather made for a very very challenging mid-morning! It was loads of fun, though and I can’t wait for the actual supporters’ match on the 20th!

When I got home, I thought I’d drop dead but I was pretty much awake the entire afternoon and up until my evening meeting with KORT. I finally realised I was out-of-shape when I could not get out of bed at 6:15AM this morning for my 11-mile run! AHHHH. I’ve decided to do the long run tomorrow instead and using today as a rest/stretch & strength day. ZOMG. I really need to incorporate the cross-training back in my training regimen!
