it's not too late to run..

We really got no disciiplne.. we really cannot manage our time.. too busy with other matters, that we couldn't even make time to pick up our running shoes to train or a least go for a jog .. to prepare for this Sunday's full marathon.

So, last week.. i decided that we better start seasoning our legs and heart..


About 0630hr, last saturday morning, we ran from home to Orchard. We reached Far East about 9am. Along the way, we stopped to get drinks at a Mobil Station located after Caldecott. I do not want to exert so much, so i ran very slowly and kev followed my pace. Maybe it was because the pace for him was too slow plus we cool down too long at that bus stop to hydrate and eat.. kev suffered painful muscle cramps on his right calf. Luckily i brought the muscle rub and paracetamol.. it really help to ease the pain and we were able to walk to Suntec to collect our Maration race pack.

The race pack collection was no fuss at all. Very organised.

After that, we went to Orchard Cinema- watch Andy Lau movie- Battle of the Wits... i think that's the title.. cannot remember.. i slept at the beginning, too tired.. and the movie .. a lot of talking.. but i managed to catch up from the mid-part of it till the end. Good movie.. i like it.

We reached back home at about 6:30pm that evening.. Wow.. we were out for 12 hrs.

Running

This morning, went to MacRitchie. A lot of pple- MR25 doing their progressive runs and Nike Runaholics.. something like that..

after 6km mark, i started to walk.. and jog .. by then it's 9am. started running at 815am. Wow cialat.. i took so long. Hv not been running ever since the AHM.

Anyway.. whether i exert myself or not, try to do it slowly cos later afternoon i am going to run with kev from marsiling mrt back home.., i am still too slow..
Another part of me was telling me since i didn't bring my inhaler, don't
exert too much , take my time..(bad experience from AHM).
how am i gonna make it for the full marathon in less than 1 mths' time!!!

Next Saturday, will be going to MacRitchie with some school friends. See how it goes.. hopefully i can keep up with them.

Exams over but that's not the end...

Will be at the hospitals till end of this year. 2 weeks attached to Geron ward, then PRCP at surgical ward for 4 to 5 weeks then, finally Emergency the last 1 or 2 weeks. By then, it's the end of the year.

Reflection time. The papers were not too difficult but didn't prepare well for it. Though i am not expecting any B's, just a pass..will be jus good enough. But i realized that i really need to buck up in some areas.. some procedures . Need to read more .. Need to know more things..need to widen my general knowledge.. etc

When in the hospital, got to be confident. and stay confident! Don't be intimidated by pple around me. Sometimes, i can't perform when pple are looking at me when i am doing some procedure. I have to get over this, and get to a stage where i should be able to perrform any task naturally.

Next, i must not panic. Must remember to sound Juliana's alarm " do not panic! do not panic". Take a step back, analyse and do it step by step. Must tell myself to stay calm. When in doubt, ask and learn from it.

Hari Raya Aidilfitri - Day 1

Almost everyone present, including my in-laws, at my mum's on first day of Hari Raya. In this picture, the one the like best was one took with my little nephew Idris resting on mum's bed. He is so adorable when it comes to taking photos. Here are more of his other photo previously taken with my ex-motorola and o2 mini.
