week of Jan 21-27

weekly total:

all in all, hoping to run 11k in one go this week. (~7 miles)

Ottawa weekend early registration due Feb 15?...

happening May 25-27 weekend.

proud times

as loser-ish as I am right now....

I felt proud and disappointed but here's the rundown.

AM work, followed by a quick trip to my most loved brary
ROBARTS, then to class super early.

12:17-1:10 a nice run.
for the first 3k, I was running about 1min/200m or 5min/km......... or 8min mile.
then at lap 18, (3.6k) I started to crap up in my left calf.... and my shins were def. bad news.
walked lap 18, and then proceeeded to start my run again.
I ended at lap 47 (approx. 9.2k) and walked about 3 laps for a total of 10k.

that's right 10k . Feeling not too tired, cuase I slowed down my pace during the second half of the run.

overall, good run.
after work at 3:07pm went for a 1.6k swim before my clients arrived.

all in all impressed that I stuck to the routine. Disappointed in my stop-age but if I didn't stop I would have anywayz becuase I def. was going to be stopped by my cramped up left calf.

[at the end.......... I ate crackers again.........freck...........]
also my ride home on the 501 was the longest e vah!

Winter?! really?!

I'd just like to say that is was -12 when we were DT today.

Had my long day at school 9-9.
GOOD times had by all.
french roast (extra bold... totally my stylz) so good, and didn't fall asleep in plant phys.l
lab was excellent finished at around 3:40pm....

went DT to pay ROGERS bill and go pseudo-shoe shopping with GURLfriend.... aka vashattack.

ended up doing PERSIAN food.... ooo how I heart food, but good food makes me more happy.

below you will find photos to document the adventure.





then walked in the blistering COLD to HH.... for a 2hr+ lecture/presentation of several HHUC trip to North Sulawesi.... soooo cool.. gotta get on an underwater casing for my camera...



NOTICE the rozy (rosie) cheeks...

point of the blog: just hate like 5000 crackers, even though I wasn't hungry... and didn't go swimming.

[disappointed in myself... but it was REALLY REALLY freezing.... but had a great time with vashattack today.... not that we don't but it was good... seeing as he called me during lecture (of >24 ppl) and the phone wasn't on silent... ekk]

why I love the AC

it was not only my long day at work, but also a good one I think.
sum it up 5am-8pm.... (4 hour break in b/w and was able to put in a good 45-50min run.)

RUN: 8:46-9:35am
did about 35 laps +1 lap (I lost track so I erred on the low side of the count)
listened to my much loved mp3, which has been in the arms of my bro for the longest time.
got my 2nd wind at about lap 20 (also the fact that the PHE were doing sprints also help to motivate me.
5laps/k, therefore did a good 7k run, followed by a 1k walk
TOTAL = 8k (w00t w00t), first time since a long time, not even during my summer runs would I do 8k... (ok maybe we did , but I was the route planner, it was all KATE. and trail running)


ditched DJ session, and SEan was a no go. Walked from Spadina ---> John and waited an extra 10min, probably could have made it to BAy, but I was wearing my box-toed black shoes, and it was snowing.

Chatted w/ nikki for like 1hr 19min (accomplished texting to apologize for not attending TOI.... oh wells, next time right?!)

HOME, and hoping that my training schedule will be good.
totally going for a swim tmr PM after HHUC video slide show... (going to try and do 2.5k+)

no music

Monday - went for a swim, did 2.6k. (no real push... should try and think of something more structured then my 1k WU, 5x200m (IM), then 3x150m (PSK), cool down.
(mood: felt good, want faster times though, concentrated more on the pull then kick)

copped out of the run in the PM... too tired, but went grocery shopping instead.....
(facebook took my entire PM..... damn you!)

Today: decided not to swim in the AM.... too tired.. instead attempted to "read".

went to MEC when it opened at 10am, and got nalgene for Andy and gloves for DK.
(did some much needed work.... and cooked lunch.. (instant noodles, which will now be X out of my diet, cuase it makes you soo flippin' thirsty afterwards....)
phone the rents in HK... doing great.
(then opened comp, fell asleep for 40 min.... woke up, hung the laundry..... then splet again, only to be awoken by my cell phone.)

I thought it was the morning and I was late for WORK... but instead it was vash to the rescue.... ( I was actually very dazed... I don't even remember the conversion that we had....)
attempted more school.
then went the GYM.

RUN: 4.5 miles ~ 7k, 496 calories burned, 45 min. Ran at 6.5 speed... and walked for the last 7min as my cooldown at abour 4.0-3.5 speed.
had a good stretch and did some abs.
(mood: pissed cuase at 17 min of my 35min run, my earphones died. sooo pissed, so I watched CNN in silenece... sadness all around. at 25min, didn't know if I could push through the last 10 min/ my quads were staring me down with their lactic acid build-up.
OVERALL: EXCELLENT RUN, I pushed the 4 mile barrier... w00t. hopefully I will mimic this tmr AM)

pushing through it all

t. I saw the TPC apr4...
BUT what I'm stoked about is SHOUT OUT OUT OUT OUT MAR2 at LEes' more dets. soon

my new dedication

did I even spell that right?!


ok, it's my new plan to get back into decent physcial shape... yeah yeah yeah, I know I'm pretty fit, but I've been fitter when I was 20lbs. lighter. So it's not my goal to lose 20lbs. it's to actually drop time on my sprints.........


my goals are as follows:
-be healthy by eating more vegetables
-cut soda out of my diet (this one is going to be the hardest)
-minimize sugar and sugary stuff..... but splenda is ok!
-RUN a half marathon by JUNE
-RUN a marathon by 2008.
-Graduate this stupid school, and go into more school
-to find out what I really wanna do.

ok, so this blog is going to turn into my training blog, with tid-bits of awesome outings and concert going stuff....
here goes me new challenge...
LET I remind you that this is not a NY resolution.
