woke up feeling very cold and tired today. didn't switch on the heater last night coz i'm trying to cut down my electricity bill. haha. had 2 lectures today. Global politics and Intro to social, developmental and clinical psychology 1. Lots of reading to do. I was quite lost during psychology coz i have no idea who Piaget, Skinner, Bandura, etc are! So many theories and models and names to familiarise myself with. for starters, i shall be hardworking and research online later. hahaha.
rushed home to have lunch, my chicken veg rice, which is what i'm having now for dinner actually. i had to postpone Melvin's shopping at Smith St and Ikea and dinner coz i am BROKE!! Spent 200 bucks buying my texts and subject readers. Waiting for dad to transfer some money over. Till then, i shall stick to my denim jacket (no new warm winter jacket) and eat precooked food. haha. Thanks for all the encouragement! Once i attain Iron Chef status, i shall return and cook for you all! hahaha.
Pretty much slept until training.
YES TRAINING. i trained with Tony today, the long dist running coach. They are all so fast! but tony says there are some girls who aren't here today and they are around my standard and slighly faster, so it'll get better. Btw, almost all the ppl in the athletics club are Australians.
Warm up was 3 rounds on the track (heartrate of 180bpm for me) and stretching. I felt more like i was doing pilates. haha the guy who led stretching seemed like some pro stretcher. hahaha.
We ran to Princess Park which is 5-10min jog away. It is basically an oval shaped park, with the running track of about 3plus km on the parameter. Flat gravel surface. we did some strides and drills and time for 3-6 reps of 1.6km. well, yes, you guessed it, i did 3 and was already dying. You don't overheat in the cold which feels good but it's too cold now. My legs felt stiff and my muscles very tight. My hands were frozen and my nose running. Sounds pathetic, not to mention, my WHOLE BODY was aching from yest's sprints. haha.
The people are all friendly and nice. i spoke to Alison, who's a 5th year medicine student and Cam, a science teaching student. The ppl in this group dabble into triathlons too. I dunno why Tony calls it "drifting to the dark side". I see it as "discovering the light" haha. maybe i should brainwash them into migrating to the "dark side".
Oh tmr morn i shall have to drag myself outta bed at 6am to go swim with the swim squad. how exciting, cept it'll be cold. Oh i heard the sat morning rides go at an average of 45kmh! That's just madness. especially when the winds are so strong. I might not survive...haha oh wells. wille says many cyclists cycle along that route so i can always latch onto another pack should i get dropped. comforting. haha.
ok time to bathe, yes Hansel i am gonna bathe. haha but actually i dun stink coz i hardly sweat. i even rewear my running attire many times! hahaha.
