Monday Blues

Today is Monday and I had a lame half-hearted slog in the morning and I don't know whether I should even consider including it in my counter. But perhaps I shouldn't be hitting 80 anymore considering my 30km is in 2 weeks.. 2 freaking weeks and despite all those promises made to run a 30km route at least once the most I've hit was 26 and that was like, last year or something. Lame. But I love Mr. Polar even though my lovely 22ks yesterday was "wasted" because I didn't set the heart rate thing properly (I don't know what my max heart rate is) so it kept beeping when I reached 173 bpm and I was like SHUT UP but it wouldn't shut up, so I pressed stop and then the damn distance got stuck at the 9km mark. Great. But anyway it was a really good last Sunday run spent in good company, challenging but as usual I always win the challenge. Cos I am Sarah the Ah Poh who Ciaks Kau Sai. Yeh bebeh. I can't believe they made a nursery rhyme with such profanity in it.

Anyway Mondays always suck by virtue of them being Mondays. I have 4 days left here on this hot, humid little island and I am not sure what I feel. A bit sad but I honestly think I really need to go back to Melbourne and start getting my life back on track.. Not just workout and eat and workout and eat. Life is more than that, at any rate. My brain is melting into a mass of unidentifiable gooey stuff and the time has come to remould it. I've practiced a bit of Calculus and read the first few chapters about speciation and phylogenetics but it's nothing I didn't know already. I feel like banging my head against a wall to wake me up. Penang just makes you slow and lazy.....

4 more days and the blog shuts down again for the next 16 weeks.. : )

Pace wasn't so blistering today. I think last week was just a test drive. Kept with him for the first 18km then I sped it up during the last hill. Bye bye!

Oh, and I have a new lover.

His name's Polar RS800CX.

And he's all mine.

I can't even walk properly

See lah this is what you get when you try to run at an insane pace for 20+ km with a man who runs like a greyhound + antelope combined

I am feeling the terrible aftermath of my competitive streak

But I live by the principle of survival of the fittest

And I must either be really crazy, or just plain fucking stupid

Cos' I went for a 14 k (albeit slowly) this morning,

and I almost stepped in dog shit because I couldn't react fast enough to avoid it.

The pain is unbearable when I walk,

but it becomes numb when I run.

Therefore, running is ok.

(yes Sarah keep repeating that to yourself until you really injure something)

Stupid girl

Wired

Instead of lamenting about the considerable amount of my lack of work I should just STFU and actually do some. Less QQ, more pew pew indeed.

pew pew

1. Sound made by lasers, usually related to Star Wars

2. Owning a person, usually related to World of Warcraft

"wow those lasers sounded like pew pew on the surround sound"

"dude you just pew pew his ass down!"

For want of a better thing to do I was putting cream on my hand because I wanted something better to do. So I was reading the back of the tube:

"Pudy's comfort cream is specially formulated to soothe tender skin. It also forms a moisture barrier to help protect a child's delicate skin from irritation."

Directions: Apply as needed to help prevent nappy (diaper) rash.

WHAT. THE. ?

And you know what? I have nothing else to say. This lack of eventful occurences in my life is severely depressing. I can't even last more than a couple of lines speaking about how mundane my sorry existence is right now.

Niresh, you'd better be right about me getting used to it the next time round.

Goals

Since I have nothing else to do to occupy brain space here's a list of things I want to achieve by the end of this year:

• Complete my first marathon
• Do it in less than four hours
• Pierce my eyebrow and/or lip
• Explore Melbourne PROPERLY
• Get 100 for Calculus
• Hopefully get something close to 100 for all my other subjects as well (which is technically what I did this sem but THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT)
• Publish my book! I've been saying this for so long now but I just really never got round to doing it. Everything is ready, I just need to contact the publishers.
• Do something outrageous with my hair
• Do another running photo shoot in Princes Park (I need Saw Kylie for this)
• Take up photography, or at least learn how to take good pictures
• Visit India
• Volunteer at an orphanage or some such place!
• Get some work experience - earn my own money for once!
• Buy something really really nice with that said earned money (i.e. another pair of Frees?)
• Learn how to just say NO when I want to say no!

Ok there's like lots more but my parents are bugging me to go out with them; shall add more later

Freudian Slips

It's like when you say one thing, but mean your mother
