Week 9, Days 6, 7 and Week 10 Day 1

Last week was a write off; only tennis twice (Days 2 and 7) and no running at all.

Week 10!!

Where did it all go? Today, off to a better start. Went to the beach to run. Was swarming with troops marching on the path nearer to the beach and road paving machines closer to the expressway. In the end I ran between both ie. on the cycling path. Was horrible, smelling fumes of tar and asphalt. Kaf kaf... Laying off for one week didn't help either, though I felt leaner without all the constant muscle-building. Thinner calves, woohoo!

Don't foresee doing any other meaningful exercise this week, with a public holiday smack in the middle of it.

NAPFA test

Remember NAPFA? National something Physical Fitness .. assessment... something. Our physical fitness test. I found these figures off some poly website.

Females 20-24 yrs
2.4km
A = <15:01
B = 15:01 - 15:30
C = 15:31 - 16:00
D = 16:01 - 16:30
E = 16:31 - 17:00

i know we're not 20-24 years old, but i'm just saying...

i think i never passed this damn thing ever. Or at least never got above a D for my 2.4

And now i'm even older... and slower.. sob. ha ha

Week 9: Day 6

Worked all day and had no time to run!! Boo. :( I guess there's still time to run tonight, but really... who are we kidding?

Week 9: Day 5

Ran my roughly 2.8k route today. Did a bit better - and I think it was thanks to the much cooler and much more pleasant weather. It makes SUCH a difference! But, still, 2.8... i'm running out of time!! How am i ever going to make it to 5??

Week 9, Days 4-5

Been busy, making a costume for Jared's school celebrations next week. It's a fairy tale themed thingy, so some discussion (he refused to be a pirate or prince, and Darth Vader isn't a real fairy tale character) we settled on Pied Piper of Hamelin. I think the rats sealed the deal. 

Plus, it was pouring this morning. So no tennis.

As such, no exercise to report.

Belgian chocolate ice cream - not seashells!

Week 9, Days 2-3

Day 2

Tennis! In the morning. Was it hot!! Think I am permanently belgian chocolate-coloured :(  :(  :(

Day 3

Rest day, had kueh pie tee. Mmmmm.

Week 9: Day 3

(p.s. this blog is getting really boring. I pity our legions of poor readers.)
