Marathon

2 days ago.... I TURNED 26!!! haha just over a quarter of a century old... haha Birthday has become quite scary in fact, as u age, you get highly sensitive to the word "OLD" muahahaha I am kidding... Still sticking to my theory of age being a number... =P

I miss Muay Thai Training... seriously... i miss being fit... everyone else around me seems to be training really hard for this marathon except me... am I getting complacent at the very last min... I wonder... Well, even so there isn't much I can do about it now isn't it... its just a couple of days away...

Spend sometime reflecting on how the year went for me... it has been pretty smooth I must say... thou my schedule depict mainly with sports (my runs, dp races and umpteen training), I still managed to make time for SOME social life. (diving trips etc)

Major achievement for 2010:

1) Completing ALOT of runs... as you can see from the left side of my blog.... guess definitely surpass the 109km that I clock for 2007 (thou this distance is from running event not considering those i did on my own sweet time) and ending with a full marathon once again!

2) Got many personal best in event that I have done it the past. Some as significant as 15 mins off what I did the last time.

3) Got back to Muay thai, had to stop and hopefully get back again, and the dynamics is definitely different as I got to know a hell alot more friends than i did in the past (i guess i was anti social)

4) Got back to Dragonboat, and did pacer (god knows why) for the 2 major race this year... upgrade? not too sure... retirement.... considering...OC....pehaps?

5) Got my Open Water and Advance Diving Licence. AMAZING!!!

6) Got myself a Tri bike; for now her name is 小红... till a better name pops up =p

That pretty much wrap up 2010 more or less....

2011 will be interesting... will likely be hitting back the books! yes yes many must be wondering if i am collecting certs... but NO... I want a career and not a job no more... I don't see a career in doing events, not at the scale that I am doing right now... and yet I am uncertain if I can deal with bigger events. I enjoy organizing stuff, but I don't think I can do it for life, lets just put it that way.... So yeah... everything seems to be on the right track at the moment, just waiting for me to nod my head... and I will have exciting stuff awaiting me in April next year. I guess the anxiety and fear is on par at the moment. Fear of the unknown is human nature I suppose...

Other than that, I guess 2011 will be a year I cut back on my running event... since I have been there and done that, think its time for me to select runs worth doing. Of course, I will not be giving up running entirely, I might look into doing dualthlons, biathlons, triathlon events, but guess as a novice, I will try the shorter distances ones just in order not to kill myself... =)

I would love to go back to Muay Thai, train hard, get my stamina back up, with strength and all. and of course try to get my washboard abs in the process (its always so close then I will give it all back...grrr)

More trips for sure, be it road trips (like hiking and trekking or biking) or dives... all gladly anticipated. One dream will be to do an overseas run. Plan to do one this year, didn't happen... so really hope one can be planned next year. =)

That's the tentative plan for next year. Will probably list the NYR (new year resolutions 2011) nearer to the date itself I suppose... haha seems abit kiasu to be doing it now.

Alright... that's all for this entry, for those running on Sunday. ALL THE BEST AND GO AND ACHIEVE WHATEVER YOU SET YOURSELF UP TO GET.

Cya guys Sunday!!!

Woohoo!~!~!~
