Tennis time

:
Federer just won FO'09 and beat Rafa in Madrid Masters finals, straight sets. I'm guilty of having written off Fed. Impressive, not to take anything from Fed's win, but Rafa did just come off a (greatest best-of-3 clay) 4hr match the day before. Also, Rafa's most vulnerable in best of 3 matches, he's said so himself...then again, for Fed to win on clay in Rafa's home/dominant tournaments, is pretty big.

⇒ upset

my tummy's all bloated and rumbly...can't stop tootin' and eatin' (not at the same time!) and i'm really really really uncomfortable!

I'm like a balloon overfilled right now! That's it, time to cut down on food intake--not only is the bloaty-ness driving me nuts, but the excess back fat is hurting me spinally.

urgh...just had another internal bowl movement...scared to cut one loose...might end up sharting at work!

⇒ i am slow

yesterday i set a new record(?)...for the slowest run of the year!
unbelievable! no stamina, so much pain below both knees! Slightly uncomfortable in new shoes (the 'firmness' is taking some getting used to).

anyhoo, still notched up 2.7km in 20' and 201 KCALS.

I cut the gym time short because other ppl were relying on me for dinner (i'm the driver, see). Gym girl is so hot that she makes me all stupid and nervous around her.

still not full health yet, but getting there.

⇒ half-good

finally recovering from illness! BUT!
Health still not 100%, so running wasn't great...I haven't run in 8 days! I think my 'fitness' starts to decline after having not run/exercised for 2 or 3 days!

Thanks to a pep talk from my friend, I decided 'hardcore' wasn't good enough and need to start pushing my limits, especially since I've now missed 3 weeks (in total) of my gym membership due to illness (damn you, Sydney weather!)

Planned to try for a sub-35' 5km...run not quite as planned. My sinuses still clogged and choked up wit phlegm...so my breathing was all problematic. Add to that, big lunch so I was all bloated and crampy. Add to that, I felt dehydrated in spite of having had about 2.5L of water during the day. Still, going by old standards, did ok...
2.8KM in 20', 210 KCALs
bench: 9x60, 4x60, 8x60, 12x40.

Will try again today. Still partially ill, but I'll push my limits. I mean really push them, not cheat myself! Might breakout my new runners too, the old ones are getting torn up, plus the motivation of running in new sneaks might help!

Dilbert web-comic? Anyone?

⇒ a thought

"If they tell you a guy works hard, he can't play a lick"...i was just thinking...i don't want to be the hard-working-stay-overtime-a$$hole...I wanna be the brilliant if aloof, unusual, rare mind who slacks off occasionally and leaves when the times' up.

btw, still sick...f#ck! all this dry coughing and mucus is pissin' me off!

♥♣♦♠

⇒ still sick!

GDDMMT! This is a waste of my time and money! I'm betting it's because I take public transport...catching disease and sh!t from the rest of the zombie cattle!

⇒ sick again!

rough day yesterday (almost wore out my nostrils from unstoppable sneezing!), dehydrated, split lip, really sh!tty weather, stupid-a$$ ticktek shenanigans, a$$holes on the train, uncomfortable aircon settings at work, attitude from my pops.

this morning: late for work, all choked up with phlegm...

this week keeps getting better and better (not!)

♥♣♦♠

⇒ coldest day in 45 years

the title pretty much sums up this wedsnesday in october, 2008. Keep in mind that just last week I was taking train rides while dripping sweat from the heat.

Health has improved! I'm nearly fully recovered! Got most of the phlegm out of my system and feel great! Had a decent day at work too!

♥♣♦♠

⇒ what have i been upto?

mon: getting sick
tues: sick
weds: really sick
thurs: on deathbed
fri: recovering
sat: relapse into really sick
sun: recovering

that sucks, huh?

♥♣♦♠

⇒ still sick

wtf?!?!? how did i get so sick?!?!? Severe fever(?) on monday, tues, weds and probably tomorwow...gddmnnit, and i still went to work! And damn it all to hell, incompetent 'co-workers'! I know what you're trying to do...it's not your role, and I appreciate the 'help' BUT if you're going to shoulder the task, then follow through with it to the end! Don't pass it off to me at 4pm when I can barely contain my shakes! Work is so bullshit, I've been coming in on my sick days to get the project out and how much appreciation do I get? None...get the f#ck outta here! Time for a lightning resignation!

♥♣♦♠

⇒ sickie

I'm sick again--pretty bad fever. DAMMIT!

⇒ change is in the air

recently there was a flash flood in QLD: about a year's worth of rain fell in a 24hr period. Crazy, huh? Anyhoo, today, the weather was nice and toasty--almost good enough to leave the jacket at home.

These days I'm down to just 4 layers. This is the final week of winter, there's a full eclipse tomorrow night, and I can sense a change in the air...

Will this signal my return to glory?
