-6:05 AM
elsia ran today!
WEDNESDAY
we went to turf city!!
it dint rain thankfully
boarded chartered bus at 2.45pm
hm.
i had wonton noodle -white kway teow
for recess
and two water melons before we left
we ran one round of the route as warm up
and another as time trial
timing was 17.18.16mins
pretty number eh
((:
i think im being haunted by the east coast run
when i started i felt like it was a warm up
i didnt feel the need to push as i had before
usually i would be serious serious
focus focus
know what im doing
ytd i was serious but i think i lacked adequate focus
and i think i dint know what i was doing
i know i cant start fast so i started slow but i think too slow
as the run progressed
i kept a steady increase in pace only to find myself charged at by a dumb dumb dog!
it was at the slope up..
i saw theresa running into the grass area and thought she was giddy or smth
but apparently thr were two dogs around
of which the bigger one barked right in my face
i was caught SO unaware as i was gaining focus
i screamed and caught hold of xinying!!
*oh mann im really sorry!
i felt we managed to get back on our focus quite fast
i then proceeded to attempt to catch up with jasmine and theresa
i closed the gap but did not manage to overtake them :/
i wont take the dogs as an excuse but ..
i really need my motivation back
what should i do!
:(
elsia ran today!
im updating after soo long!
hee
its a new beginning
i have deleted the post on the east coast run
its too horrible terrible vegetable!
for training schedules before oac
please refer here
i will start updating on trgs after oac
5th MARCH
MONDAY
it was post oac holiday!
but we had trg in the aft cause the rest of the ppl had sch!
muahahha
we went BISHAN at 2.45pm
i ate very oily fried rice for lunch
i think my grandmother getting old then cannot see properly
or maybe she thought she havent put oil then put twice
x)
we did 5 times of 800m
we started at 200m line though
pace was supposed to be 3:15mins to 3:30mins
100m -24secs [credits to adel :)]
i though the first round was very fast!
too fast.
for me i know i cant start fast if not
ill just drop dead and die as the run progresses
however for the first run i heard mr tay saying
if we carried on this pace we wouldnt clock good timings so i accelerated
and ended up with a 3.02mins -too too fast
i slowed down tremendously for the rest of the runs
lousy start!
i was much too jerky and bouncy and everything other than keeping steady for the runs
maybe it was because of fatique i dint run like water at all
not smooth
my arms crept higher too!
ai yoyo
*rest of timings to be updated
trg ended with a relax run of 15mins
Do not let your mind hold you back.
Give yourself permission to win.
Perform at your best.
elsia ran today!
we were told by adel it would be an exciting training cause there was gonna be.....
time trial!
adel was so funny
although it wasnt much of an excitment for me
i thought it was rather interesting now that its over
before the trial
i knew i wasnt the sprinting kind
i was really really stressed abt giving my best
i was afraid i couldnt sprint
i was afraid of anything everything
when we started, xinying burst out
i knew i couldnt start fast so i conserved but was forced to give a lil more effort to be infront of zahrah as i dint wanna be trying to overtake her at the curve
i followed behind xinying and kept close behind her all the way to the end
i felt "radiation" as i ran
they were like beads falling off me
huixin felt it too!
i also felt i couldnt move at the end
timing was 1.32.30mins
if im selected for SPH relays
will i be too stressed?
i think im going crazy
how!?!
:/
thursday we did the same "garden" route
we were supposed to run with bigger strides and not speed
it was alright
elsia ran today!
monday 29 jan
we had new sec1s today
we did 6 rounds jogging route excluding track
rest time was 1 min jog ard basketball court
run wasnt smooth
wednesday 31 jan
we went east coast park
we went to try out the route
it was a windy day
i managed to keep up with dhar and zahrah to catch up with adel and then jedidah
zahrah hadnt really recovered
take care!
i dont think we were supposed to stop and rest
but i dint hear properly so i stopped
in the end we rested a while before proceeding to run the remaining 1.6km
run was alright
last part zahrah and adel started accelerating but i felt it wasnt time
i think im the kind that cant start too fast
so i took my time and overtook them the last part
run was alright
thurs we had the same "garden" run
mr tay was really fast
i tried to keep up
then he ask me to carry on cause i was too fast
haha actually he was the one too fast for me
saturday 3feb
morning race 8am
it was our first biathlon at ngee ann poly
i was teamed with may na!
was abit presssured cause i knew may swam well
indeed she came up first and i went off first
the whole route i had noone to pace me front or back
i was afraid initially
however things went alright and i think it was a pb for that race
13.37mins if im not wrong
i think for me having nobody there to pace me isnt a problem
because i dont feel how fast im running and might do a better timing
we did a great job may!
we arent swimmers but we still got 4th!
the swimmers timing were good but our runners timing was much better!
its okay we did justice to ourselves!
yay we make a good team(:
monday 5 feb
we did 3k run for my group it was take-it-easy
at first i kinda wondered hard why mr chan always asks us to take it easy but i think i know why.. i think
we also did biometrics
- standing broad jumps 10 x 3
- jump over the benches beside tennis court x 5
- skip one leg zig zag for 20m x 3
our legs ached
elsia ran today!
this is a late update
it was on the 27th of jan
at macritchie
race started ard 3
the route started from lower carpark and ended at lower carpark
i think i ran 18.38mins
i ran the race kinda solely on my mental
as i wore my nike shoe which was heavier and gave me blisters
instead of the aasics one
it was the rainy season and i dint wanna risk getting my pretty aasics shoe dirty
so i wore it and i told myself i'd run training my mental strength that day
it had been awhile since i felt like giving up half way through the race
i felt like stopping at the slope
i always carry on though
i wouldnt ever stop
never!
i felt disappointed though
when i saw that jedidah clinched a better timing
:/ maybe its just diff conditions
our team consisting of adel xinying huixin and me clinched second
and i 8th individual
zahrahs team was super
oh and up the last slope near the end i was running with a medodist girl
she had some ppl to cheer her on
i wanted to prove to them she wldnt triump with just cheers
i pushed but lost her
thanks xinying for cheering although u were also tired
thanks
elsia ran today!
this is going to be my last for today(:
i cant take it!
*my moms nagging
hahah((:
okay so 24th jan
training at macritchie
1500hrs-1700hrs
we had to do 2 times of 3.2k
the one start from zic-zac bridge and end there also
eh i counted only about 5 slopes leh
at most 6 how come adel can count 9?
haha anw mr chan keep telling me noneed always be infront one!
ai ya!
anw haha it was kinda a good thing cause i was concentrating on avoiding the muddy traps!
heehee i managed!
but when we hit the high way i tried to speed up
i ended at the wrong place!
so dumb
i thought we were ending at the lower carpark!
nowonder jedidah and adel started speeding up alr
haha dumb dumb!
in the end some ppl follow me also:/
i shall be more alert!((:
