Got my first 31 today! Slowly but surely, one day it will be 40!
1 more week and CTs would be over. Am thankful that it is only 4 days long and not some draggy thing. Get it over and done with!
Last time I used to wish holidays would never end and school would never come. But as I get older I sometimes hope that school will start sooner cos life just seems weird without school. Maybe it has something to do with me not spending my holiday time productively so I feel it is a waste? Please let tomorrow be a good day or I am quite screwed! Hopefully SUC meeting goes well tomorrow...lots of disappointment there =(
Enjoy what is left of your holidays people!
Oh yes, I never realised I got so many stalkers =D Hi all stalkers!

World Cup Fever
Just saw North Korea get trashed 7-0 by Portugal. Must suck to be the goalkeeper of NK; well Portugal as well, considering he doesn't get to see all the action. Some people on the tagboard of the website (yes I watch it online, yes I didn't pay $70 to watch the soccer action) were saying how they hope the team doesn't get executed when it all ends. Pretty funny, but if it happens won't be that funny anymore.
Quite cool how everything is fixated around the World Cup recently. From soccer field like pizzas to MSN nicknames; you name it you got it. And in 2 months time it will all be forgotten. It's certainly quite unfair that some sports get soooo much more attention than others.
In other news, watching "Run Fat Boy Run" yesterday reminded me of Julie Moss. It's this story about this lady who- well watch it yourself here. If she can do it, any of us can! If Fat Boy can run (limp rather) a marathon in 3 weeks of training, so can we!
And in some other news, I'm getting spammed with emails. About 20 in less than an hour, and still counting. Not that I mind though.
And in the last news, I am currently on Day 8 of no-break training! Hooray!

notorious overtrainers
Read something I connected with
"
“You’re all triathletes,” said the keynote speaker, a famous cycling coach, to a large group of multisport athletes at a conference I was attending. “That means that 90 percent of you are overtrained right now.” Triathletes, historically, are the consummate “if some is good, then an excessive amount is what I’m going to do” group of athletes. Steeped in obsessive lore, the most famous triathlon stories are usually about training instead of racing. And for those in the inner circle, it’s even worse. Once asked by a reporter from a triathlon publication what he did for training, triathlon icon Scott Molina replied, “I’m not going to tell you, because you’ll think I’m an idiot.”
Triathletes: you gotta love ‘em. At least I love ‘em. But then again, I’ve been called stupid/obsessed/crazy (among other things) over my training endeavors for most of my life. And yet it’s triathletes who, more than any other group, try my patience on the message boards. “Why,” they’ll ask, “can’t I train for an Ironman and do P90X doubles in my spare time? All I was going to do was sleep anyway.”
I mean, c’mon, we’re talkin’ about the sporting obsessed. Remember, the first triathlon wasn’t the sprint or even the Olympic version of the race. It started with the Ironman and worked backward to more conventional distances.

How true. BUT, I'm not at this stage. Yet.
