After a long absence, I finally hit the gym today. I have been insanely occupied and busy with work since I got back from Perth. I come into work at 7am and leave at 6pm. Every single day. Which means by the I leave school, I'm too darned exhausted to do anything but to just go home and vege in front of the tv and go to sleep. I haven't exercised in 4 weeks!! 4 Bloody weeks! I feel fat. And pudgy. Urgh... It didn't help that I was sick the week before I left for Perth and the week after I came back as well.

So today, I lugged my gym things, and right after school, I made my way down to California Fitness at Somerset. I thought I was going to be a weak ass at the gym cos I figured I haven't exercised like forever, so my body probably can't take too much. But I managed to still do a 6km run, and a 5km bike ride, and then I continued with a yoga class with Dr Ram. Dr Ram saw me and said..'It has been a long time..' LOL! That's how long I haven't gone! 2 hours of exercise. Anyway, my body feels used and abused and battered but I feel so much better. Definitely going to have a sound sleep tonight.

It's Sports Day this Friday. I'm looking forward to that. Been a while since my last Sports Day. Will be great to be with my kids and cheering them on as they run. I'm taking part in the staff relay race but I'm going to suck cos it's a short distance sprint and I'm more of a long distance runner.

Talking about that, I'm going to take part in a 5km run at East Coast beach with my school's track and field team at the end of May. I'm hoping to do a half marathon at the end of the year, so am trying to build up the distance. 5 km first, then maybe the NIKE 10km run later on, and build it up to the 22 km run eventually. We'll see how that works out.
