Ever since returning from my KK trip, my gungho-ness to workout seems to have dwindled. I’ve been trying to pinpoint the cause of this and I’ve come to realise that it it’s due to the short hours of sleep and lack of rest throughout the past couple of weeks.

Something was bound to give way and yes, something did give way. I’ve been feeling lethargic (but unable to sleep!!) since last week and my energy level seems to have depleted. These are actually symptoms of overtraining but looking at my recent workouts (which haven’t been very frequent) I’ll just self-diagnose myself as having lack of rest :p

Anyway, I’ve come to a decision whereby I won’t practise Crossfit on an almost daily basis. Instead, I’ve decided to incorporate yoga and running (for real this time…..well, fingers crossed :p) into my fitness regime. Haven’t worked out a schedule so for now, I’ll just go with what my body feels like on the day itself.

Having said that, below’s what I did during the weekend :p

This was not a good day. I tried doing the WOD for 26th, thinking that my shoulder had fully healed. After completing the first round, I could feel the pain on my left shoulder again and was unable to complete the WOD. FML -_____-”

27062009 (Sat): Attended Ninie’s Hatha Vinyasa class at beyoga.my. My hamstrings are soooo f$*#@ tight that it took A LOTTA effort for me to get into some..no make that most, of the poses. Good class tho :D

28062009 (Sun): Slept 4 hours and woke up in the wee hours of the morning to go for the StanChart KL Marathon. I only did 10km and it took me 1:17 *shy* It’s kinda funny how each time I participate in running events I’ll tell myself “Ok, this time you MUST train” and I just end up not training properly. Had reggae music on my playlist which for some is a bad idea since you need uptempo music to run faster, but it was great for me since all I had on my mind while jogging/walking was ‘Dim sum, dim sum, dim sum’. And yes, we went for dim sum after the run was over. wOOt.
