Ok back to work.
Despite telling myself that I shouldn’t be working out or going for a jog due to the mountain of pictures I have to edit, I went for a jog >.< Well, it WAS after editing a few hundred shots and replying (almost!) all my emails so I consider it as a lil reward for being so productive.
Didn’t head for the hills today, instead went to the TTDI park as it was getting dark by the time I left my place. Did counter clockwise of the upper loop, 2km in 12 minutes (in a bout of kiasu-ism, sprinted the last 200metres :p *pats self on back*) then did counter clockwise of the lower loop, slow and easy (more like slow and lazy) 1km in 8:35. I was actually aching by that lower loop but was thinking to myself “wtf come all the way here and just do 2km? No ‘effin way!”
Funnily enough, I didn’t see any monkeys today. Where dem monkeys?
I think this will be my last jogging session before the adidas King of the Road event in Shah Alam this Sunday. I’m not participating in the half marathon, only the 11km category. Hehe…even then, I’m feeling abit apprehensive. But I hope to achieve my PR. Well, at the rate that I’ve been jogging, anything less than 1hour would be considered PR for me :p FTW!
Shoulders still feeling the DOMS from Tuesday’s workout. Man, JT and Fran really bitchslapped me this round. Shouldn’t have done them both together. Okay that sounded wrong -____-” but fellow Crossfitters would get what I’m saying.
Monkey says: u look 4 us? wat can v do 4 ye? :-)
Woke up with sore shoulders, upper back and triceps thanks to yesterdays combo of JT and Fran workout. Shouldn’t have done Fran after JT since they were both shoulder workouts. Oh well, whats done is done.
Due to the DOMS, decided to take it easy and went running instead (okay, okay more like jogging / brisk walking :p) earlier this evening at TTDI. Headed to the tar road trail otherwise known as “Hills of Death” for its steep seemingly endless hills for the first time ages. Took my sweet time and did approx 5km in 40mins. FML -____-”
Then I headed to the TTDI Park and did approx 2km in 12:35 and once I was done with that, did 3 sets of 10 chin-ups, 10 push ups and 10 squats. Could do straight reps of 10 chin-ups for the first two sets but at the last set, my shoulders were feeling it and I broke it down to 4, 3, 3. Push ups and squats a-ok.
Updated my playlist with new songs from BEP’s The E.N.D and some old tracks from Fatboy Slim, Fischerspooner and Ting-Tings. I think the music motivated me to run more than my usual training of 3km :p Gonna do another run before the adidas King of the Road event this Sunday at Shah Alam. Aiming for a PR this time round!
A concern I have with all this running/jogging is the risk of losing my muscle mass 0_o Gotta look into this and see how I can improve in running AND maintain the muscles. Yes, I want it all :p
Dear Anna, so glad to see that you are into running now! I think you don’t have to worry one bit about losing muscle mass. Running definitely helps with the stamina and your vigorous workouts in the gym help to complement running as well. My gym guys are still as big as ever with the running I make them do.hahah
Are you planning on running longer distances? (10k and above) Other than that you need not worry at all…cheers! Keep up the good work!
@FoxyFitnessChick: Thanks for the tips :D Hope I will stick to running till I improve :p Hehe…
@Mark: Thanks for the support. Oh yaaaa, you still have that bet with your Mum! Gambatehhhh!
So, how was the run??? Did you break the 1 hour mark???
Hi Jacqie, Had a last minute shoot on Sat night which ended late so didn’t manage to go for the run. Still emo-ing about it :( Boo.
Hahaha…well..I guess that is what happens when you’re a photographer and a fitness freak :P Anyway, you’re in KL you have heaps of runs to run…unlike being here in Miri…..;) All the best dear!
Hahaha…I guess that’s what happens when you’re a photographer and a fitness junkie at the same time….:P but you’re in KL and there are lots of runs to run…so no worries :P All the best dear!!!
Opppsss…I thought the first msg didn’t go through…apologies :D
