everytime i eat now i'll think...it's ok..marathon's coming..and the result? extra 2kg. man i'm fat. maybe i can't even move on that day itself. bleah.
so today before training i told myself..'mindy, you had macdonalds breakfast, followed by chicken rice with added ingredients, egg, and liver, and then a generous portion of beef noodles. you better train hard.'
carbo-loading is all excuses..for me at least..it's a chance to makan like maddd...hehe..
i was wondering...if i run more marathons per yr..then i can be carbo-loading the whole yr round.
oh man that's simply heaven.
i so damn envy those to can eat themselves to death yet die skinny.
they suck. boo.

Listened to news. here are some shocking statistics.. 1 in 4 deaths without known cause is a sleep death.which means the person dies in his sleep. apparently a 32 yr old doctor who has a clinic at seng kang died in his sleep, 3 days before his 5th wedding anniversary. sad ya. but look..4 pple died in their sleep in the past month. and i bet many died as myseteriously in the previous months before. how come there was no mention of those deaths? what made a doc's death so special? is his life worth more than the others who died in the same way?
It's not that i don't emphatize with his family. it's really an unfortunate event but from this we can see how society concentrates only on the elite.
this leads me to think what dear always says..what is it at the end of the day? what if one of our loved ones died tomorrow? will we still be proud that we have been busy achieving results instead of spending time with them?
my thinking is this: there must be a limit. it's bad to just slack and enjoy the company of your loved ones. so, the challenge is to accomplish most out of the time you put aside for work. and family, social time cannot be eaten into by work.
easy said. how much is enough? i guess we'll need to go through trial and error. let's try.
i just want to apologise for pushing my darling so hard in the past.
life is fragile.
and pple, watch news. they are gooood for you.

just ran 20km on my treadmil. i think it was shouting 'get off me!!' cuz it was making hell lot of noise with every step i took. i try to think of that as an alignment problem of the treadmil and not a weight problem.
the achievement was there wasn't any abrasion. close to abrasions but none. any runners would like to enlighten this amateur on how to reduce abrasions? post-marathon baths always leave me screaming.
eeeew i feel so ill prepared. joints are not strong enough. thanks to my crash training, about 1+ month before the real race?
was watching 'so you think you can dance' while i was running. (you guys must be wondering how come i can last so long eh) omg the dancers' muscles was...sooo....defined. woohoo. i also want. maybe i should quit running and dance...hehe. nah..karate was enough.
and oh i got down the treadmil to switch to the channel 8 show. lovely couple. career-minded wife and high flying career for the husband as well. he makes it a point to pick her up EVERYDAY after work, and bring her shopping and dinner. i mean that's the kind of guy whom every girl wants i guess. but just as i was having a good impression of him he turned out to be this bastard who gambles and womanizes whenever he is overseas for work. are all guys jerks? someone in JS2228 told me before that when temptations arrive, right in front of that guy's face, no guy can resist it. put a beautiful woman in front of him, tempting him and he goes out of control. is this the true nature?
are guys trustable?
lotsa reflection for a run. this is why i love long dist. it makes you think. it forces you to, cuz you have nothing else better to do.
