That's my immediate 'feel' right now. 3 days in a row I've been waking up at 0530, and on two of the days I've been on duty due to some poor planning of duties by people who plan duties. ARGH.
Anyway part of the reason also is because after a hard day's work, I've been putting in some hours doing my own night training, belatedly I guess, considering that I've got to clear my 2nd-year IPPT (that's the adult equivalent of NAPFA to you schooling peeps) soon. So I've been doing some work in the gym and doing some strength training.
So after gym yesterday (I was bastard-ized by my gym buddy who failed to turn up -_-'' ) I ran up the stairs to join the boys for some badminton. Ahh there's a game I haven't played since... I don't know, 2 years ago? Anyhoo, I had to get back to badminton sharpness... I felt my touch was sloppy at times... but I still managed to kick Nabil's butt!!! Hahaha. But in fairness, there was loud music blasting and half the time he was dancing around in court, so... kasi muka la eh. Haha.
Despite all this, I've yet to start my running. And to think in about one month's time I'm gonna be taking part in the Army Half-Marathon (AHM) 0_0 !!! A full 21km, I haven't run anything like that before in my life, and one more month to the actual thing and I haven't even clocked up my mileage! GAH.
The last time I ran anything so extreme... and indeed, was the furthest I've ever run... is the 10km needed to attain my Combat Skills Badge last year. The requirement was to run 10km below 60mins, and I managed to clock 48mins, in 7th position (my fav no.!) with time to spare. But then again, that was when I was still a trainee, and in my absolute prime. Hee. Now... da nak ORD all... urm. The less said the better.
My body aches! =(
