Another good day

Ha.. Just ended another day where i managed to fit in two sessions. Swam in the morning and ran in the evening. Although overall, i think i did less then i did yesterday. Woke up late this morning. Dad came into my room to ask if i still wanted to swim. And i woke up in a start. Didn't hear the alarm clock, bio clock didn't work either. And when i moved my arms, OUCH. I was really aching. So decided to do a easy swim.
Swim:
300 warm up
5*100 pull buoy
1.3k easy swim (36 min)
200 cool down.
Then i wanted to rush out to go to office after that. But tot i had time to sneak in some food first. Big mistake. It started to pour straight after that. So, did as much work as i could at home in front of the computer. And cleared the files that i brought home from work. Reminded clients of some outstanding stuff. And soon it was like 4pm. And i realised just how hungry i was. And i remembered, i didn't eat LUNCH. It was cool that dad was on the way home, and he called. So he packed me noodles. Yum yum. And the yong tau fu that i like from chinatown. However, when he got back, it was late. Like 5.15pm. And i had to run by 7pm. I knew i shouldn't have eaten, but i just can't resist good food. So i finished the noodles, and i knew i was in trouble. I was super duper full. Anyway, turned up late for running and everyone else had left for the run. So went to the track to look for any familiar faces around. And the group wasn't there as well. But bumped into this new girl. So went for a run with her. Did a slow run coz she said she it was only her second run. Was hoping to do track work today. But i guess i could save my strength and do a long run tomorrow. So, went for a 5.5km run with her. Took 38min. And just as we headed back to TP, the guys had finished their runs already. So, showered and went for dinner with them.
I've been thinking abit about whether it is feasible for me to do my Ironman this year. Or should i wait to do it next year. Couple of pros and cons. And the smart thing would be to focus more on my runs this year, clock more mileage, do easy races this year as a guage, and then go for timings next year. Sounds like a more ideal plan. But truth is, its really tempting to sign up for the year end ironman. Just coz many others are also doing it. And i think it'll be a ball to go together. And if they do it this year, it generally means they won't go back to the same place next year. Hmm.. Tough choice. Anyway, i have up till jun to make up my mind.
So i've done the water fiesta on Saturday.

Upcoming races would be:
NUS biathlon 17 Feb
Singapore Biathlon 1 March.

Then i have a huge gap till OSIM triathlon and Aviva Half Ironman.
Army half marathon
Standard Chartered Masters Swim
And finally the Standard chartered marathon end of the year.

Other races i'm thinking of would be Lion City Marathon. Might do another Triathlon such if i can find it. And probably one more run/aquathlon.

Haven't really gotten it planned out yet. But i'm hoping to not have too big a gap between races coz i would lose focus and get bored. Ha...

Eh.. thats about it. I'm actually quite impressed about my posting rate for the month of Jan. Must not be working hard enough. .... =P
