Hmm let's see, today I did a total of 3 different workouts: Intervals, Gym and a (short) long-d run.
Well, I was surprised that this morning's CPFA turn out to be a speed/str training session instead. Had to quickly readjust my plans for the latter part of today but in the end it turned out good. Did a 500m x6 interval sprints at 2min/.5km with 3 mins rest periods. Honestly it was quite shack, as I haven't been doing intervals for a long time. It gave me a throbbing headache afterwards man. But a great workout nevertheless.
Following the day's activities I headed to Pioneer gym to do some weights training. All the while I was enduring this nagging headache but I just couldn't bring myself to cancel the session. The prospect of me hitting a good timing for all the sacrifice was always motivating and pushing me through. Did the usual stuff, biceps, lats, chest. I figured that the reason I haven't been adding muscle is because of my lack of intensity when I'm lifting the weights. So I tried much harder today, and it definitely felt that I've done more in the end.
Took a power nap from 1710 to 1815. The hardest part of the day was to drag my corpse-like body up for the evening run. Added to the fact that it was so cooling and comfortable due to the thunderstorm a few hours beforehand, I was so bloody tempted to just lie down and go back to sleep! I don't know how, but I still managed to go for the run. Though I must have looked like a zombie.
For the run, things turned out to be quite surprising as well. I was expecting it to be hellacious, with my headache and all, even if I had already fixed it to be a super slow jog. But somehow, I didn't feel a single bit of exhaustion after the run. I can actually say that that was arguably the most enjoyable run I've ever had in my life!
I guess today perfectly exemplifies the chinese saying; "Fight poison with poison"!
Less than 20 days to my Msia trip!
