hey peepz!
today, i actually stayed home the whole day. wow. it has been a long time since i ever did so really. for about 98% for the last weeks, it has always been waking up to train, train, train. today, i decided to stay at home.
actually the only reason why was because i came down with a sore throat. when it comes to sore throats, i become super paranoid. sore throats are the harbingers of more disasters to come. sore throats always precedes other illness, especially fever, cold and flu. sore throats are always uncomfortable. i cant breathe nor eat nor drink properly. i hate falling ill. i believe that prevention is definitely better than cure. it beats staying in bed for 3 days feeding on antibiotics and sweating out the heat under 2 layers of blankets and downing mouthfuls after mouthfuls of water, only to go to pee until your knees get so weak you have to grab enough support from the wall just to stand and piss. yes. i have been through all those one too many times to want to go through them again and again. furthurmore, once you fall sick, all those muscles start to atrophy, you begin to lose stamina, and the next time you try to run 5 kilometres, you would feel you were dragging some invisible deadweight along with you.
so yeah. sore throats are evil. they must be stopped.
so i drank a lot more water, took some chuan bei pi ba gao, some strepsils and tried to sleep as much as i could.
i felt really sad when so many people were inviting me out to have fun or gym and stuff. its always so regretful to have to reject people, only to stay in bed all alone in the house. ah well.
but i am better now. at least i can swallow my saliva knowing that i dun have a sore throat. i do have a headache now though, due to excessive sleep. ah well. the price i had to pay.
from now till the race, i have to keep myself sane and healthy as part of my personal responsibility. cannot fall ill, cannot injure myself, cannot eat nasty foods (but my dad HAD to make curry chicken for dinner. ah well, will have to make up for it by going for more runs later), cannot sleep late, drink more water, eat more protein, train more, run more, skip more, swim more, read more on inspiration and mental preparations. wow. so many things to do. guess, will have to start by cleaning up the room.
next week is training camp. wonder what it is going to be like. according to the itinery, its training and more trainng. so guys, i wont be around the whole of next week. have fun without me then!
