Another Round of Randomness

So I'm at work right now and I suddenly found myself with nothing to do, and that is dangerous for me, because then my mind starts to wander/wonder :P and it can either take me to a good place or a bad place.. I'm like an elephant.. I can't forget the recent events in my life.. Although I must admit, I don't recall much of my childhood at all!

Anyhoo.. look what just got delivered by soft copy?
Sundown Marathon Achievement Certificate 

I tried putting the picture but I don't know how to make it from a PDF to a JPEG file.. I hope the link works!

I signed up for another marathon on 18th November 2012.  10km for the Penang Bridge International Marathon!  It's a run across the longest bridge in Malaysia and I can't wait!  I get to explore Penang while I'm there as well.. which was what I wanted to do since I've never been to Penang!

And I'm signing up for the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon sometime in December 2012.  Yup, doing another 10km there.  I pray that I come in before the cut off time because baby .. I want that finisher medal!  And that means I have to train.  I realized from my last marathon that the motion of the elliptical is very different from running.. so now I'm going to do both the elliptical AND the treadmill for training.

Guess where I'm going in 2 weeks time??  I'm going on a cruise to Greece!  OMG OMG OMG.. I am so extremely excited.. I've always wanted to go to Greece.. I mean.. look at this..

How is it possible not to visit such a gorgeous place like that?  And what's best is that PrincessBling and Hubby (hers.. not mine) will be flying down from USA to meet us on the cruise and Inland tour.  Can't wait to see PrincessBling.. it's been months!

We're going to fly to Turkey and stay for a day before heading on our 6 day cruise, then going for another 6 day Inland tour of Athens.  How exciting is that?  I already got my bikinis ready.. and I'm going to bring my largest suitcase!  Time for sun sun sun.  Don't worry.. will bring SPF50 sunscreen.. not to mention will be continuing my usage of SK11 whitening for my *ahem* freckles!

How am I going to get back into shape after 2 weeks vacation where I'll be sure to be stuffing my face?  Well, I hope that the determination of finishing 10km in less than 1 and a half hours will push me through.. knowing that there's only about 3 months of training will get me there.. I hope.  Here's my plan.. 20 minutes on the elliptical, 20 minutes on the treadmill, my usual 200 sit ups, 60 leg lifts, 40 butt lifts and 10 pushups every day and on weekends, I might just run on the road to get the real feeling of running.  Might just go to the reservoir and do laps there.. wonder if I can bring Hunter!  Nah.. he'll be dragging me around the course!  Well, wish me luck with my exercise regime will ya? :P

What about my alcohol intake?  My doctors (psychiatrist AND psychologist) have both advised me STRONGLY to cut down on my drinking.. to which I always do.. for a week or so.. and go back to my binge drinking again.  Well, for the sake of my marathon career.. I've decided only to allow myself to binge twice a week (rather than every other day) and that includes weekends! :D  Recently a parent of a friend passed from Liver failure, and that's enough to scare me off. But ohh.. how to resist the temptation of an ICE COLD BEER on stupidly hot days that we're having lately?  SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.............

Ah well, thus ends my randonmess thoughts that I will write down.. hehehe.. other thoughts are too raw to be written down.. in time.. in time..
