always running against time… when will i ever learn.

So I embarked on a new challenge yesterday… 1 hour of Kickboxing followed by another hour of heat yoga with a room of 40 other people.

Heat yoga no longer scares me… in fact, I am considering joining on a regular basis.  The only unfortunate thing is the timing of the classes and how drenched in sweat you are after class makes it almost impossible to do anything afterwards.  As a result, I can only go to night classes… :(

I was surprised by my strength in yoga class and i think my time at kickboxing has contributed to that greatly.

A nice session of heat yoga following kickboxing is actually not a bad idea :) WOOHOO.  Back to the calendar again… gotta plan more time for some more yoga sessions.

P.S.  I’ve completed the acceptance application for the UBC program today.  I guess this is it… starting September 2012, I will be a STUDENT again.  (please wish me luck).

gotta learn to live for myself… do things for myself… and ultimately make myself happy before any other.

CRAP! I pulled a muscle in my right arm.

KICKBOXING CLASS #5/10:  16 station circuit… TWICE.  Yes, kickboxing has become THAT intense.  I have to admit though, the class is quite fun but I feel so beat up after class that the drive home is UBER DREADFUL.

Sooo during one of the 16 stations, I was throwing hook punches and BAM I felt something funny in my right arm.  Couldn’t do the 36lb bar lift properly, couldn’t do any of the exercises that required strength in my right arm without feeling pain and thats when you know you’ve effed up your arm. Aw shiznits. this can’t be good…. :(

Hoping and praying frantically for a quick recovery… as the BV tournament is only 2 days away… HELLLPPPP!!!!!! :’(

excitement galore.

I received the acceptance letter on FRIDAY… I’ve been conditionally accepted into the program at UBC, subject to my successful completion of the English Literature course that I’ve been DREADING.

A good sign for me… at least I know that I am heading towards the right direction.  I’ve heard so many horror stories of the program and how difficult the practicuum process is… :S but I am prepared for BATTLE. >:)  BRIINGGG ITT!!!!

VANCOUVER SUN RUN 2012

Yes, thats right… WE DID IT!!!! I am sooo damn proud of my girlies <3

Our goal before the race began was 2 hours to 2.5 hours (not knowing what to expect) but low and behold … we completed the entire [10km] in 1.5 hours!!! WOOHOO!!! It was definitely an awesome experience… I don’t think I’ve ever been SO PUMPED to run before.  The steeped tea that I had in the morning probably had a huge impact on my energy level.

Unfortunately we had no sun during the run… but I think my entire body became too numb while waiting for the race to start that I didn’t even feel the cold after a while.  We did stop for a washroom break… which took 10 minutes (grrr) or else we would have completed the race in less than 1.5 hrs! DARN!!!! We shall aim to beat our time next year :)

The aftermath of this HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT is that I am suffering from MAJOR soreness all over my body.  My thighs… my calfs… my lower back…. >:( OW.
Shall I attempt kickboxing class tonight?  Or shall I rest….??!?!?!
