I won’t lie. Today has to be one of the most stressful days in 2011.
Not that I had a tight deadline to meet. Rather, I had bad news/information overload.
News about an impending four-month weekend project with few breaks in between descended on the team today.
It will start just before my wedding anniversary which means that I have to skip the annual tradition of going on a holiday for Labour day this year.
A colleague will celebrate her birthday working on the last day of the project. So I guess we’re on the same boat.
But I’m glad that the news came today because at least I had some time to blow off steam at the gym.
After that, there was the birthday dinner at La La Chong, Kayu Ara to look forward to.
Today I spent 35 minutes on the elliptical machine. That’s a mean feat for me because I get bored easily on it. But luckily I had my mp3 player. I blasted my favourite songs and moved to the tempo.
I broke up a sweat more than I normally would on a treadmill. It’s because you have to continue pushing and pedalling to keep the machine running. If you slow down, it will pause or shut off.
I tried to sustain the momentum on the elliptical machine but I couldn’t do it past minute 35. So I hopped off the machine and hopped on the treadmill for another 20 minutes.
This time I walked for a bit and then forced myself to jog to a full song. It was tough because my legs were killing me — thanks or no thanks to my Runtone shoes that makes running on pavement feels like running on sand.
So the day that I can run a full 15-minute with those shoes on will be the day that I’ll be in the best shape of my life!
Well I reckon so because running in Runtone is totally killing me! 
So that was my workout for today. I was drenched in sweat and my face was so red by the end of it. There were times that I felt I could keel over but I survived!
I might run around the neighbourhood this weekend if weather and time permit. Wish me luck!
