Inspired

Im rather tempted to join the OSIM mini tri for 2006, which covers a swim distance of 200m, cycling of 10km and a run of 2km.

Of course, all temptation or desire must come from a source of inspiration. Mine came from Elizabeth. She is a pump, balance, combat and cycling instructor at california fitness as well as a singapore national tri-athlete. Was surfing ickleoriental's blog and got through to this website where they listed the results of the osim tri 2005 held last weekend at east coast. Elizabeth is really fast! Hers is the elite category which consist of a 1500m swim/40km cycle and a 10km run. She finished everything in a mere 2hrs and 30mins plus. Woah. You can check out her pictures here. (Type Elizabeth Kim and run a search)

I finally managed to pull myself out of bed at 730am this morning because i didn get to visit the gym for one whole week since i started work. So today, i went for two classes in a row. Combat and pump back to back can really kill someone who havent been working out for a week. Surprisingly, my muscles are still feeling OH'kay and i didnt even realise my combat ended until everybody started to take their towel for the cooling down stretches. Though pump was a little hard right after an hour of kicking and shielding, i was trigger happy and flushed after the two classes. Maybe my stamina and strength have been improving without me even realizing! Hmmmn. I always choose wednesday for pump coz elizabeth teaches pump on wed morning.

I always see her fit and strong and i really feel inspired to be like her. In fact, she is already married and has a child. What i admire most was when she continued teaching even when her tummy was all showy and big! She was definitely one of the most radiant, healthy and beautiful pregnant mama that ive seen!

Well, plans....

Since i work euro hours, maybe i should really wake up earlier during certain days in the morning to either hit the gym with more pump and runnning or either choose to go for a quick swim. I wanna stay fit and strong!

Wheeeeee.
