Week 4: This schedule needs an overhaul

At least for the format of my exercise posts.

While it’s nice to jot everything down, I also use it as a reminder and schedule keeper. So in the interest of making my life easier, I’ll be revamping this post’s format for my next round. Open-mouthed smile

    Week 3:

    So my bicycle ran out of air. It’s sitting on two deflated tires and I’ve to pump it back up again.

    However  my air pump sucks. And bring it to the petrol station is a ridiculous waste of time as it doesn’t have the required PSI setting.

    What’s left is to buy a floor pump. A massive monster that with nice long strokes and pushy as heck. At least my bicycle will be bouncing nicely in no time.

      Eat Spider

      At Khmer Delight along East Coast Road. They’re not on the menu but you can ask for it.

      A two-some costs $5.90 and they taste like meaty french fries.

      Week 2.5: Slowly Slowly

      Bloody slow cyclist!  Bloody slow runner – not too slow!

      One week after my back gave out, I’m at my core + pylometrics exercises again. It’s not too great though. It’s hard work just to complete it.

      But I’ll keep at it.

      Just because I should.

        Week 2.0: Mr Injury Prone

        And so I got injured again. My back gave out from doing Core exercises (ironically).

        For two days, I penguin-waded from point A to point B. In fact, it got so painful that I had to brace my abs just to stand…without moving at all.

        “A massage,” I thought “It’d do me wonders.”

        Oh it did. But not without more pain.

        It was one of the most jaw-clenching, fist-grasping, scream-like-a-little-girl massage that I’ve ever had. The masseuse, a slender wisp of a girl, hit all the pain spots without much effort.

        The next day, I ached. I was sore like I’d been through the grinder. But oddly enough, 24 hours after my massage, my strained back muscles subsided to a whisper. And my shoulder doesn’t hurt as much as before.

        Now that’s remedy!
