Slowly getting back!

So i've been down with the flu for the last 3 days. So thats kinda put a dent in to my training program. Only just week i was telling some peeps that i was getting the feeling of running back. The kind of feeling that i have been missing for awhile. I'll give myself 1 more day of rest. Then i go for a easy bike ride this saturday, easy as in i not going to push myself, i just going to take it nice and slow and easy. Just to warm up the system again.

Other then that, all i been doing is sleeping, i guess thats the only time when anyone gets to sleep and sleep an not feel guilty about spending to much time sleeping. Well, there always is a reason why we fall sick, not enough sleep, or not doing or taking in of something that is needed in our bodies. I fallen sick more this year then i can count in the pass few years. Which makes me thing on why i getting sick now compared to why i was not getting sick at all last time. Maybe it's life style. I was very disciplined last year, hardly drink, no late night out, resting well after training, sleeping early. I think thats the most important part. I use to go to bed by 11pm every day last year mostly. I seriously think a good nights sleep does wonders. No adays i sleep late. 12 or pass 12.

Well, i'm feeling 90% better now so hopefully, i stop falling sick again anytime soon. Hope all is well with you guys out there. Remember, live each day like your last, cause you never know what is going to happen tomorrow.

Live everyday to the fullest!

Once again, the topic is brought back to my mind. Reminder i would also say. Got news on saturday night that a friends mum passed away, rather suddenly. Then 2 weeks ago Fr O'Niel also passed away suddenly, which brings things to prospective again. Love out your day to the best you can, in whatever you are doing be it small or big, cause you will never know when you going see or experience that particular moment again.

So far base training has been going good. Getting the feeling back again, both in cycling and running, but i still have a long way to go in terms of getting to were i want to be, but slow an stead is the key. :)

Back!

Okie, after a long hiatus, i'm back here to do some writing, well try to do some writing. Whats been going on you may ask. Nothing much actually. Other then trying to get myself back in shape since IMWA. 

Been trying to increase my speed in swim, bike and run. Been doing interval training for all 3. Somehow it's so much hard on the bike and run. lol. It's like this never ending battle to get faster or better shape then ppl who at the same time are also improving as well. 

Thinking i going to give the full IM distance a rest for now. I going to concentrate on doing my 70.3s. As much to what alot of ppl say about going all the way overseas just to do a half IM is a waste, i think it is still okie. I'm trying to aim for florida in someway. An i got my work cut out for me. The last HIM i did i came in 6hrs 30 mins. I need to cut that timing down by 1 hrs 30mins. I would say my swim is almost there as i can comfortable do my swim in about 42 mins for 1.9k. It's the bike and the run i need to work on. At the same time i guess i should stop being so lazy an get my butt out more to train. 

O another note, i'll be doing a charity ride to mersing and back. Would be good if all of you could donate to this cause. The url is :http://www.charitybnb.com.sg/.  You got to put my name down as the rider. Loh Peng Jun. Would be great if you also set me a msg saying that you have donated so i can keep track. 

Well, it is ENR tonight so i should be cycling. Cheers all
