I am the Weekend Workout Warrior

Some levels of excitement while watching Liverpool alone right now since Steve is working the night shift. And stealing some time during half time to blog a little. Why does the weekend always just fly by as well?

Since I am watching Liverpool and I'd just finished a tennis session, I thought - I'd write about me being the Weekend Workout Warrior (WWW). :-D

And this is a core part of how I de-stress and de-clutter my mind.
Was I tired? You bet. But I just like the "body-on-fire" feel.

And this morning was very very nice. I "anyhow run". Went to this more unbeaten path, and it was quite beautiful. I had to brace some levels of cold and wind until I reached sunshine. But when my body got warmed up, it was all good. :)


很美吧。:)

Step by step, step by step. Kenneth ever asked me before why I don't log my runs. I just don't. I'd tried runkeeper until they sent me junk stuff. I just enjoy the run and now that I have my oura ring, these are the steps for the past 2 days. :-D


On Sat - with a nice track run (maybe 15 - 16 rounds, some exchanges with the running coach, and then a 30-min stepper in the gym.


And today - an hour's run - the "anyhow run", followed by a 30-min cool-down walk on the treadmill and some arm tones, and that last min tennis lesson with Omar's free slot.

It is so exciting to watch Liverpool. Already so so many chances in the start of this 2nd half. So good and so much teamwork and slick passes. And also so much frustration that there were so many misses... and that obvious hand ball?!

I started reading Ben Mezrich's book on The Accidental Billionaire, and took a short cut and went to Wikipedia to read more about the whole story and dispute.
See - and when I went to cook fish last evening, Kenji just curled up at my seat. This is his favourite place on the sofa, and erm, it is also mine. :-D

So cute - that face. :))

The match is getting very very exciting. Heart popped out a few times. Man U also had some good chances. I think writing keeps my heartbeat a little more still, rather than watch all the way. Heart attack, as always.

And CNY is just 1 week away. There is not much CNY feel here, but perhaps it is because I never really went to the mall or dubai. I read that there are already quite some festivities in Dubai. Nonetheless, we did a chinese lunch at Shangri La today. Dim Sum and a nice lunch buffet.


This is the first year since we came here that I am not back for reunion dinner or for CNY Day 1. I do miss the CNY feel a little and wonder how it is like in SG right now? Have seen on social media feeds some lou heis, some gatherings, the robinson's chinese banner misses, etc... but nevermind, at least we will still be in time for some CNY gatherings since there are 15 days to celebrate CNY.

Another 12 - 15 mins max to go. It's heart-attack several times. And... 2 more substitutions for Liverpool side. C'mon.... Another 10 mins to go.

Time seems so long suddenly.
Max - another 10 minutes to go.
Max - another 7 minutes to go?
3 minutes to go.

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A superb long pass by Allison, to Mo Salah, and GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*******
This must be one of the longest time I have taken to write a post... so so exciting.
What a wonderful way to end the Sunday evening. :))))

It's gonna be another great week ahead. :-D
