Just Stuff
Already Monday morning. Have an incredibly difficult and frustrating 2 weeks coming up at work – right now, if feels like a category 5 hurricane is just a few hours away from hitting me full force. Argh !
As for the weekend, got up early Saturday – did some quick work – and then went with Decy’s family to Ancol. Ancol is kind of like Orlando but on a very much smaller scale. They have one section called Fantasia which is like Disneyworld / Busch Gardens – but about 10% of the size. This is also the location where the Sea World is, where we took the orphan kids last week. Anyway, we ran around Fantasia until about 4pm. The little kids had an absolutely great time. Parents seem to have fun. Got home – lots of folks jumped in the pool.
Not me. I jumped on the treadmill. I knew I wouldn’t be able to run on Sunday and even though I had just spent the entire day in the hot sun – I reasoned I needed to give it my best shot. As you can imagine, my body was already “thirsty” even before I started. That was clearly an issue. Anyway, I took off running at a pretty fast clip (at least for me) of 9.5 kms/hr. Could only keep that up for 5 kms (about 32 minutes). Slowed to 8 kms/hr, caught my breath then cranked it back up to 9. Hung there pretty much to the end. By the end, surprisingly, I actually ran further than I ever had ….. 14.4 kms, 872 calories, 100 minutes.
Decy and I are still planning / organizing a run from Ciputat to the house. I think the tentative date is 29-Sept.
As for yesterday, Sunday, I spent the day working …. got up at 630am – worked until 420pm with only a couple of short breaks. Sang some karoke with Decy, ate dinner, collapsed in bed at 730pm. Up at 330am – not including the 100am wake up when I realized there was an error on the Warden emergency calling list – such is my life.
Gotta go. Ciao ciao.
