JUNKO'S CROSS COUNTRY RACE

I WENT TO WATCH MY students play floorball finals that day... they played really well.. girls emerged as the champion in the nationals and the boys came in second... a great achievement.. they played really their best! lost by a point...

and then i rushed to bukit timah to watch my sister's last race of the the year.. so called last cross country race.. she is in sec 4.. yup... she was rather disappointed that i was not there before her race... I am normally at every important race that she takes part in... but last wed, I could only rushed down in time to see her finishing the race... i took a cab from pasir ris to bukit timah! haha. and she was rather happy upon seeing me at the end! i shouted like mad!!! ahaha....

she is a slow learner.. not incline academically, but rather good in sports... swimming is good but not very good in running... sounds like me when i was young.. the exact scenario... thats why she resembles me in a lot of ways...

but i believe that one day, she will emerge as someone good... I am moving her towards biathlon and more focussed running... she will soon be joining my coach for training... and focussing on bettering her longer distances... i hope the money i pay for her training don't go to waste... I know that she needs motivation... soon you will see a different Junko... she is the next upcoming lady!

trainings for past week

i just had a hard week of training and coaching...

last thursday: 1200m x 8 times....

coached asked me to go at a easy pace of 5:18 per set... and this was what i did... first set 5:15 min... second to seventh sets all at 5:17 mins... and last set 4:46 min...

shocked coach and vivian who was doing the timing for me.. ahah.., they were amazed how i can keep my pace so accurately at 5:17min... though not too fast.. but was quite interesting!!! thanks to coach who gave me a relatively easy pace to go at and thanks to vivian for taking the timings for me!!! anyway Vivian won the JP morgan 5 km race!!! way to go girl!!! u improved a lot in a short time! this proves that coach and you are working towards the correct direction! i foresee a 2 hr 40 min from you for gold coast marathon.. hahah...

sat was woking workout... and i took more than 60 pictures .. but cannot upload everything... so i just upload a few here though!!...and marcus doing the lunges...and atiqi... one of the leanest and does the most weights in our team...illyas... haha ...
and JJ pretending there was weight bar...and our coach....!next up is JOE....!and me....and them doing the sit ups...and atiqi with his pacs!!! hahaah i purposely took this photo to show Illyas!and fanning service is also available...and the skinniest person in the team... i feel so fat in front of JOE!and some photos of us after training...and wat is joe trying to do behind... extra!and the guys.... just SHUT UP AND TRAIn... written on the waterbottle... signalling to those athletes who talk more than they train...and then another picture before they went on to play frisbee..
and frisbee time!and then the following day... sunday ... it was a good 1.5 hours easy run at macritchie... i ran with a slightly newly injured left ankle! hate injuries!

haircut

i went to jurong west to have a haircut... wanted to go with SHU... but the because she cant make it tomorrow... so went alone today..

the hairstylist was the same one 3 years ago who did my hair rebonding for me.. that time he was really nice...

this time when i went to him.. i told him i wanted to cut off my damaged hair parts and cut it short and told him almost below ear length... then he basically just trimmed off the damaged parts and then i was questioning him what happened to my hair length.. i dun wanna tie the hair up!... then he started to get hostile... and he handed me some books to look thru for hairstyles.. then i say i really cant find one i want from the book...

tried my best to explain to him wat i wanted... then he say how can it be possible for me not able to find any suitable hairstyles from the book when there are so many... there were ony aout 20 hairstyles u know... mostly permed hair... haiz...

in the end... my face turned really black throughout the whole session when he cut my hair... i din really like it.. though he used flying cut, layering and a lot of skilful cutting.... but then he had already spoilt my mood...

I am not going to go there again...

next time i cut... will go with SHU...
