Monday Training
Forced myself to keep up the fitness and to maintain regular exercise is the key now. Mon. and Wed. Club squad training is a must! Ran 5 km at a steady slow pace myself and following up with 3 sets of 15 sit up and hold for last set plus 30 quadruped! and last 60 sec. core plank.
Swim is depressing! Now i switch to a Fast Lane (We only have Super fast and fast lane!) No problem to leading the swim but i have to slow down to avoid the heart rate going up, meaning that i have to let go and follow at the back and swim really slow and glide! When you think of the old days i usually coming up from the pool with exhaustion, now is more like did i doing my best and pushed all the way through? but i cant... The drop from the high to low is really miserable.

Sunday Run - Get through it
Looking at myself these days i am so lost in shape and i cannot let it go like this anymore. Pushing myself to maintain certain fitness is obviously what i have to do now. Charles went to Repluse bay for his Aquawiz Aquathlon and because i'm having some skin allergy, i am trying to avoid to the beach. Bad luck these day.
Ran the hard 5km around my house, feeling so great! Love the sweating! follow by 3 set of 15 sit up and 30 legs kick back! Feeling normal now....

Diagnosis of Thyroid and nodules
Day 9 of diagnosis of Thyroid
Bad bad bad mood :( These Thyroid is totally ruling my mood and my body!!!
I was diagnosis on 25th April (Thursday) after i come back with a Langkawi Mom & Daughter retreat. i have feel my heartbeat is difference few weeks ago and i told Charles about this, we both think that must be related to the increase amount of training. Until i found my throat pain when swallowing liquid, i see my specialist Dr. Lau Po Yee and is clear that this is not the esophagus cancer (i worried about this because i always eat too hot food and i think i eat a lots) and he suggest to check my blood and do a ultra sound and he feel that may be Thyroid!!
Blood test done and ultrasound done. Founded 6 nodules around and diagnosis of hyperthyroidism!!! That explain why i feel sleepless started few weeks ago, faster heartbeat, weight loss, pain when swallowing :(
Now having medication and i have seek for second doctor advice to check again after a month medication and see if the nodules have any changes! which means another blood test need to be done after few weeks!
Doctor have no limits on food and exercise. I try to cut down the shell type seafood. For exercise, training i feel bad. I feel my legs is so soft suddenly and no sufficient power to run when compare few weeks before. This really hesitate me.......i try to jog with Charles last week and totally want to give up the whole way, feel i cant catch my breath and no power at all......
Beside, i feel like i have no mood in anything: shopping, cooking, reading, candy crushing..........
Please please please give me back what i should feel......

2013 Aquathon series - Race 1 (400m swim+3.8km run)
Haven't been race this only pool Aquathon race for 2 years i guess, happy to back to this lovely Kowloon Tsai Park and picking up my old days memory when i'm a newbie back to 2004! The beginner spirit is on, I'm nervous when we are arranged to be seated in line according to our race number and line up at the pool which boost my endorphin higher!
Gun starts, every girls is fighting in their own lane, i can sighted most of us gone in the same speed at about 15m in the splash of water, water is still chilling and i always told myself to clam down, maintain the pace and breathing! when i first do my 50m turn, i started to feel somethings not right as i cannot see clearly on my right eye due to the goggle is borrow from Charlie. (So bad of me i forgot to bring my own!) And i really want to quit! Given the spectators is all seated at the platform and everyone is cheers for the competitors, i don't want to look bad to crawl from the pool and have a DNF! Just slowed down my pace and sucked in this 400m pool swim. Come up from the water the first 3, ran into my transition and pull everything into myself.
The race belt and the pin doesn't help me, one of the pin is fall and the other was not closed. My bib fall off at the first 100m run, the race marshall scream at me and i have to run back and picked it up. Theres no time to think about how to do with this bib number, i just push into the top of my swimsuit and ran as fast as i could. I have hope on my run, and i have giving all out at the last lap! There's really have no room for you to think about how to split your pace at the beginning or the run strategy, you should run as good as you could! and i did it, no left behind! Feeling great to cross the FINISH LINE at a total time of 29mins. 17 sec.
Surprise how my run can do and i cam the champion of female 30-34 despite the top ladies is not in the race today! But i'm happy with my finish time! Now more speed work for me for the next race!

Standard Charter Marathon 2013 - My first SCM half marathon
Loving the spirit and the feel of being part of the HK biggest running event:) Love Hong Kong!
Haven't been race for just a running race for long time. Despite the off season and the Chinese new year, i didn't train consistence as i scheduled myself. On the Wed. sess i told Evan what if our running time is slower than the run time we did at the half Ironman race. That will be in shame!
I try to push myself on a hard interval on Wed. and see how i could do. Feeling is great and fresh!
Could ran a better result if i can train more regularly and more consistence but i would have no friends and family:) lol! My finish net time is 1 hours 50mins. 2 sec. alot s better than i expected! I can now take out my best record i set in 2008! Thank Ah On to warm up with me and the tips of the road condition! Thanks Kenneth yip my coach still pushing me the time that i don't believe and the correction of my running form recently!

Dream of Coffee
Don't wander! Don't wander!
Wandering mind will open the door to mara-mind!
Don't forget! Don't forget the instructions!
Forgetfulness will create room for your ignorant actions!
Remember death! Remember impermanence!
Remembering this makes your life meaningful.
Extend love! Give love!
Loving heart makes your path smooth.
Supplicate the Buddha! Supplicate the Three Jewels!
Supplicating the 3 Jewels will connect with the Buddha within.
Supplicate the Guru! Supplicate the Three Roots!
Supplicating the 3 Roots invokes the true blessings within.
Purify karma! Purify life!
Purifying your karma will bring true freedom.
Purify habits! Purify tendencies!
Purifying habits transcends your ego.
