Siao ah??!!

Sunday, don't know what went wrong with me. Till today, I am still seaching for an answer. Maybe really siao liao.

Work up in the morning, felt tried. But I dragged myself out of bed and had 2 half boiled egg, compliment it with 2 slices of bread and drove off for a swim at Safra Tampines. First time swimming in the morning. In my mind, I fixed at minimum 40 laps, non-stop. (that's my 'usual' requirement) But went on until 50 laps. Felt ok leh. So my mind told me, lets do 50 laps today, but went on swimming till 60laps.

During the swimming I have noticed that everytime when I hit the end wall, I see new faces. Perhaps, I have spend a longer time in pools. Family, couples and swimmers came, they swam and they have left, yet I am still swimming.

Not satisfy by just 60 laps, I went on to 70 laps. By the time I completed and said enough, I hit 70 laps (3.5km) non stop swim. Out from the pool, I felt fresh leh, no pain at all. This is crazy!!! Ordeal started from 10.10am until 11.45am. This is possible.

I remember I used to envy someone telling me that his usual laps was 50. I will go 'WOW' that's impossible, because I had never thought of doing 50laps, and yet yesterday a 70 laps.....Now I believe that 50 just easy. Hahahaha....

When home took a light lunch and watch TV loh. Nice to have school holiday......2 more weeks before school start. Took a power nap about 1 hour and alarm goes off at 4.00pm, which I had set earlier. Bright sunny evenning good for a LSD. Went for my LSD at 4.30pm with my 2XU visor and nike running pouch. The bloody weather was so warm.

By the time I make a U-turn at Singa Inn, light rain came and started hammering my visor liao. Continue my way back home. A total of 70 laps in the pool (non-stop) and a 18km run. (in hot sun and heavy rain)

Went home thought of taking my wife out for a walk with her lantern, but the rain did not stop till 9.30pm. Tried putting myself to sleep but could not managed till 11.30pm.

Today, went I woke up, my wife told be 'Look at your face, like red face ghost.' I started to stared into the mirror and yes my face is like a otah.....So red and burn. Hahaha...

I think I have gone crazy yesterday. But it can be done. I am proud of myself.
