Getting what i wanted...

Not too long ago, i was complaining about getting uninspired. My prayers are being answered. New inspiration has come through the need to vent some emotions after a roller-coaster week.

There is a disturbance in the force. There is alot going down at work that i choose not to ignore because i feel that for this company and i am naturally concerned about its progress. Turning to my personal life, there is no short of ups and downs. Looks like it's not easy starting all over again and i'm starting to believe that getting into a relationship isn't as simple as it used to be before we started working.

Remember your first love, the simplicity of getting together with him/her? Now that we've started working, there's just too much 'maturity' involved.

So without elaborating much, my shitty week has culminated in news (both of which were delivered today with deathly timing) given to me. Even though my legs and arms are still aching from the hard run and chin-ups from the past couple of days, i'm feeling the urgent need to run and work off all the emotions and concerns i'm facing now.

Of course, i still turn to the One. I do forget and times like these that i feel far away. Oh well.. i'm all hyped up. Let's go.

I feel like i've neglected this space. And since this space is a journal (of sorts) to my training, it also means that i've neglected my training as well.

Obviously, i'm not as fired up as i used to be. About a year ago, it was pretty much all bright-eyed about entering the world of multi-sport. Perhaps i've adopted an attitude of been there, done that, so i don't feel the rush of doing them the first time.

This year, i've gotten my competition plan worked out (in chronological order):

- Singapore Biathlon

- OCBC Cycle

- Aviva Ironman

- OSIM Singapore Triathlon

- Stan Chart Marathon

I may take part in some fringe events to help prepare for the above key competitions. But other than the Ironman, i don't feel the hype anymore. It's probably just going to be about doing better times.

I'm certain that my work and personal life (see, i consider them seperate) has added much distraction to my training plans. I'm coping well with my current job that i've been in for coming 3 years now. There's still the fair share of ups and downs, but i'm thankful for being where i am now. Personal life...ahh... that one is tricky.

I've been confidently single for some time now, and for the right reasons, i believe i'm ready to open up and give relationships another try. Been meeting new people, but only to know them as friends. And i'm glad. I'm happy. (At least i have a better social life than just work, run, eat, swim, cycle, sleep)

And I have faith that love is going to come my way again this year. Wait a sec. Now is January. If it happens in December, then i really bang balls lor.

Oh what the heck, what's another 11+ months if it's going to be forever?

Ok, ok..back to training. (See, i told you it's distracting)

So. the plan is to be inspired. 2010, a year of blessed favour & restful increase and God-given peace. My Rest and Hope is to be fitter, look sexier, and have an awesome race.

What is yours?

Double-You...Tee...Eff, mate.

Ok, my editor just told me to write a story for February's valentine's day issue - Couple Sports.

Seriously..

...call my cynical, but i'm single. I run, swim, cycle and train alone. Now i'm supposed to do a lovey-dovey mushy sports article for couples?

Please shoot me.
