-------------
I've managed to train a bit more this week. I have been icing the ankle area and stretching my calves almost every night, and this has helped eased the tenderness in the achilles tendon cum heel area. I was even able to do a 12k run with emily.......though it was at an easy pace. I was really impressed with her cos it has been a while since I ran with her at mac, and she seems to be running better and stronger......in fact, she was pushing the pace the last 3k!
Today, I did a 80k with des that included 2 loops around NTU. I also pushed the pace a bit on some of the flatter and straighter parts. I felt good on the ride, though I was bothered by my sore bum in the later parts of the ride. Definitely need to ride more!
Overall, it's been a good week of training. Am looking forward to tomorrow........Youth Day! Holiday!

"...because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."
-Romans 5:3-5
-Romans 5:3-5
"The only limits we have are the ones we give ourselves"
"So we can suffer, and in suffering we know who we are."
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming; but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: Wow!! What a ride!!!"
"When a man says 'I cannot', he has made a suggestion to himself. He has weakened his power of accomplishing that which otherwise would have been accomplished."
"I realize many eyes are on me to see how I handle my situation and overcome. If I don’t give up, other people who may be tempted to give up won’t. They will have to keep trying because I am living proof of unwillingness to give up."
"Unless you test yourself, you stagnate. Unless you try to go way beyond what you've been able to do before, you won't develop and grow. When you go for it 100%, when you don't have the fear of "what if I fail," that's when you learn. That's when you're really living."
"Live your life so that when you wake up in the morning, Satan says, 'sh!t, he's awake'".
"Success or failure on race day isn't a function of one single ride or run. It's the result of the steady accomplishment of consistency, week after week, where everything fits together and lets you get done, week after week."
"The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what we want most for what we want at the moment."
"Clarity of purpose comes when you are pursuing the highest expression of your talents, are motivated primarily by the love of your activity, and live a lifestyle congruent with your stated purpose. When you have clarity of purpose, you will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals and you will love every minute of it."
