Ever since my last attempt at mob running in 2007, I haven’t taken part in any of these events. One excuse being my bad sprain in 2007, but really it’s more due to the yo-yo weight gain and all since then and a general lack of fitness and tenacity. This year I got roped into…
The masochistic part of me decided to try foot reflexology for the sake of know how it feels. The rational bit of me gave in. Well, it’s true that I’ve always wanted to know how foot reflexology felt. So after reading the online forum thread on my favourite female online forum, I found one shop…
As you know I bought a new iPod Nano recently and with it comes an in-built pedometer. I’ve set it to “Always On” so it measures the number of steps I take as long as I carry my iPod with me. So far, it’s been really fun and interesting to keep track of how much…
Today I was at the NUS pool and I had to witness two ugly swimmers. Ugly swimmers in the sense they swim (highly questionable what they were doing actually) in a terribly ugly manner. It looked like they were struggling. Picture this, fellow swimmers, freestyle with the head and face above water the entire time,…
A friend was writing about exercises to strengthen core stability, and I was instantly reminded of what I learn in pilates class and I thought I would share it with all of you. The core muscles of our body (that is approximately back muscles, abdominals, hips, and anything non-extremities) are very important because that’s what…
I went for my first “real” mat-work pilates class this morning and it was fun! I didn’t feel like a stupid beginner (unlike how a beginner just HAS to feel stupid at their first hip-hop/dance class), although some of the movements were beyond challenging. Like the one below: It’s apparently the crow post and when…
(Do buy 4D and when you win, gimme a treat :D) So I went for the Shape Run this morning at the Esplanade. Flag-off for the 5km category was around 7.35am, 5 minutes behind the 10km category. So I ran, with my MP3 player plugged in and I was pretty happy for the first 2.5km,…
Ok so the Shape Run is tomorrow, and I’ve signed up for the 5km beginner category. I shan’t talk about the utterly disgusting experience I had whilst collecting my bib and tee today, all I want to iterate is that the organisers are total buggers who cannot manage sizing preferences for 6000 tees. Anyway, so I’ve compiled a playlist…
(I meant to post this up earlier, but since I was stuck without access to WordPress in China, I can only do it now.) Distance: 5km/ 10km Date: 9 September 2007, Marina Square Registration fee: $20/ $30 Visit here for more information. Alas, I received news that registration has closed because it is already full….
