January always kicks off the year optimistically. You do things at the frequency you believe that you can keep up for the rest of the year.

Case in point: I have been to yoga for 12 times this month. I have braved the new peak with 2 nights ending around 2330 hours till 0000 of the next day. I have met up with friends more often. I have a new look for my blog (courtesy of The laney’s IT help of course). But more prevalently, my first month has been a blur of office, Pure Yoga and back home for sleep. No, I agree, it is not exactly healthy.

Although yoga has been tough on me. Though I doggedly trudge to the studio for lessons. I have to start sleeping earlier and start waking up earlier on weekends. As much as I do not wish to pack my weekends, I have to because All Work and No Play, makes Awful a dull and bitchy girl.

We had a CNY gathering at Leng’s place earlier tonight. As Addy signed up for Sundown with Auntie Shufang, I talked Missy Teo into joining the Stan Chart run at the end of the year with me. And in her trademark insistent ‘You have to do it’ manner, she talked me into doing the half marathon instead of the 10km. I promptly thought I had gone mad as she started on her plan for our training beginning in June. Oh well, she is not my tennis doubles partner for nothing. Coordinating outfits here we come again. Heh. Time for new shoes and a new ‘training for the marathon’ outfit. Shups asked me whether I even run. I said no and said that Missy Teo was better. To which she promptly quipped with a quick yes. But if she is going to make me run for another bus, I will throw my new shoes at her.

By the way, Missy Teo, my knee is hurting just as I am thinking of running again.
