i jogged today and it ain't a good discovery. i was out of breath after 3 minutes!! 3 MINUTES.. that is only 180seconds!!! my oh my~~ i kinda expected my stamina would dropped, but not this low~ hahaha..
before i decided to continue my studies as an undergraduate, i was thinking of joining the army. i trained for 3 months and my best time was 5mins in one Km. that was NOT BAD!!! pretty good infact. and i could do 4 to 5 Km in one day. *sigh* it was hard to push up the stamina but it surely drops fast once you discontinue training eventhough in just 2months.
my mind whispered, am i fit??.. then, all the knowledge i've studied flew into my brain. i've been doing exercise that are strength and endurance based; like weight lifting and swimming. i've been neglecting cardio exercise for a while now. so, as all coach might do to their students; start from basic. be systematic. start from basic and gradually increase the intensity.
i must get my stamina back. i remembered when i was in secondary school, SMJA. people always wondered why i smiled all the time. then, i thought it was because i jogged almost everyday. my mind was tension free and endophine (jogger's high) kicked in. i missed the "happy go lucky" side of me. i won lots of running event; sports day, jogathon, climbathon, just name it. Dahriah would be there, grabbing the 1st place medal. missed those glory times. my juniors from SMJA even called me MARTINA HINGGIS!! gosh. Martina Hinggis was a legendary tennis player few years back. i adore her still. knowing people gave me that nick name, it was a time of my life that i'l always remember.
i study sports, somehow i don't do much sport as i used to because doing the theory and reading about it took alot of my time.
ok, less talking more action Dahriah!!!! YO STAMINA, i'l get u back!!!
p/s pass few days were pretty hectic, will update soon.
