The Fighter
Although my alarm went off at 5:30am, I woke up at 6:30am and was late to pick up the guys for beach training today. Strangely, Malay never replied to my messages yesterday, and when I picked up Thai, he called Malay and his phone was off. We decided to go without him.
After picking Brain up we went to the park with the workout playground. I just did mainly chin ups, trying to work on my form, but still find myself using my legs to give myself momentum.
We then went to the beach and decided to run on the wet sand first this time. For me, it was actually harder to then switch to the soft sand. Brain ran close to halfway on the wet sand, but when I made the switch, it was sooooo hard. Thai was leading the way on the wet sand, then we decided I'd go first on the soft sand. All along I thought he was behind me, but seems like he stopped a little after we started. I was so close to giving up many times, but kept telling myself to go a little further until I finally reached the end. I was breathing like a dog towards the end. Who could've thought running on sand could be this hard?
Thai and I did another lap of the wet sand, I lost him halfway through as he ran ahead and then spotted them on my way back. He ran ahead again but I caught up to Brain and made him run the rest of the way back. I think he's made some significant improvement, but it's the mental aspect that's hard to improve.
I drove them home after that, no pressure with time because I didn't have swimming today as A was sick with the flu. Funny that, my left nostril has been runny like hell today.
I went home and had something to eat, then washed my car. After that I had a shower, then headed out to Bondy as I wanted to check out seat covers and cat food prices. I was pretty tired, but told myself to go anyway. I parked in the shopping centre and then went to check out the pet store. They make it look cheap, but in fact their cat food was way more expensive than the supermarkets.
I then went to the auto store next door and checked out the seat covers. I ended up buying a set with blue dragons on it. I asked them if I could return it if it didn't fit, as that was my main concern. They said yes. The guy I asked was pretty nice about it, but the guy at the cashier was actually texting on his phone as he was serving me.
I was so excited I quickly tried the covers on when I returned to my car, but found out that you needed to remove the rear seats to put them on, which I cannot do.
Disappointed, I drove off to the shopping centre near me to watch The Fighter. I was pretty hungry as I had barely had anything to eat the whole day, so went for a fish and chips meal. That really satisfied me.
I then went to watch The Fighter. As I had just eaten, it saved the need for popcorn and lemonade, so that saved a bit of money too. I was so tired I rested my eyes during the trailers and the beginning of the movie. I felt it started off slow, but around the time when his brother went into jail was when the movie picked up. I though Mark Wahlberg did a really good job, and so did Christian Bale. I could tell Mark worked out a lot to become like a boxer, but I don't think they showed enough of it. I would've liked to see more skipping and working out. There was some, but not enough for me. I was really in the mood to be motivated.
After the movie I was going to drive to the seaside to have another go at taking my rear seats out, but ended up just driving close by and returning home. During the movie I did think about seeing Naby or going for a massage, but watching Christian Bale's character really made me think twice.
Did I want to go down that road?
It made me wonder if my gambling addiction had affected my basketball back then.
I went home and tried to take the rear seats out, but failed again. I decided to return the seat covers next week, but earlier I decided to try on the front seat covers. They're a little too big, but still look decent, so I think I'll keep it.
