Sore

Wow are my calf muscles sore or what... Went jogging this morning... 4 km then played soccer in school afterwards in the afternoon... Ran up and down the astroturf for 1.5 hours! Hahaha. But I'm not complaining. I like it, actually.

I think the running is paying off, I didn't tire at all during the game despite playing like 3 on 3... Which means street-soccer style running up and down, up and down... As Matilda would say, like a bunch of monkeys... Lol.

Don't need to count goals cos each of us scored so many that we couldn't even be bothered to keep score... Actually more people were supposed to come but a lot of them didn't cos of the rain, cos they're doing jobs, or cos they flew back to India (yeah, I usually play with the Indians). So... The 6 of us ended up playing in the rain. Haha. Would have been more fun if RI wasn't undergoing construction work and the whole area was so sandy and grimy. The astroturf is in really bad shape... The layers are coming out and the gravel underneath (why is there gravel underneath?) is being exposed so if you step on the wrong places you can expect a sharp pain... Some parts have even sunk inwards and the water from the rain accumulated on top... So basically we were playing in a shallow pool of water at some points. Haha.

My doctor is not going to like me. I aggravated the foot injury I got many months ago at Rong En's party at his house... I think it's recurred. Now it hurts to apply pressure on the front of my left foot... Oh well. That's what you get when you play barefoot I guess.

But it was fun! Suddenly I don't feel any strain/stitch/whatever when I run... Just the exhilaration of sprinting at top speed... Great stuff. That's why my calf muscles are dead now... Hahaha.

I'm going to post the "Gears Of War" theme song and locust battle song at my mediaplayer... Take a listen, I think they're real nice orchestral tracks... I'm becoming a real fanatic... Greatest game I've ever played, in my opinion.

One month to go to NS! Haha.
