100 Days of Workout and then some ;)

It's been awhile since I wrote anything here... Felt like forever!
Ran 22km in about 2:30hours on 10th of June and all my joints were screaming murder!!
So I decided to take 2 weeks off from running. The rest of the workouts slowed down too.

Went to the gym randomly on 14th of June and it was Feizal's first day back after his EuroTrip!
Looking nicely tan with florescent dri-fit top to match his florescent shoes, it was just a waste to not celebrate with a run! How I miss running.
So that day, it was Hew, Feizal and I doing a slow short run. In pain half the time but was kinda worth it. Miss running with the guys.

Next was 22nd of June with Hiap Wei. LOL. This day was the REAL 100th Day celebration!
We were both stuck in the stupid Sprint highway jam, I was 20mins behind his car. He got to RLC and satisfied his hunger while waiting for me. I finally got there... and workout seemed like the last thing we wanted to do. The topic of this blog's 100th post came up! LOL. So we drank Sake to that. Cold. Then we did Spartacus 2.1.3... whatever that was, and felt good. Ended with some abs workout (that left some kind of sore lasting for the next few days!)

23rd of June, in the midst of making coffee break + hair cut plans with Kuan and lunch with Clement, Hiap Wei suggested going Rock-Climbing! Spontaneously, I said Ok and invited Kuan and Clement along. Everything went great! We met Hiap Wei at RLC, and we all went Rock-Climbing (or rather, Stone-climbing, according to Kuan! haha).

24th of June - Today, Hiap Wei texted Hew and I for a slow short run at 6:40pm. Feeling better with the knee and ankle, on top of missing running with the guys, of course it was a YES!!! So it was Hiap Wei, Hew, Feizal, Vick, KS and I ...running a supposedly slow short run! We started off clockwise around the lake, did the usual climb over the fence gig, up Carcosa, back into Lake Gardens, continued clockwise passing the start point and headed towards the Deer Park. Picked up Yee Ling along the way and she was sporting enough to join us! Ran with Hew and Feizal at a consistent speed up the Deer Park to the top while being freaked out by a sudden shriek by one of the goats! We had two choices at the top: 1) Continue down towards the National Mosque passing Methodist Girls' School (MGS) or 2) Head back to RLC. Of course, we chose the longer route! haha! My knees started acting up as I ran down the hill, so had to walk. Annoying. Anyway, caught up with the guys and continued on to Jalan Cenderasari (sp? lol). Once back into Lake Gardens, Hew suggested running another round around the lake and up Carcosa! LOL... talk about the effects of ENDORPHIN! As we ran down the slope, reaching the Deer Park hill junction, I suggested going up Deer Park again and head back to RLC and forget running another round and up Carcosa. 
1) Didn't wanna push it. 2) Was getting too dark. 
We took 55:33mins for that run. Absolutely missed that!!

Back at the gym, Hiap Wei, Feizal, Hew, Vick and I did one set of Spartacus 3.0:
Started with half of Spartacus 1.0:
- Goblet Squat with 20lbs (20 reps)
- Mountain Climber (40 reps in total)
- Single Arm Dumbbell Swing with 15lbs (40 reps in total)
- T-Pushup with 10lbs (20 reps in total)
- Split Jumps
Next, half of Spartacus 2.0:
- Dumbbell Chop with 10lbs (40 reps in total)
- Hamstring Alternate Side Tap with 10lbs (40 reps in total)
- Walkup from Plank to PushUp Position (40 reps in total)
- Dumbbell Row with 10lbs (20 reps)

Feizal left soon after and Mark arrived just as we were finishing up the last workout.
So Hiap Wei set up 5 Ab Stations (we did one set):
- Decline Ab Crunch (50 reps)
- Seated Leg Tuck (50 reps)
- Cable Crunch @ 15 (20 reps)
- Ab Roll Out (20 reps)
- Slight Incline Leg Raise (20 reps)

Awesome times working out with the guys!
-End-
