It's Friday in about 8 minutes! :)
The training for the badminton doubles competition has really gotten into me. I am really quite enthusiastic about working towards the 28th Nov! I don't have to win. I just want to try my best.
My colleague, fellow PE teacher and ex-tennis coach told me something that inspired me to start jogging. He said that someone wise told him sometime ago that we train to be fit to play games, not play games to get fit. He also shared that when he jogs three to four times a week, his shots ( he plays badminton once a week too) are sharper, he moves faster, he makes fewer mistakes (he can smash up to 6 shots consecutively instead of the usual 3-4).
Today was our second training session @ CCK Sports Hall. It was an hour of mastering our shots. I was about to write more about our strengths and weaknesses when I stopped myself. Top Secret! At least until 28th Nov. We have yet to sign up since there is no early bird's offer. Moreover, we won't know what will happen to us before the day of the competition. :) We might just be training so hard that we get injured just before the competition, and there goes the $100 participation fees.
I have been doing some sort of exercise since last Thursday. Badminton on Thursday, Gym on Friday, Yoga on Saturday, Badminton on Sunday, Tennis on Monday, Rest on Tuesday, Badminton yesterday and 2 sessions of badminton today. Once with my partner, and the other with the sayoni usuals + 2 new challengers. :)
The best way to build the stamina is through jogging. That will also help to drop a kilo or two. Being slightly lighter will help me to be more agile and also move faster on court.
Jogging I will be tomorrow! (today) More updates soon!
