A Full Day of Workout...Literally

8th February 2015, saw me recording a history in my life.  The day spent and dedicated entirely for sports.

5.45 am:  We headed out of our home, tagging along two kids with us, Nicole and my friend's 11 year old boy, Vaxter.  Went straight to Penampang Stadium, where Penampang 10K Run, a marathon was supposed to take off at 6.30 am.  The take off, however, happened about 5 minutes late, forgivable.  The kids stayed at the stadium, with the organizers, each with their own tab to keep them occupied.  A couple of minutes to an hour, I guess, at 58th minutes, I reached the finishing line, a minute or two behind my friend.

7.40 am:  We ran to our car, which carefully parked in such a way it would not be possible to be double parked by others.  I stepped on the gas, ran at 120 km/h, tried my best to reach Kg. Malangang, Kiulu football field for a friendly football match with the host.  Reached the just in time, few minutes before 8.30 am.  Played almost full time, managed to win 6 - 1.  A big win, actually.


10.00 am:  Almost all of us headed to recreational spot at a camping site in the same area.  We had our lunch there, and a bit of splashing session in the river.  A sight or two on the passing rafts.
 

The only proof for Penampang 10K Run, the black tshirt
 
12.30 pm:  Reached home.

3.30 pm:  Went out again, to Likas Sports Complex, for a volleyball team selection, for Likas Church.  I think we managed to get drafted.  So greedy....

6.00 pm:  Off again to Yayasan Sabah Badminton, for 'a game or two' of badminton with our futsal friends.  

8.30 pm:  The end of my sporting day.  And the body started singing, the head began to ache.  All those activities robbed me my good appetite.  All I wanted to do was to hit the pillow and rest, but not until midnight when I finally able to beat the untimely insomnia and drifted off to sleep.

So, there you go.  My sports day.  I don't think I want to go the same feat again, though.  Once is enough, for now.
