Hitting the brakes.

It seems I've hit a mental block as of late. Inspiration for impromptu prose no longer comes easy; my motivation, my drive also seems to have decided I can go it alone. But well. On to the more pertinent issues.

Training is hitting a constant; due to NAPFA tests looming, I haven't dared to push the limits during my rides. Result? Improvement and recovery to full fitness have doubtless come to a standstill. I still can't sprint for nuts and my overall tempo is still slightly on the dismal side. But on the other hand, flexibility's improving. Lower back doesn't hurt as much on my 40-km rides now, and mosta the time the pain is just another stimulant for me to start sprinting anyway [sprinting outta the saddle is akin to a good vertebra stretch]. Will resume intensity training this weekend though...I really can't bear to mosey around like a slowpoke anymore. Boring crap.

It is laughable, though, that my knee injury has of late been the butt of several rather quirky jokes, or attempts at jokes. The latest, and weirdest one, went something like this:

David: *straps on knee support in class. Geog teacher drones on in background*

JeR: *looks at offending knee with nonplussed expression* What the f*** you doing?

David: Err...that's a knee support? It's kinda like, for injuries?

JeR: *contemplates the sheer gravity of the previous statement*

JeR: Are you a jeanhui?

David: .............................................

Last I checked, jeanhui was a person's name. -.- That means it's used as a noun, but it appears that JeR has, in this case, managed to transform this into a phrase of action, or a verb [is it verb?] Well, well.

Note: Mine's a wear-and-tear thing with regard to the kneecap itself. Jeanhui's 'un is something to do with the tendons, if I'm not wrong. That bust-up will heal. Mine won't. Reality check.

Further note: In case you haven't figured this out yet, I'm bored. That;s why this post doesn;t seem to have any concrete direction whatsoever. But hell. Next time, I'll be publishing my thesis on Lim Dao Yi. So stay tuned. I guarantee a pretty much entertaining read. =)
