Sunday morning came bright and sunny and there i was, staring at the familiar lake, hesitant and anxious. if anyone had the time or inclination to notice (which i doubt they did) i must have painted a rather pitiful picture, dare i try it out and run as i usually do, or just melenggang like a mak nenek going to the pasar ?!?
Of course i ran, albeit slowly, but once i felt the solid pavement at my feet and the cool wind against my face, i forgot all about my fear of terpukang at the track. once you get hooked on the endorphin rush, its hard to let go lol. of course when you get to my age you dont have the luxury of acting like a reckless moron anymore so kena la hati2, taking one 1km lap at a time. glad to report i made it through 4 laps, making it a total of 4km in 40 mins!!!! yay even if i've added 10 mins to my usual time but hey, at least i'm running again lol.
But i was still careful right after the run though. what if my happy happy joy joy mood was broken by a bout of light headedness? or what if my ticker went beserk on me? who was i going to turn to, heck who'd drive me home? tapi alhamdulillah, even by the end of the day all i was feeling was euphoria.... osso a little ache and pain here and there la. after all i'd been going about like a pregnant primadonna for a couple of weeks already hehehe!!
Even took the kids out to tgv for GUBRA. i need a whole post to talk about that i would think.
Till later.

That is me alright. But, make it, ehem, Bapak Datok, please.
RK, Have you ever try cycling ?
Jo, lenggang jgn tak lenggang lol!! yea, i've thought about cycling bcoz i'm a sucker for the 'wind against my face' thingy incldg bike bikes, tapi i cringe la everytime i think of malaysian drivers. terasa too vulnerable la plak esp dah tua2 ni!! guess i'll just hafta make do & cycle at the gym heheh.
Joggers high is something I look forward to in a run. Usually it hits you after 2 km. When it does, you don't feel like stopping. You feel like going forever until you legs can't carry you another yard.
Same thing goes with bicycling, Jokontan. Of course you may have to do something like 10km run before it hits you, making you feel good that you don't want to come home but keep cycling. I guess that's how Forest Gump must have felt.
Have you got that new red kebaya, ma'am?
dang... almost forgot about the reply, lol, lets blame it on the fading memory k ;)
so berg when do u manage to drag urself away from the puter long enough to run these days? bcoz from ur comment i can see that u've done some running urself. jgn berenti ler.
