Sunday morning up with the lark
I think i'll take a walk in the park
Hey hey hey its a beautiful day!!!
Heheh... i think i'm showing my age here bcos no one out of my age bracket would know this lil' oldie :)
(T-shirt still damp & smelly... even the tomcat's staying far away lol)
Yup beautiful sunday indeed bcos despite my fear of terpukang tepi jalan I DID IT!!! hehehe.. this makcik managed to finish her 10K up and running. sure, it was tough going at times especially around km 7... for a minute there i thought i was going to pancit for sure. but thank god after cresting the hill alongside the MB's residence (section 6 - section 7 boundary) i had my 2nd wind and it was just peachy after that. well my kinda peachy laa, still slow but feeling good. and thats actually what running is about for me; pushing myself that little bit more but never hard enough to lose the joy that running gives me... that freedom of body and spirit :)
Tapi tahun ni ada slow skit laa... last year i did it in 55 mins, this year around 65 mins. ramai betul kenyans tahun ni sampai ramai yang merungut, habis diorang sapu semua. not that it has much to do with back-of-the-packs like me. its never about speed with me, its more of settling into a consistent pace and maintaining it to the end.
I did get a medal out of the 40 alotted for category D (they were still holding a handful when they handed mine over so not too bad la i suppose heheh) but the bonus for me was..... this time i had not only my no. 2 & no. 3 kid waiting to greet me at the finishing line but the hubby as well!!! wah thats almost like winning the lottery la. kebetulan cek abe tak main golf so first time dia tenguk yours truly huffing n puffing to the finish, basah kuyup with sweat and water from the sponges; prove enough that i'm pretty serious about what i'm doing (maybe now he wont jump so much when he sees how much HE's paying for the shoes hehehe).
(Golfman with a low 5... avoided a hug sebab me busuk heheh)
But that was just the tip of the iceberg because it turned out to be quite a loooong day for me. more of that later :)

You're 52 and still running ??! Wow - my hats off to you. I used to sprint as a err..young person, but never got to do long distance. By 200 meter dah pancit!
Thanks for the wonderful insight in my blog.
:-)
MA - i certainly hope i'll still be running (albeit senget2 la kot hehe) when i hit 52 in 6 yrs nanti :) and about my 2 cents, ur very welcome. insyallah everything will turn out alright.
10k?...and it's in a race? Phew... tabik spring to you. Congrats!
OS - Tq Tq Tq ur very kind :) tp to set the record straight, i'm just a wannabe runner and mostly a 'back-of-the-pack'er je hehe.
thx for dropping by... n selamat menyambut ramadhan almubarak to ALL :)
