Burn

Abe's leaving tonite but he was still out with the birds at dawn to pace the greens. he's a golf nut, enuff said.

I took the oppurtunity to hit the pavement after dropping AH off at the UiTM sports centre. she's starting tennis lessons with her friend mly, which is a good thing because i've always wanted her to move that butt of hers a lil bit more but unfortunately i'll have to miss my fav sunday morning aerobics at the dataran!!!!!

Problem is, the aerobics is scheduled at 7.30 am (which is almost never ever on time but still) and AH's tennis session starts at 8.00 am so theres somewhat of a clash here. unless and until i can come up with some other suitable arrangement, nampak gaya tak beraerobik la den!!

Anyway, i made my way to the tasik yet again (yes i like repetition and am totally devoid of creativity).

After a rather long warm-up (maklum la dah lama tak pekena), i started out counter clockwise to the recomended direction. hajat hati tu nak buat 2 big loops which would roughly amount to 8 km but i sure was fooled by the weather.

There i was huffing & puffing into my 2nd lap when it started to drizzle. huh? i was more than a little surprised..... isnt that the sun thats shining ever so brightly? ni hujan apa lak ni ? (duh, hujan panas la makcik hehehe but i digress). i kept on running while my mind was whirring with options - do i stop, do i continue as planned, do i detour - after all it could turn out to be a false alarm but almost instantly, mendung la pulak. hey i wasnt scared of a little rain tapi i started thinking about AH. she was supposed to finish by 10- 10.30 but surely the rain would affect the timing.

So hendak tak nak kena la buat u turn and i consoled myself 6 km pun jadi laa pada tak buat langsung kan. chicken feed for serious runners tapi for a makcik runner-wannabe-yang-dah-lama-tak-lari like me it was quite an achievement la, semput-semput pun heheh. nak jadi cerita elok into the last 500m or so, the sun shone brightly once again and the drizzle stopped completely.

It went away as suddenly as it came.. and left me tercengang-cengang, undecided on what to do next. since 'malas' pun dah mula timbul i opted for a long cooling down session until it was time to pick up AH.

All in all it was a good start :)

Now if i can only keep the momentum going.
