YEEESSS!! I'm back

.. to pounding the pavement and i didnt trip or fall or anything hehehe :)

I was a little anxious (even scared actually) when i was pulling on my socks this morning.. what if i couldnt finish my usual loop? what if my knees suddenly buckled or worse, what if i sprained my ankles? or if i'm suddenly lightheaded and terpukang tepi track?

Ridiculous thoughts it may be to some but to me (yang dah tersangat la lama tak buat exercise langsung) the concerns were pretty real. especially because i always seem to be fighting myself and setting personal limits yang ntah pape.. like any seasoned golfer who's spurred on by his own handicap, my greatest adversary has always been me, myself & i.

Apa salahnya jalan je kan kalau dah takut sangat? bukannya apapun i'm just an old fart and nobody gives a rats ass anyway... but nooooooooooo, i just wouldnt let me!!!! macam cari pasal je kan... but i cant help it and i also know myself too damn well.

So, i started out very slow & springy making sure i landed on the balls of my feet and not thumping along like a granny elephant. thank god i was back to my rhythm before long and halfway thru i slowly realised that i really might just make it after all!! breathing ok, knees ok, ankles ok and i wasnt cramping anywhere... i was ecstatic!!

I'm not athletic or sporty in any way so little achievements like this is enough to make me mighty happy :)

I finished my 4k run in about 30-33 mins.. my dress watch (the one on loan from AI) wasnt really all that precise. which reminds me, abe bila nak beli jam sport kite ek? its meaningless la if i got it for myself.. nak abe yang belikan so that i can feel you're with me when i run ;)

(Ooooh i'm so going to ache tomorrow..but its good, its all good lol)
