Run… And Much More

Officially did my 2nd run for 2009. But this time it was only 10 km. So what is 10 km compared to 30 km I did last month, aye? Well, actually it was stressful. It was. My goal today was to be in the Top 100 finisher or finished within the qualifying time. So stressss !

To start of the day, I woke up slightly past the time I set on my cellphone. Gosh, I slept like dead people. Knowing how panic I could be, so yea, I was panic. Off the house, picked PS and reached Dataran Merdeka just nice before flag off. Flag off at 7.30 am and as I expected, participants started with faster pace from the beginning. Stressssssssss ! Since we decided to set own personal record, we kind of running separately. Hee.

While running, I counted how many participants under C category (my category) overtook me. Not sure why I did that. So much of love for numbers maybe. Hahaa ! Or maybe I just didn’t want to be one of them late finishers. Keep telling myself not to get out of the flock because it would be very demotivating to run by myself. Followed back some 30 km route the other day; felt so dejavu ! Felt just like yesterday when me, Jian and Lena enjoying ourselves running on this very route. Heehee. Cramped my stomach during water-station break. How can I cramp my stomach while I was drinking? Damn it was super painful.

For the 1st time, I didn’t enjoy listening to music while running and truth is I didn’t even know what were the songs I listened to. My mind was so occupied by motivating myself to run faster. Faster and faster. There was one time I sprinted down the hill, and my HRM showed 105%, so I slowed down. I know it will take a toll on my knees later, and on top of that I started to see black spots already. My aim was to finish this run safe and sound so couldn’t afford to be fainted. Hahaa ! Few days before the run, I checked the route over and over and over again. Good thing was, when I was running, I remembered the landmark on each route, so basically I knew how far more I had to run. Yeah, that helped me a bit. The moment I ran on the route we took to reach Dataran Merdeka this morning, I knew I had to run faster. Else I would disappoint with myself. Big time. Reaching this morning starting point, I looked around for the finishing line. Initially I couldn’t find it. The finishing line was located in the middle of the field. Sheshh ! I expected it would be the same with the flag off line. Anyways, my mission accomplished. Managed to be in the Top 100 and not to mention, my new personal 10 km record. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ! Not bad, uh?

Me-Jian-Pat-Anson @ KL City Day 10KM Run 2009

KL City Day 0.5-meter Jump. LOL !

And of course we camwhored. A lot ! Well, it was run and MUCH more indeed. And this one is taken by the pro.

Me at far right. Do I look like I'm doing BJam? =P

So…… well done my buddies. Strike off this run from the list. 3rd run is coming. Lena, we missed you in this run. We run again next month, OK? And congrats Anson for finishing before us. Not bad for first timer. Not bad at all. Congrats again.

OK, yours truly want to doze off. Later beautiful people.

Running. Again.

10 km tomorrow. It should be fine I guess. But personally I think 10 km is harder than 30 km. Why? Because in 30 km, most participants tend to run on average pace, so it is not too stressful for me. But of course except for those old timer runners; they will be sprinting from the beginning. I think for 10 km, participants will tend to run faster from the flag off, because it is just 10 km and the qualifying time is 1 hour plus or so. Hmmm…… OK, tonight I’ll bug my legs so that I can run like Bionic Woman tomorrow.

On a different note, next week I’ll be climbing Mount Kinabalu. I’ve been there once ages ago. I cannot remember how’s the feeling to be up there on the summit. I remember the coldness, just that. Unlike Mount Tahan, it is hot up there. Hmmm, is it because I reached the summit quite late? Heehee. Maybe. I’ll think of what to bring later. After my run.

OK, off to TC to see Mr. Puppy Eyes do some running and shoulder workouts. Laters.

Kill People Today !

I’m going to murder people today. Especially LRT people. *Sharping my knife* … How early more I have to come to the station to board the train? As early as 5 a.m? Hah? Hah? Hah? Someone is going to be brutally dead in my hand today !!!

And I also want to kill those people who like to talk in front of the escalator. Hello !!! People want to walk, OK? Talk less for one morning can die is it? Your tongue will rot, is it?

People talking so loud in the lift also I want to kill today !!! Noisy, okay???? Shut up already or I’ll make ya’ !

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !

Funny People Funny Thought

Funny thing when people thinks all human being is generic. Maybe. Yea, maybe human being generally are the same but somehow we are unique in our own way. Yes, we are different. If we are the same, thinking the same way, they will be no wars and distortions in this world. You think?

Funny that people like to rationalize their assumptions just to fit what they have believed. To fit what they have perceived. Can we blame? No. People’s justifications are always vary. For all we know, maybe they are just superficial. Merely on the surface. Can you imagine if people simply take on the surface information, decide to believe it and practise it? World will be in chaotic, isn’t it?

Mmmm…… I have a point. Really.

OK, just because we are similar by gender, doesn’t mean that we are sharing similar other traits too. Well, of course except for things that come by default. I’m not a TYPICAL girl next door who has a weak heart and fragile conscience, that I cannot differentiate what is real and what is not. Please o’ pretty please spare that thoughts. Because that kind of thought is something I cannot condone.

…

I thought I’m just common tonight. So much for being common, aye? Funny o’ funny !

What Tortures The Most?

Self control.

OK, these are things I should NOT to do when I’ve decided to rest and off gym……

#1. Watching Nigella Bites/Nigella Express show on Ch. 707.
#2. Read blogs that talk about cakes, cupcakes, cookies and etc… etc.
#3. Watching AFC channel

Those are enough to make me indulges in whatever I have in my mind. Yea, I have no self control. But it’s OK. Nigella cannot see me rotting in my living room. I won’t blush. Won’t blush.
