A Happy Post!
Today has been e last word in fatigue for me. But exhaustion aside, today has been a rather interesting day, running anecdotes aplenty, some as recent as today whilst others belonged to e nt so distant past in which some of it rose to e fore today. Woke up at 345, had bkf at 4am, watched my tv show frm 415 till 515 am. tokked to SS online till 7 plus, hit e showers, headed for my 9am lect, was off at 11am, headed to Ikea then went for tuition with Lovely n as tt lovely ger did none of her hw, tuition stretched till 3 hrs n both tchr n student were half dead by 6 pm. tt wretched bus made me wait for half an hr, was gritting my teeth thr'out as e rest of e buses at e bus stop had all already come twice or thrice...Lugged tt heavy Ikea shopping bag back hm, deposited it n hurriedly changed into running clothes n shoes, hoping to beat dusk n grab twilight by e neck for my run...but as e saying goes, time n tide waits for no man...It was dark by e time i headed out..
Anyway, tis shud be abt runnig anecdotes. Started off strong but i was disturbed by e sounds of intense, heavy footsteps following right behind me. Turned my head round in annoyance n it turned out to be e uncle whom i had passed whilst he was jogging at a leisurely pace....tok abt manly pride! Tis jus reminds me of those days when we had our Napfa 2.4km run n e 7 guys i had in my class cud nt run if their lives depended on it. They were all of skeletal frame so i wun say they waddled, rather they swaggered their way thr, apparently fancying themselves some male model on e Milan runway. But e moment i overtook them, they'll gather all their lost wits n remnants of bruised egos n make a frantic effort to pick up their speed n overtake me. Well, they certainly succeeded in tat particular endeavour, albeit onli for a few mins b4 they'll lose their breath n huff n puff their way thr as they gradually trail behind me, haha...so tt uncle reminded me of those loserish guys but at least tis uncle has more substance than them..
Went to my usual running spot n there were families strolling ard, lovers walking hand in hand, little imps runnign ard, haha..but e ultimate wud be tis roly poly of a ten yr old..i was halfway thr my run n tis little fatty came cycling along, hollering tt he's Jackie Wu n welcomed us all to his new Tv show...i seriously cracked up when i heard tt, haz...din noe entertainment was provided n jus when i needed it too! Frightened off 2 frisky little dogs when i came running up behind them n they yelped n scattered ard n i bet they muz hv taken their revenge on me by passing e msg to their other fellow doggie pals cuz.....well, it's rather embarrassing to say tis, esp when i rem wad Na said abt me, abt all kinds of silly, ridiculous things happening to me, e water cooler legacy being e most unforgettable one. Well, i'm was e JOKE of A12 back in Hwachong so figured tt derogatory label ain't gonna diminish with e maturing of age. shucks..Yeah, okie, back to e doggie tale..I finished my run, a most satisfying ending as i sprinted my way to e endpt, felt like my shoes were on fire n my heels burning...then i proceeded to stretch my calves n as i had to balance on one feet n being an acknowledged oaf with zero balancing ability, i held onto e lampost n proceeded to do my stuff.
So there i was, innocently minding my own business n concentrating on getting my muscles stretched to e fullest when tis woman came up with 3 dogs, all of diff breeds n various sizes n they seemed pretty frenly enuff so i even smiled at those doggies. N then e smallest of e lot trottered up to e lampost i was clutching on to with one leg rased in e air n e other rooted to e ground n wad do u hv?? That little idiot actually lifted its frisky little leg n proceeded to do its business there!! Right at e same lampost as me!! N it certainly din help tt i was in a similar position as tt sinful fella! Grrrhhh.....i gave up all attempts at muscle stretching,turned my face away n slipped away as discreetly as i cud in case e other 2 bigger fellas decided to take after their little bro n tt wud been a glorious sight indeed n i had no doubt glorious smells too.. wished i cud stalk off like an offended feline but oh well..
Was reading Runners World online tis morn n read e article abt hw all runners hv gt tt competitive streak in them. I figured tis was pretty true cuz unless u're jus a jogger n nt a runner n i pretty much proved tis theory today. There were 3 other female joggers, one was plump, e other extremely tall n muscular whilst e third one was wearing an army shirt n looked pretty much like a fitness fanatic. I was running at a pretty comfortable pace n when their running figures loomed up ahead of me, jus felt tis surge to overtake them, haha...n yeah, i did n managed to maintain tt pace. Been a long time since i did a stiff run in e outdoors n tis one was quite a toughie but it felt incredibly gd, much better than on e Monz. Cool, nite breeze n e accompaniment of e stars, comical kids n well...pesky dogs...sorta spiced up e run for me.
Jus gt ticked off by Mum for being crazed enuff to go off for a run when i had such an exhausting day oredi. Running wun be on e agenda tt often soon, i need to hit e lib, print my notes, contribute to e forum, chip in for grp projs n basically ged my stuff tog pretty soon. Sch sem's getting into full swing soon but i figured i may onli ged on e dreary mill of sch work after CNY, can't help it, e festive bug has bitten me. Onli chomped on bread e whole day, tummy's growling, off to grab a bite..ta!
