A day before the wedding
It's Darius' wedding tml....mighty looking fwd to it. I lurve the Swissotel, attended Regine's wedding there a few wks ago n it was awesome. Plus e fact tt it holds a special meaning to my heart as well. The best thing wud be tt i can get together with Pam n gang since i cudn't meet them at Morton's last Monday due to my knee pain. That brings me to yet another topic. Standchart.
Well, i din run the full fledged marathon this yr. Felt a tad bit regretful abt tt but I noe tt u gotta respect the marathon n with my busy work schedule, there was just no way i cud squeeze in those intensive training sessions without over burning myself. Tot the half shud be relatively easy given hw it had always been my fave distance to run. I din much like running 10km cuz the short distance just means tt i gotta run harder n the 42 is just a major test of the human endurance, sthg that I wasn't prepared for. The first 5km was the hardest, i cudn't believe it when i saw the sign 2km cuz it felt as if it had already been 5km. Have nt been running at all, save for the 5km i squeezed in on e treadmill during my gym sessions. Even tt was not easy. Running knows when u've cheated on it. I realized it myself whilst I was pounding the asphalt with thousands other runners, wondering how on earth i ever tot this was easy.
Ha! I finished it in 2hrs 34mins, quite a bit longer den my previous time of 2hrs 10 but i was satisfied.
Come to think abt it, i think this is the first n only run I've taken part in this yr! Gosh...I miss running, i wish i cud run like i used to. I miss hw running cud take my mind off my troubles, worries and insecurities. I felt so healthy, happy and satisfied back den. Not tt i'm nt happy now, just that my work has this uncanny ability to squirm its way into my thoughts during the day and my dreams during the nite. Hafta admit tt it's getting a bit tiring. I just hope that it's cuz of the yr end that i've been slackening abit n tt i'll climb right bk on with renewed gusto next yr.
It's coming to the end of the yr n a time for reflections, nostalgia and gaining new perspectives. 2008 has been a yr of so much changes for me. I feel like an adult for the first time, actually. Perhaps, cuz since young, the academic environment i've been has always been safe and sheltered, much similar to the first job i had too. I feel like i've finally entered full fledged adulthood n it is liberating but scary at the same time. I relooked the resolutions i made at the beginning of the yr. Some i've failed miserably, others nt exactly spectacular successess but i figured i've fared pretty ok in those aspects too. That's the fun thing abt making resolutions. N i think i'm gonna make more specific, precise resolutions for next yr, things that are more measurable n achievable as well.
On not exactly an entirely different note, I wish i can cook. All those shows I've been watching on Travel & Living channel, like Nigella's Christmas Kitchen, Take Home Chef, Jamie Oliver's Kitchen has gotten me all envious n full of admiration for those wonderful ppl who turn plain ingredients into tasty morsels. ok, mebbi tt can be another new yr resolution but i doubt i'll attain that.
Happy holidays...= )
