a 21km worth of high

u know how i always complained bout being envious of ppl having running companions.. well today i just ran 2 -3hours of 21 km with the company of almost 50,000 boys n men! now who's complaining?

haa. maybe except for the sweaty bodies brushing against my arms at times, and the long wait @ the starting point to even start a jogging pace after flag off (the crowd was unbelievable!).. yup the Army Half Marathon..a bloody 21km.
it was a pretty good experience... n a damn good feeling after.

route was alright.. my first time running @ the esplanade area though. down raffles quay.. up sheares bridge.. down east coast.. tarik.. across marina barrage (it's apparently the first run across it!) n back to padang. din know that was a hell 21km.
the furthest i ever ran was 15k in 2003 back in KL.. man.

oh yea. i din think i would run with my injury but chiong anyway. pain came after 3 km! tahan.. tried not to exert too much..controlled the impact so it wouldn' give way. thank gosh i managed to finish it!

btw darn, i haven see SO MANY guys running before in my entire life.. my left n right, front n back.. lotsa 'ah bin ger' clanned in their ARMY, NAVY, AFS etc P.T attire.. massive clans of them seriously. n i bet they could have set the record for the highest number of ppl wearing the 1 Brooks model running shoes in a single run. lol. ya u know which one im talking about.

besides the young men.. there were also the 'old' soldiers with their never-say-die spirit! men in late 40s n 50s still running n looking good! never would have imagined so many ppl who choose to pay 50 bucks, wake up @ 5am on a sunday n get squeezy with 60,000 ppl just to RUN.
lol. then again. most of the SAF guys din have much of a choice. ha.

oh yes. kinda realised i lost a lot of phone contacts bcos of some stupid misunderstanding. so i have to start getting back ppl's numbers again. sigh. it's really pretty sad.

alright time for a good dinner treat for all that sweat!

stupid foot

damn. down on luck these days.
first. injured again. old injury though. pulled the muscle @ my foot today while training. super sad now. cos i don't think it will heal fully by sunday, so i guess i might have to skip the AHM. sigh. was gonna be my first time, and was actually looking forward to it. =(
dun even wanna mention the 48bucks i paid for it. n now i won't even get to experience it. wth.

then. my phone's down. quite screwed up, cdnt receive msges n calls at times recently. super moody la. so sent for servicing, only getting it back on sunday. hafta use an old phone for the moment. have a feeling it wdn't be much a diff after servicing lor.

and..haven been doing too well these days too. things r happening and i can't seem to deal with them the right way.. man. this stuff gotta get better soon.

but on the bright side.. there r a few nice things that make everything seem better. although sometimes i have to try not to think about it, as if it would be a curse if i do. im afraid the nice things might just start turning bad. sigh. am i pessimist or what.

hiroyuki omg.

aw. long time since the last post. been pretty alright. bz with work, training, chilling n more. slowly getting fitness back after the LOOOOOONG flu thing. made some fun friends @ work, learnt a hell lot of sheet (a lotta useless but interesting stuff.) scandalous stuff too. ha.
looking forward to trip to thailand. wanna see the children. i miss them loads. i just wanna hug them now. =)

olympics been quite exciting. (the spore table tennis match was just part of it..though im really proud of them.)
real cool stuff's watching the men's gymnastics! haa. super amazing sheet going on man. who says gymnastics' for sissies. check out the body! i was so glued to the tv esp. when this japanese hottie's on, Hiroyuki. alrite! (i wasn't even into jap guys before!)

felt the 'ouch' when he fell frm the ring. such a pity. but he still looked cool even when he fell. isn't that amazing! lol.
week's ending again. man, time totally just blows past. crazy man.

with metta.
