my jog.

just went jogging. decided tt i havent been exercising and i could use the time to think too. but i havent jogged for a really long time. close to a yr i think. i'm seriously not into jogging. no stamina. probably tts why i was really surprised i could sustain thru the long route i chose to run ALONE today. i like this route, cos u cant cut it short once u decide to run it. meaning even if u felt like stopping, u have to walk the remaining of the route. makes u feel like a total loser. haha. but anw. i usually always give up halfway thru that route, even tho i run wif someone else. no sense of ego at all la, give up when there's someone running strong beside you.

but today i was really determined to finish it. i wanted to. and really, it din feel all that bad as it used to. my stamina couldnt have improved tho, esp since i havent been exercising. maybe i'll believe you if you tell me late nights can improve one's stamina. haha.

the trick is actually to start slow. reallysloowww. and build it up from there. found that i ran much faster toward the end without even realising it. until i actually overtook this really big hulky guy in a yellow SAF singlet. imagine the satisfaction. haha. but then after tt, he sprinted after me n all the way. couldnt catch up. was telling myself DUN LOSE FOCUS DUN LOSE FOCUS. if not wun b able to sustain till i got home. n i'm glad i din cos later i even managed to sprint the last 200 metres or so. whooohoo.

actually i felt like dying when i sprinted the last 200 metres. felt really thirsty. maybe like.. i din drink water the whole day? had fruits tho. heh. so looks like jogging also gotta prep eh. anw guess what. it doesnt feel as bad as i thot once it was over. in fact u feel goooood.

come to think of it, many things in life are like running a long distance course. start slow, buildup, finish with a high. or not? i still rmb that during 2.4s, some ppl sprint n stop n sprint n stop, and they still do get the same end result - the same timing. but i guess the process must have been more painful for them. it jus requires more determination to go on once you've stopped. not to mention ur muscles ache more.

haha. i just realised i've drawn a very close parallel to life with this. just think about it.

and for now, i've decided to go jogging every other day. or maybe not jus jogging. but other exercises too. lets see if i can keep to my resolution.

AN AFTERNOTE: i just had claypot chicken rice for dinner (my fav homecooked dish - i always go for thirds) and the sweetest softest tapioca for dessert! bleah. think i jus undid all the hard work put into running.
