i feel fresh!

my mum commented that i look fat this afternoon. and yea, i dragged my ass out for a run in the evening.

an easy jog felt good. it always reminds me of my sec 1 days when running was part of my everyday life. i had covered miles in mac ritchie before, racing against the stop-watch so i can reach the finishing point before all other team-mates. it felt really good initally, i never felt so healthy before and i enjoyed all the company from my team-mates. but i got really sick of all the competitions going on after a while.

i believe running best reflects the competitive nature in all of us; for we are all humans. the first people that roamed the earth got to run for survival. later, people raced naked in the first olympics for crowns made of grass. its interesting how running has evolved. now, you go to the park and you see old people running very slowly with their arms drawing circles in the air. go to mac-ritchie and you see crazy young people racing against themselves.

seriously, i used to love running. i loved the feeling of breathing hard for air. its the only time i dont take the atmosphere around us for granted. i feel alive when i breathe. but i lost running partly due to a lousy trainer. wong-dog was a really lousy coach.

i kinda think i hate him sometimes. but its my life, i am going to start running and swimming again. healthy lifestyle. =)
