a lost love found.

I am someone of great inertia and proscrastinate alot. Yet yesterday i just felt like staying back in school today to run. And thank God, the weather was perfect for a lovely jog @ the school track :D

When i stepped on the track, the feeling was simply amazing. I realised how much i missed running in a team. Snippets of nj memories on the track also came flooding back.. like the morning jogs with canoeing gals, running with mr yong to achieve my 2.4 personal best, running up slopes with cross country gals, and even pe lessons ..like teck kuan cheering me on. It was a nice, warm feeling that i get only from jogging in a school environment with atheletes training at the track as well.

As i ran, i am also reminded of Biomechanics. Learning about how much force is exerted on our joints during exercise made me a little kiasi ..or shld i say, more aware of the importance of resting the joints? It made the daily runs in the past seem incredible and those uncles running marathons seem like energiser bunnies with super joints.

Hopefully when i degenerate into a slob in the near future, i will be reminded of this feeling and head for a rejuvenating jog at the track.

Pao ba, hai zi.
