i'm sin ... wrong, i'm run~~ning in the rain

2 consecutive fast food meals frm last nite's dinner @ carl's with wayne, n dis morning's mac with mum n sis. to burn away those extra, sinful calories, i went jogging. haha, for those that noe be enuff, i'd been jogging quite frequently these days, but today, was jus exceptional.

it was roughly 1445 when dark clouds gathered, n as i dint exercise the plan to jog in the morning, i decided it's time for me to put on my shoes n go for a routine jog of 4.5k (approx). starting time: 1455

so ... expectedly, it rained. heavily. with numerous lightning. it started when i reached the final stretch, with onli 3 more bus stops to go (dat's how i usually motivate myself to continue by counting the number of stops left). i was soaked n chilled, n probably carrying another 1-2kg of water with me. i was tasting salt. i continued.

my ache below the lungs was gone. perhaps i wasnt concentrating on the pain, but to complete the course asap. i ran, awkwardly. my shoes were soaked with water, n it jus happened to feel as tho i was running in puddles.

relieved, i finally reached home. i took off my top, n quickly grab my clothes, n took a hot shower. the time after shower: 1535.

40min frm warming up to finishing my shower, it cud be my best running time ard the same course, ever.

lols, i tink those on top were jus, crap. wad i want to say is, dat's life sometimes. often we were beaten, bored n dulled by unchallenging situations. we've gotten so used to the same course dat we dun feel a thing while carrying it out. den, 1 fine day, some obstacles set in. in order to complete the same old course, u motivate, improve n excel.

at times, obstacles r needed to push us to our limits, n to break them as we go the extra mile. challenges in life change u for the better as u confront n overcome them. so, it's the same old ting, dun be too down hearted following a setback, it's simply another chance for u to learn, to try, n try agn, till u get it right. u nv noe jus wad u're capable off.

smile ppl!
