I'm back, and it feels good. My days without runs must end or my attempt for upcoming events will end up crying (deep down inside la not out loud by the roadside...giler kentang!). I've managed to get a very strong reason to start pounding back on the tarmac. Trikidz. Yep, after my daughter decided to do a comeback, I've decided that she would be a great training buddy. Long school break and she has all the rest time & carbo time she wants. Splendid!
After Kiara trip last Sunday, I was spending my Monday as usual...honeymooning. Not actually, it was more like scheduling for runs. With some buddies keyed up for a great 2010 running year, we had the ball rolling with some running topics. Macam biasa, shopping was the most talk about. Hahaha!
Tuesday, my anxiety to be back home on time for my initial attempt fell short due to slow traffic flow from a late evening shower down in Klang Valley. Aku redha. At least it provided an awesome ambient for an early slumber party. Mantap.
Wednesday, I had to take a rain cheque from a futsal game & rushed back home for a second attempt. Yasmin & Amir on their bikes & I am slowly making way aerobicly. They ditched the bikes after covering about 2.5km. Yasmin ran pulak this time with me attempting her first 1km route. It's the usual loop around our neighbourhood. Of course for her first time would be tough. Run & walk. We were chatting & she didn't give up. Great! With some hype & some enthusiasms left in me, I battered the remaining minutes before azan clocking 5km. Original menu was supposed to be 8km. Janji ada. I heartened Yasmin for a repeat the following day & she agreed.
Thursday, dark clouds hovering over Cheras sky promising for a wild & wet evening. Fortunately it was a pass by, enough to lower the temperature for another shot. We were running the same route but skipped the cycle part. Perhaps Yasmin have to get some milage on those legs & some cardio workout before any brick. Amir tagged along & their laughter & joking around tire them off prematurely. So I decided to squeeze some mini fartlek to give a different tempo to it. At least they managed to run all the way completing 1 loop. Second time for Yasmin. Thumbs up! I rushed away with a bit more fartlek for myself. The post run feeling was satisfying. It was a great moment for a proper stretching, core & of course a bit of muhasabah diri.
I really missed those days, a year ago, ending my weekday runs at Lake Garden with kaum. Stretching & chat away under the blink of neon lights as joggers dispersed to conclude another day of work & workout.
