.::z. 8/8.: the memory of running

the memory of running

Monday, November 12, 2007

i got into an accident last week. fell off my bike. i am grateful to aeiziyan for picking me up from the accident scene, driving me to the clinic, waiting till i was done with the doctor, buying some much needed bandages and tape, and then driving me home and making sure i'm up the lift. thanks bro. thanks heaps.

well the wound is drying up pretty well. i've been spinning with q the past week, i know i know, i should be resting the leg. i guess i'm just very worried i'd lose my stamina if i stop any form or cardio. spinning doesnt really move the feet much, its basically stationary, only the knees move. the marathon's only 3 weeks away and just before the accident i was picking up speed, running 12km in under an hour for 3 days in a row, and was about to go for my 30k run. and now this. how depressing.

yesterday's sunday times guide to surviving the marathon writes "time to reduce training". sigh. ok that's it. i think i'm ready to run again. tomorrow i'm gonna hit the treadmill and do a trial run. start off slowly and gradually increase the distance if the feet allows. if nothing starts to ooze out or break into pieces, i'll do my 30k by end of this week and then start to taper off the distance till race day.

while at the topic, i took part in a couple of runs since the last update. the pictures are out.

R: AHM 21k, L: Real Run 15k

Aaah. the memory of running. which is, incidentally, a book that drey bought for me last year, and which i've yet to finish reading. in due time, of course. i've been reading other books lately, of which the titles i'm not comfortable in stating here, lest i'll be stoned to death. but a hint: here's something that i saw on a website which got me into stitches. "atheism: a non-prophet organisation".

hilarious!
