i wanted to make it a routine.. thanks to pajil actually, mn nada bdgn jog ani nda mnjadi nyamu ;p i asked her to be my "trainer" tpi ia suruh aku yg blari ddpan?? hahaha. her way to train kali :p but then, yeah.. somehow "her presence" motivated me, maybe the fact she is (or potentially is;p) a good runner. mengumpat!! -no, not really. im telling her what i write here. BEACE!! :)
so.. i started fast, and.. 2 minit-maybe less- lpas atu angih2 tia!! i made a signal (cutting throat.hahah) to pajil. i thot it was exhausting.. hard to catch my breath.. but.. i ran anyway.. i continued..
ran.. ran.. and then, somehow.. i saw "our-last-time-finishing-line" ; oh well, we have this place that we set as the finishing line, but we are planning to beat that line in every new run..
when i saw the finishing line, i suddenly thot.. "wow.. this actually didnt take long" - trust me, last time felt much longer and farther.. and so, i ran.. tired, out of breath but i ran.. or rather, jogged..
there i was, reaching the finishing line.. i turned back again- still running, by that time, i caught my breath alright and and.. i felt okay, everything felt alright.. like, like, i found the correct pace.. like i just started the run.. or maybe even better than when i started the run.. i didnt even know where to stop.. i thot i was okay.. the run was good..
i ran.. i ran.. not even knowing where or when to stop.. not thinking, not feeling anything but the wind on my face.. i felt the wind on my face.. and it felt amazing.. a good feeling, like happiness was there somewhere along the wind on my face..
but yeah, minutes after that i MANAGED to lose that awesome feeling and felt the tiredness again, out of breath again.. i.. sprinted for seconds.. and finally reached my finishing line.. gotta beat that line next time!!!
im thinking now.. what was i thinking while running this morning? first paces, first phase of running i was thinking to stop.. thinking if this can just end quickly.. feeling the pain, thinking of the pain.. good enough thinking of only the pain somehow killed the time and distance.. lucky? haha then second phase, i thought about reaching the finishing line.. debating whether or not to continue farther? third phase, i reached "the peace of mind phase" haha.. really, :) and final phase was painful again.. and i stopped. i stopped because it was painful, because i thought it was enough, thought i ran enough.. but.. was it? did i?
it was a good morning. :)
i remember the last time i did this morning run.. i was thinking of you, you know that? i guess this time around, and next time, i'll have to do that less and less-er.. right..? :')
so. i googled things about running and found some awesome, good quotes.. let me show u;p
- the miracle isn't that i finished. the miracle is that i had the courage to start. ~John Bingham
-Everyone who has run knows that its most important value is in removing tension and allowing a release from whatever other cares the day may bring. ~Jimmy Carter
-running is one of the best solutions to a clear mind. ~sasha azevedo
-Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it. ~Oprah Winfrey
-Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us to find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it's all about. ~PattiSue Plumer, U.S. Olympian
-Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today? ~Peter Maher, Canadian marathon runner
- Mental will is a muscle that needs exercise, just like the muscles of the body. ~Lynn Jennings
-I run because it's so symbolic of life. You have to drive yourself to overcome the obstacles. You might feel that you can't. But then you find your inner strength, and realize you're capable of so much more than you thought. ~Arthur Blank
-You don’t run against a bloody stop watch, do you hear? A runner runs against himself, against the best that's in him. Not against a dead thing of wheels and pulleys. That's the way to be great, running against yourself. Against all the rotten mess in the world. ****. ~Bill Persons
-To a runner, a side stich is like a car alarm. It signifies something is wrong, but you ignore it until it goes away. ~Author Unknown
-workouts are like brushing my teeth; i don't think about them. i just do them. the decision has already been made. ~ patti sue plumer, u.s olympian.
-The greatest pleasure in life, is doing the things people say we cannot do. ~ walter bagehot.
waa, thats a lot of quotes. well, these are the ones that i like and i agree with.. some will be my reminder in the future.. :)
my quote? haha. as i always said.. i find satisfaction in running. love the way the mind works, in how it tells me to ignore the pain and go through it, that it will go away, the way mind gives me will. love the way running teaches me that im capable of so much more that i thought i could? :) . love the way running challenges me. love the way running gives me a clear mind, even only for a while, the way it shakes the stress away, even for a while, the way it shoo-s the anger away.. the way it helps me to reflect myself, reflect life, reflect many things.. love the way it somehow defines me or at least tells me more of who i am.. and so much more!!
maybe.. all we need to do is want it.. really want it..
