The Running Man
Been a long time since I entered an entry... (?)
Anyways, yes you've guessed it, I am in my-once-a-week workspace.. hehehe... how to resist the 19 inch LCD with P4 processor in a private personal space...
Have been running at least once a week and the pain is excrutiating! Can hardly breathe, joints aching and there were many times that I thought I was gonna collapse! Never realised how bad a shape I was in until now... actually I knew but I guess I was just deceiving myself. Hah!
As I ran round the track, I reflected on how I have changed over the years. I realised I have become more impatient and this aspect of me is even evident when I exercise. I want to get to the end of the 6 rounds quickly but yet my body is unable to attain that level of performance. In the process I ended up with sore joints and what seemed like a failing heart...
Then I told myself... what's the hurry? Why the rush? I couldn't answer myself. (of course, this was coupled by the fact that I was breathless and thought I was going to die)
I then decided to take a slow walk around the estate since my knees can no longer take the constant pounding, let alone my heart... I realised that everyone around me is speeding through life, taking postgrad exams, passing them quick, planning their postings so that they can move on to the next phase ASAP, get a reg job ASAP...
The key word was ASAP. This ASAP, that ASAP. GRAB this GRAB that... Do this DO that... SETTLE this SETTLE that...
Am I taking things too easy? Am I falling far behind in this race against time?
