running... walking... blading...

I dunno abt you, but whenever i run (alone), it's a time to ponder, reflect and even pray... sometimes, i'll learn pretty interesting insights along the way.

All runs goes thro' these phases:
1. A beginning ... you feel energetic ... all souped up to begin a challenging run ahead ... the route is fixed in your head ... you've a target.

2. The run begins ... soon, you're in rhythm ... then comes a couple of up slopes, down slopes ... huff, puff, huff, puff as the road inclines ... on down slopes, you'll stride n relax ...

3. The body starts to ache ... well, we're human, you'll start to strain as the lactic acid builds up ...

4. Finally the end is in sight ... you speed up, eager to end the run ... so as to rest.

Often, in life, we plan ... and begin to run our race... sometimes, the end seems so far ... but we've to run ... or do we?


Walking... i enjoy walking, taking time to appreciate the scenes around me ... there's the shopping scene (crowded!! Lost!) ... then there's the peaceful scenery in the gardens, parks, taking time to breathe in the fresh air & appreciate the sights...

I guess goin thro' life is not all about running... but walking would be a better option... where are you rushing off to my fren? Watch out for the potholes, you'll trip! ... then again, you'll get up... eventually. Human instinct to survive i guess.


Blading... Rollerblades that is... a wonder piece of human invention, I guess it's a mix of running and walking... it's not too tiring, quick enough & gives you fairly enough time to appreciate the things around... then again, you can't blade everywhere, hmm...


Anyway, whether you're running, walking or blading... appreciate the journey... great exercise too ;)
