Back On The Road

I wasn't feeling all too well yesterday and was also very very lethargic. So I procrastinated going for my run during lunch thinking I may go after work. But was feeling even more dead after work and hence decided to give myself one day off (v relak hor? :P) and skipped my planned run altogether.

Still feeling tired today. Was online, planning to go for a run later (with waning determination & motivation) when Teelee msn-ed me. Wah! Was really surprised to see him online coz he has been so busy at work. So last minute asked him whether he would be keen to run at the stadium. Teelee, in his usual style, said ok (HOORAY!!!) .

As luck would have it, Teelee got to the stadium and found that it was closed for a soccer match! Half of me was like thinking "Yay! Got excuse not to run!" but the other part of me was like "Oh no! No run again ? Not good! CANNOT!!!"

After a couple of sms exchanges, we decided to run on the road. So Teelee ran to my place, did some stairs training before we headed out for a road run.

As this is gonna be my first road run after so long, I had to be prudent and wanted to keep my distance to not more than 4km. Dear Teelee, the ever patient and accomodating dude, just kept to my pace and ran alongside me while we covered the stretch towards AMK (still far from it of course) and then made a u-turn back to my place, stopping at the food centre near my block for dinner. Total time taken was about 30mins so Teelee figured it was about 4km. I trust this human foodpod :)

We jiaked & chatted over a long dinner, catching up with what he has been up to in camp and his upcoming races & plans.

So glad to be able to run on the road after such a longggg break! Can't even remember when was the last time I ran with Teelee in HSP (Just checked my blog entries, the last time I ran with Teelee was 22 Aug!!! Half a year ago!!! I dun believe this!!!)! Though the distance covered is meagre, and I was like sooo not in shape that I was panting after a short distance, it felt good! really good to be out and running! Though it would be a very long time before I can join any SGRunners organised runs as I'm still too slow and out of shape, but I guess this is nonetheless a good start!

THANKS Teelee for agreeing to run with me, at my slow slow pace, at such a short short distance (paiseh!) and the wonderful company throughout! *super big bow that forehead touched the floor* :D
