Zen Running

Didn't sleep much last night, so I needed the run to run off the frustrations & all the negative emotions.

Realised I left my ipod in the office and hence I had to run without my trusty companion today.  Surprisingly though, I didn't really suffer without the music.  In fact, I could hear my thoughts better and concentrate on them without the distractions.   It was my usual Tues run and in my head I just kept telling myself to "power through".  I guess all the pent up frustrations were channeled to better use (more kinetic energy haha) this morning. This is a much more effective outlet !
  
Towards the last segment of my run, one uncle overtook me.  Aiyo, typically I will just slow down or keep to my slow pace so that I wouldn't suffer at the end.  But today I just picked up speed and try to keep up with him.  Although I never got to overtake him, I managed to close the gap.  Cheap thrill :P

Good run this mrn.  I guessed i dumped some of the unhappiness on the roadside :P 

1hrs 23 mins, hopefully 12 - 13 km?
