okay, tomorrow morning is the run, and i guess i have to sleep early because i’ll have to wake up half-past 6 in the morning, but i think i have to post something for tonight , like a pre-run.. well, i had a very good meal for dinner, loaded with protein and carbo (as you can see) and everythings set-up, i even cut my toe nails but made sure i don’t overdo them because if i do and they bleed..then that’s going to be a pain!
there are really a lot of things to say this past few weeks despite being quiet, starting with the biggest news at home with my father returning to the philippines after 11 years of extinction. i could probably write something with the length as much as this blog contains from the start if i would say what’s dealing with the family right now, but dear readers, i’ll spare you the dramas. i just want you to know that everything is better than i’d expected, very much, astounding, enormous, humongously way better.
so let’s just talk about a great endeavour i will be having. this coming saturday, i’m going for a company run event. this will be my first official run (if you call it that way), and i realize that 4.30-km run, the category i’m in, is indeed very feeble. i run on and off the past several years but with my recent career *ahem* in swimming, i almost forget that i have a rubber shoes. well, they are both cardios i guess, but it’s still essential that i get some actual training in the form of running. with the event coming in 2 days, i had a grand total practice of not 1, but 2 runs!. my stats last monday was 26:54 for the 4-km, and last night (wednesday) was 24:29 for the same length, improved but definitely not impressive.
i decided not to run for tonight, and friday as well. no swimming too, just pure relaxation, maybe a couple of movies, and the most pleasant thing of all is that i get to eat a little bit more rice guilt-free. afterall, i need all the carbos i can take. normally, i cook 1 cup of rice (that plastic standard that comes with rice cookers, if you know what i’m talking about) every night and that is good for 2 meals, the dinner and lunch the next day. yes, that’s 1 cup = 2 meals. when i was living in hong kong, the very same size of cup, i needed 2 cups of that for 1 meal. yes, 2 cups = 1 meal. it has been reversed. no wonder then, i always appeared fantastically healthy whenever i go home.
do not feel bad for me that i might appear skinny and deprived. it’s very far from that that i never ran out of milk, fruit juices, yoghurt, and fruits in forms of apple, oranges or strawberries. actually, i feel better this way, and i know that it is more right to some extent, but i do not have to tell you that the biggest benefit of eating the proper amount of food apart from being physically healthy, is that it is more cost-effective. 
anywho, going back to the run, since i mentioned that 4.3-km is chicken, i could definitely finish that. the longest run in one single session i had in my entire life is about 20km, but that was on the tread machine. like i posted somewhere here ages i go, running outside is different from indoors. you are to consider a lot of other things like friction, air resistance, maybe gravity, inclination, and most of all, any nice-looking girls running just like you (too bad i always see aunties most of the time). the real question is how fast i can finish it, if i would be better than most runners, or will i be behind everyone else and leading the veteran team. it’s a competition, and as hardly prepared as i am, my only wish and hope right now is that my opponents are all uncles.
really bad..but i’d rather post it anyway..my laptop is so slow at rendering videos..i hope i have enough money to get a new one.
good news that you don’t have to read much of my non-sense now!
