Ah yes... the treadmill has not functioned anymore but it is still there. Bad knee? Well, let's just say I'd rather run outside in the park now than lari setempat :D. But marathon? Nah...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The spa treatment I went to was to die for. I had a blissful moment (except for the steam – I think I could do away with this one eventhough it’s really good for me ‘coz it really left me breathless. I felt like I’d run for 10km!).
The place was superb. I really felt like I was in Bali (eventhough I’ve never been to Bali ;p). But the ambience was really nice and relaxing. It was really worth the money. I think I have to make it a point to go there more frequently for my own peace of mind.
Oh, by the way, my spending rage went on until the end of Friday. Women around the world will be proud to know that I actually bought a new handbag! Yeah, I can imagine your eyes rolling and I can actually hear you say, “Well, it’s about time!” Hehe.
My spending rage stopped after I bought me a treadmill. My aim – buns of steel! Ahahaha. No lah.
Let me explain. When I was younger, I was always a sprinter. But, I also get myself involved in all the possible jogathons organized but I was never good at them ‘coz I’ve never been a long-distance runner. I joined just because I liked to run and I still do. And since I don’t sprint anywhere anymore (except maybe to catch my little monkeys when they run to the streets or something like that), I thought maybe I should try long-distance running again.
Yes, I did think about running outdoors but I would need to find suitable time for that, which I don’t really have at this moment. The only free time that I can think of is early in the morning. And, I don’t want to risk getting myself into trouble with a lot of sickos out there. So, the solution is to get a treadmill so that I can wake up really early in the morning and run for 30 minutes or so everyday. Wish me luck.
I just hope my bad knee won’t give me any problems. But at least, if the treadmill ever becomes a white elephant, I’ll always have my bad knee to blame (maybe I shouldn’t share that to the whole wide world just yet, huh? Oh well…)
Hopefully by the next year, I’ll be running marathons :D
