run without limping

i'm glad to see tt my 2 frens r enjoying themselves at pgp. Shall crash there tmr n stay over so tt can facilitate movement on sat since trg is in campus. Just thinking wad's in store for sat's breakfast..ahahha. U both muz b gd 'hoster'[insider's joke] ok? i shd b sleeping in wen's room since i'm quite a messy person n jul will surely not b able to stand my living habits.

i finally went to see a proper doc on wed, aft managing to find some time to be able to do so.i needed better n more trustworthy opinion bout e leg injury aka shin splint aka ss[for short]..uhwc is only there for cheap medicine but the docs there r like, erm..a bit chapalang lah, i muz say.

doc says dun run for 4-6 weeks. I asked for a compromise. "light running can or not?" n he said a stern "NO!" but added, "swimming is ok though." Yah, as if i love swimming. I'm okie wif swimming juz tt i dun understand y i take so long to complete 1 lap. Takes me bout 1.30-2 min to finish a lap.

So i was thinking if i shd stop exerting stress on e affected area n juz heed e doc's advice. thinking hard if i shd run today. in the end, i did. Coz i thought aft all, sunday's legs n paddles event also muz run 3.2km, so even if i rest now, i'd still aggravate on sunday rite? Might as well stop running frm next week onwards, w.e.f monday. i know i'm being reckless, i noe i'm being naughty, i noe i'm pushing my luck, i noe diz is bad for me. I really do. I remember how yirang came for trg today aft her lessons n we've juz completed e 10km run n she walked up to me n said, 'hor hor, cindy, hen huai dan ah? hai pao 10km somemore!' n amy says she'll 'tie my legs up if i still continue running next week'. but who can truly differentiate the thin line btwn when is it pushing urself n when is it tt u r aggravating an injury? Who exactly knows?

I share e same sentiments as yirang. i really wanna run without limping[haha =] pun not intended] too. and i'd like to bounce down downslopes without having to hobble sidewards n let my right leg take e impact. and it sure isnt a nice feeling when u have to stay behind n do circuits while others go for e run. They come back wif e shagged look on their faces, n their faces seem to say, 'u r lucky u neednt have to run' but..but..u darn wished u were there. Its this desire to row/run/do anything wif e team. Even if it is very shiong n u feel like u r gonna die in e process of doing it. maybe i'm nuts. high chance, yea.

run was fun. we were split into 3 grps. was in yunshan's grp. our grp consisted of yunshan, serene, meiping, jul n myself. so yea, definitely feel young. no lah, better not say, ltr got karma. i promised yunshan i wont start wif e 1900-112-8888 thing when running so she agreed to let me pace wif her. yah i kept my word. when we ran past e ucc i juz glanced to e ucc n grinned to myself but didnt utter a word about it. but ok, i did utter some nonsense during e run. Not exactly nonsense, juz smth light-hearted. we were running down e south buona vista road n on our right, i cld see e sunset. this magnificent sight of the egg yolk. so i said, 'eh yunshan, let's outrun e sun!' woohoo. -_-". ~lame~

i agreed ignatius to help out in tmr's css mass but realised tt i need to celebrate weili's bdae tmr. so in e end, i kinda backed out. sigh. anyway, hope tmr will b fun. singing kbox wif e gals. it's been a while since we sang..n hogged e mike. so..wad's e surely muz sing songs? david tao, mayday, liang jing ru, wu yi liang ping..list goes on. hahah will we be eating at e same place as last yr? this time rd there's one thing for sure. coincidence wont happen..coz..she's overseas. hahahah

  • if doc says not to aggravate and stop running for 4-6 wks, the 4-6 wks is not defined by u. he means, stop fr the very day he told u.. i'll help amy get the ropes!

    haha, abt living habits, yes, but there's always a compromise right?

    see u tonight babe!
