the high and low down of 27/27

57 were selected for kluang run
27 turned up
4 brave ladies
23 young lads
started off with a whole bunch of crazy lads sprinting
mei was stunned and that 1 second she took to start her stopwatch made her 27th
mei crawled up relentlessly
she was ard 18th
it was a huge round around the military camp
no marks, no signs
ooo FINALLY a 2 km mark...mei peered at her stopwatch...
hehehehe below 10mins !!!!
she is on time !
hmm mind over body..mind over body .............
BUT aiyah.. 2km for less than 10 mins
3.5km shld be less than 20min what...
YA HOR... so pia for what.. not see who first mah
and it was perpetual inertia...it was so difficult to run again
mei peered 17mins ++ 3km mark not in sight
mei ran the helluva outta her life
18mins++++ close to 19th 3 km mark...
maybe she shld just walk now
and she strolled
she was 27/27 :)
some pple came and said "well done"
hypocrites or what ?
but AT LEAST i can say
i've tried
i've been to a malaysian military camp
i made new friends
i realise that even if u wear long modest slacks for a sunny day run.. u can still be second
i shouldnt have secretly laughed at long slacks
i did warm up conducted by a commando in malay that i didnt understand
i spoke entirely in malay the whole time
i laughed when i didnt understand (to pretend that i did)
i realised that there are a bunch of pple more enthusiastic and deserving
i realised that there are also a bunch who didnt wanna regret not going
i enjoyed my car ride
i have a xxl tee-shirt for the run
i got a cool cap that i gave to the taxi uncle
i had a banana at the refreshments desk
i refused to eat nasi bryani after a mad run
i also took the most expensive taxi ride of my life RM170
i am also happy

well..no more astronaut plans :)

- now what - is the BIG question
