As some of you would know... J came back this May to run the Sundown Marathon... Yup he ran all 84km. And when I was there... I was so inspired ....I WANT TO RUN TOO!
Now you may not think that it's anything special... RUN RUN LOR! Shout so loud for what?!
But let me tell you this...
I have NEVER taken the NAPFA test before.
Nope not even in Pri Sch.
I have not swam a single lap since I was 10.
Nope not even in Sec 1 compulsory swimming programme.
I have not ran for any distance
further than the main entrance to the first aisle of Mango during a sale
in the last 10 years.
(Yes that means I do not run for buses)
I have not done a single pushup since Secondary 3.
The last one I did was for NPCC.
(Yes I was in NPCC)
I can hardly lift any weights
and have trouble with the lightest bowling ball.
So I don't bowl.
The last time I took my heartbeat/min...
it was 94 beats AT REST.
The only exercise I've done in the last 5 years
would be finger exercise.
BUT YES. I'M GOING TO TRAIN.
I thought of Karen and the look of accomplishment she had when she came in from her race.
I can do it too. (despite the fact that she's a lot fitter la)
That day... immediately... I thought to myself.... I shall try some pushups.

The next day, my arms ached so much I couldn't stretch them properly.
