OH NO, I DID IT AGAIN.

This morning, got up rather early. In fact got up even before my alarm when off. In fact I always get up way before the alarm goes off when ever I have an event .Anyway I got up , fixed myself a quick drink, got dressed up in my running attire. I am all set for my mizuno wave run 2014.
Got into the car , key in the address on waze and hit the highway.  Half an hour on the road, then horror of horrors, I reliazed I forgot my shoes!  How to run without shoes, I was really angry with my self .How could I do such a stupid thing, forgeting the most important gear.This was not the first time I forgot about my shoes, just weeks ago, while on a hiking trip I forgot my hiking shoes, and only reliase it upon reaching the destination.Luckily a friend whom I car pool with had a spare.
But this morning I was driving alone. Well no use driving further, I had to look for a u-turn to return home. It will take too long a time to rush to the venue and I read the road will be closed by 6.30am. So this was my run that never happen. I guess I goofed big time!

LOOKING FORWARD TO A MEMORABLE DAY

I am actually looking forward to the day when I will turn 60. Forty-seven days to go , I will be offically 60. I want it to be as memorable as possible. I had plan to celebrate my Birthday on the peak of my favourite hill, Tabur .the west peak to be exact. To date I have hike Tabur 55 times, 5 more trip it will be my 60th climb and I have choosen Oct 6th for the 60th climb on my 60th birthday.
Some of my hiking buddies are so supportive and promised they will hike with me on that day. Oh by the way, it will also be a public holiday on my birthday. It's that just great?  Apart from the climb, I will also be doing something I had never done before- a night run and also will be doing a 16Km. This will be an achievement for me if I survived, as running is not something I am passionate about. Just that I wanted to do something different while I still could. I am thankful to God for giving me good health which enable me to do some of the things a lot of people my age, might not be able to do.
