Sure I do run a bit, but not as possionate as I do Hiking. Just like a leaf being blown by the wind, I will run when there is a reason or situation. Last week, Nov 9th I ran with a good friend ,Clover. Since she wanted to do something special on her birthday. Instead of the normal birthday celebration, she wanted to make it a memorable special day on her birthday. She had make this known weeks before her actual birthday. Since she made an effort to celebrate with me on my
special birthday, I was oblige to return the favour.I blocked that date on my calender. immediately I registered for the Great Eastern Live great run, which was the run she had choosen. When I gave my word, I would not go back on my word. On the week before the run , I was not well, and even as the days draw nearer I had not fully recovered, but a promise, is a promise, I was prepare to just walk if I was not able to run, but Thank God ran I did and I was surprise that I did not do too bad as far as the timing concern. It could had even a better timing , had I not stop to snap photos and doing some other stuff like selfie etc. But I had learnt from previous experience, not to put pressure on myself ,but just to enjoy the run, after all I was not there to compete,but to fullfil a girl' s birthday wish. I caught up with birthday girl at the 9km mark. and almost at the finishing line, I took out a special birthday banner and ran backward with the banner facing her. I could see her surprise look and when she smile it was priceless.
