sore ass..

Cycled for about 8 Km after office. And more than my leg muscles, my ass is paining. i think i need one of those cycling shorts with gel-filled bottoms for my sensitive derriere!

The other night, at the dinner party, A told me i am disappearing. What?! ummm, maybe i should cut down on the physical activities. But maybe it would be fun to be invisible - i can think of so many sinfully wicked things to do!!

Work was a bit hectic today. S told me he overheard my manager telling people to assign urgent issues to me as i am quick to solve the problems. i honestly didn't know whether to feel flattered or feel like an idiot for increasing my own work load - my colleagues tell me i should be wise and take my own time to do the work assigned to me; but i just can't bring myself to rest without getting it off my back!! Maybe i should slow down....

We are planning for a picnic this saturday. It would be fun i guess - and god knows i deserve the best that life can offer!! For a person who does not believe in the concept of god, i do take his name too often! God is a nice word for me. Amen.

...touching lyrics...

After a long time i heard this song today -

hazarein rahein
moorke dekhi
kahin se koyi sada
na aaye

badi waafa se nibhaye tune
hamari thodi si bewafai

kahin kisi roz yun bhi hota
hamare halat tumhare hote
jo raat humne guzare mar ke
woh raat tumne gujare hote

tumhe yeh zid thi hum bulate
hume yeh umeed wo pukare
hai naam hotton pe aab bhi lekin
awaaz me par gaye darare

Pride and love never did mix!

the day that was....

Today has been an eventful day for me. OK, first the run.

i woke up at 7 in the morning - an event in itself! i peeped outside just to see how the world looks like that early!It was almost 8 by the time we reached the place. And we were amazed at the turn out. There was quite a crowd. We got our bibs and t-shirts, emptied our bladders and waited for the horn to sound. 1 hr 30 mins was our target. And i surprised myself by going on and on... Maybe my muscles were still groggy to protest, it being early morning and all that. In the practice run, i could never run for more than 5 minutes at a stretch. i think i walked for maybe just a km and ran the rest of the 9km! i think maybe i finished among the first 30 or so women. Will have to wait for them to put up the result. OK, the next target is the half marathon!

Was invited to dinner by the juniors. The food was OK. On the way back, S let me drive his car. It was quite late in the night and the roads were empty! Thank god for that. i got the speed upto around 50kph. It was fun. i am definitely going to drive after i go back. Maybe i should buy myself a car.

A good day. ummmmmm.....

salute the queen!!!

i did it! If my muscles were still willing, i would be doing cartwheels right now! i completed 10K in 1 hr, 21 minutes and 09 seconds!!!! i am so f******* proud of myself. Have to wait for the official result to see how well i fared but i know i was not the last!!!

Will write about it in detail later - for now, i want to soak in the tub and celebrate my victory! And today proved that will-power is all that matters. And baby, i have it - in abundance!! Hasta la vista.

in anticipation of tomorrow....

Running shoes - scrubbed clean, smelling nice
Clothes - neatly ironed
Camera - charged
Alarm - set for the unearthly hour of 7 in the morning..sigh
Energy drink - packed and ready to drink
Muscles - ready to stretch and zoom
Mind - filled with trepidation
All other organs - stapled in place

Tomorrow is the day - if only i can get up before the event starts! i am so excited - and hell, i am going to die trying to make it in less than 90 minutes! So here i come...zip..zap...zoom......
