Running again

Today was pretty much a different Monday for me, because I spent the weekend here in Palawan, and I did all my admin work here in the distributor, instead of in Batino, Laguna.  It felt good being near my area actually, and I'm kind of leaning towards doing this every other week.


Anyway, yesterday Sunday, I spent four (4) hours cleaning my house.  I practically cleaned every corner I could get my hands on!  Felt weird too, that the next day, my body ached!  It was probably because of the sedentary lifestyle my body got used to.


So anyway, today was pretty okay si I had the chance to run again.  Sometime after 5pm, I checked outside and saw that it was still a bit sunny, considering it has not stopped raining here.


Anway, so I got home around 545pm since i live practically 5mins away from my office here in Palawan.  I dressed up, in the most baduy running attire ever:  Vneck undershirt, basketball shirt, black socks and white running shoes.  Para akong lolo.  hahaha.


I started off walking the oval, timing my round at the same time.  Glad to note that I still walk at the same pace!  5 minutes for 400m.  I did about 4 rounds of walking for warm-up, total of 1.6km.


After walking, I did a bit of stretching, and then started my run-walk routine again.  This time I wasn't too conscious of the time, but the distance.  Run 200m, walk 200m.  That's a round.


And a round that fucking was.  I quickly felt my ginormous quads heating up like fresh buns from an oven.  My left ankle too, felt funny.  I was glad I finished that first round.  Nine more to go.


The second was pretty much like the first, although I distinctly remember panting like a duck who just got laid.  Very happy I was walking the other 200m.


2 rounds.


Third round.  I felt I slowed down significantly, because I was breathing really heavy.  It was crazy too, since it looked like someone threw a whole pitcher of water on my head down to my naked vneck'd breasts.


3 rounds.


The 4th round was a bitch.  The last 10 meters was fucking crazy.  I couldn't run because I couldn't breathe anymore.  My quads were really tired, and I felt my lower back started to ache.  (if anyone at all is reading this, and if you know what I am doing wrong, please send me an email.  rmatignas@gmail.com subject: running like a bitch).


I told myself that was the last round though.  But getting near my starting point I felt like I owed it to my future wife and kids to stay alive and not die of any heart attack anytime soon.  I pushed myself one last time even though every strand of hair was saying no.


5 rounds.


I ran.


I ran 2 kilometers today, and walked 3.6 kilometers.


Pussy.  Yes.


But a great (re) start nonetheless.


Finally running again.
