Time fly ?? -Reflecting 2010

Wow, what a year it was for me, it started off bad, i remembered the first run of the year, NB 30KM which took away my ligament, ACL to be exact. Ouch, later it moves on to be a very emotional ride indeed for me, the very thing that eludes me from my emotional trouble...was taken away from me. Not giving up,trying solutions after solutions given by fellow RBU(s) and end up with inevitable recondition surgery.

The surgery was done based on my eagerness to be back fast on track. Therefore, opting for it was the only way as advised by the Doctor that i would be able to be back on track faster. Instead, it turn out to be a very very long vacation from any competition. Take it like a man  Bro, well i did, though it was hard as if i am losing the love of my life. Recovery was not an easy thing to endure. I did not recommend it to any other person whom loves this sport. Prevention is the key not recovery.

Training during recovery is very hard since a little pain in the joint would be predicated. You were constantly in a state of unknown, clueless to be precised, not knowing whether is it normal or not ? and How far are u willing to endured it ? I continued on jogging and slowly progress into running, building mileage from 3km to 6 km and cross training in between.

However, the training was not enough to take on the mighty 63 km in 12 hr Rogaining at Teluk Intan, i was downed with an injured leg. Maybe i was pushing too hard to the extend not even realising that i was hurting myself. Thus far, i had not sign up for any runs yet as i am not confident of my own strength , even to run 10km. With Godwill and I could run pain free then i would consider joining back the competition scene.

Sometimes things happen for a reason, not all things were sober for me this year. I managed to move in to my new house, my new Bach pad, i guess,  huhu. It had always been my dream to own a house which i eventually did. Thanks to my mom and dad for making my dream possible. Rekindle back my friendship with old buddies and trekking the world outside. Venturing into baking bizzz...

Hoping for a better future lies ahead though things would not be easy.....keep on striding ahead..

Happy New Year To All , May this coming new year we would be blissful and be filled with great things.

Keep on burning those rubber soles.

Non Impact Cardio

I had always avoided from working out on a non impact cardio machine such as the elliptical bike. It could be due to lack in the running feeling. A few days, back i tried the new elliptical bike at my new refurbished office gym and to my surprise wow..u can burn a lot of calories on it...perggg i was sweating like a pig (ok ke?) burning almost 500 calories by doing 40 minutes on the preset workout program installed in the bike system.

The plus point is that it was really gentle on my knees. I felt so liberated ....I recommended it to those whom in recovery like me, you are not undermining yourself , in fact u are helping yourself to recover much faster than you think. Remember ya uolz...your ligament grows at a very slow slow slow rate yar.... the fastest is six month. Sangat...so that why lar, you see those sportsman when they said they had ligament issues ,they were put to rest immediately.

Phobia ke uolzz...yes you should be, cause the reality is tough, so better check yourself. Techniques are the key also. So let go non impact, i wish there are non impact shoes as well so i would not bust another knee in another race.

Happpy Training You All 

Bila tulisan dan larian itu cacat...

Mohon maaf jika penulisan ini sedikit berlainan dan juga penggunaan bahasa yang lain......

Hidup kita sentiasa di kritik samada untuk kebaikan atau tidak. Kenapa kita seakan begitu degil untuk menerimanya....kekadang apa yang kita fikirkan terbaik bagi kita adalah buruk bagi seseoarang walaupun usaha untuk menghasilkannya tidak pernah ada rasa penat. Adakah kita akan dilabelkan Cacat kerana itu?

Cacat itu bermaksud kurang Sempurna?.... Sempurna? Dari setiap manusia adalah berlainan tafsirannya, ia mungkin berlari dengan langkah yang tegar and teguh, memanjat dengan gagah dan menulis dengan kata kata manis dan puitis. Setiap manusia dambakan kesempurnaan sebegitu . Ia bagaikan sesuatu mimpi bagi seseorang dan mungkin juga realiti kehidupan seseorang itu pada saat ini , syukur pada Tuhan.

Terlalu banyak yang  perlu dikejar...semakin hari semakin banyak menghampiri kepada kegagalan...rasa penat menusuk hati apabila setiap usaha bagaikan tiada berguna lagi.  Perasaan putus asa tidak ada dalam kamus tetapi kekecewaan itu tetap ada.Setiap yang kalah pasti ada yang menang, jika tidak menang dalam apa yang dikehendaki mungkin jua pada apa yang tidak diharapkan. Setiap pintu itu terbuka pada pintu yang tertutup.

Penulisan adalah sekadar nukilan sahaja......sekadar mengisi mindaku yang dikategorikan cacat.
