A Runner's Diary #8th November 2014

6.30am

I woke up this morning, feeling a bit drowsy. Bangun, basuh muka, gosok gigi, subuh and get ready in my running suit. Did simple warm-up feet exercise, tend my rabbits and I'm ready to run.

7.00am

Walked to the starting line. In my mind, the starting line when I ran on the route to KLCC, from my house is always the Klinik Kerajaan. You can see the finishing line from here (which are the 2 KLCC's towers) and it just feels so far away.

7.05am

Started running. Time changed to kilometres for me from this point. Knee supporter started to squeeze both of my peha.

1km
Blerch started to kick in from behind. Negative thoughts started to flow in. Kaki dah start rasa pressure, but my hiking shoes are holding on. The first km is always the hardest for me. The process in which my feet adapt themselves to handle pressure and pain bothers my mind a lot. Just need to focus and set my mind to keep pushing my legs.

2km
The pressure was enormous for my legs. Not wearing a proper running shoes dah start giving a toll towards my feet. Can feel my bones are in pain or screaming or whatever. Its a war in my mind. Half of it nak stop, and another half push me to keep running.

3km
I think, if i'm not mistaken, the 3km mark is at the simpang Ampang Park. The sudden stop I took because of the traffic light shooked my legs. Sweat was pouring out. My hands feel awkward and my back feels uncomfortable - another thing I should look up - running and not hurting your back.

4km
Reaching KLCC. My mind is set. To finish the 5km target this morning. Ran into the park to complete the target. Breathing dah rasa macam okay. The pain in my feet dah numb. This is my favorite part of running.

5km
Getting a runner's high is ecstasy for me. My feet dah sakit macam mahu tercabut but my mind is eager to continue running. Ended my run right after the bridge near the park's swimming pool.

In the evening:
I ran for another 15km and damn I'm too lazy to describes every km. But it was awesome. Total KMs cover for one day: 20km.

"I choose not to fix my torment. I chose to own it. To posses it. I chose to run." - Oatmeal.

Its been 2 years since the first time i put on my running shoes. I remember my first run, it was filled with pain and god-knows-torturing moments that I endured. But it does not ends there. It was just a beginning.

"The mountains are calling, and I must go."

2 tahun sudah sejak mengorak langkah menjelajah ke bukit, gunung dan hutan. Pencarian kepuasan dalam hidup bersama alam semulajadi menjadi inspirasi untuk aku terus bekerja. It was when my journey dekat Pulau Bako yang aku sudah determine untuk terus menjelajah dunia. Mengapa mesti aku buat semua ini? Mengapa perlu menitiskan peluh, menambahkan luka, menahan sakit demi untuk sampai ke puncak gunung? Untuk melangkah ke dalam air terjun? Untuk tiba di penghujung jalan hutan tebal?

As I typing this entry in my office, I can see bruises, scars from my past journey. And I can feel the fresh ones on both of my legs. Its worth it. Every single one of my bruises and scars are testimonials from the places that I visited and the hassle I went through to embrace Allah's creation, bukan semata-mata untuk melihat, tetapi untuk mengenal cara hidup yang lebih bermakna.

Next target: Mount Argopuro, Jawa Insya Allah.

Ultimate target: Umrah and Haji. Amin.

“Nature is always hinting at us. It hints over and over again. And suddenly we take the hint.” - Robert Frost

Let alone the nature consume us. As they creep at night riding time.

Reaching stones and concretes.

Till the end of time, everything apart nature shall perish and fall down to earth.
