health is severely overrated.
before i start my entry, i am going to warn anyone who knows me extremely well to prepare themselves for the greatest shock of their lives.
-takes a deep, indrawn breath-
i ran today.
it's amazing, isn't it? i take pride in just looking at those three words. those three little magnificent words. -contented sigh.-
well, for the benefit of the cretins who have not taken the time, or not had the utmost privilege, to truly know and understand me.. i had better explain the sheer incredulity of the statement. the truth is: i NEVER run.
NEVER.
some would say i'm hiding behind my mcs. some have said i have a permanent aversion to the track. i would just label it general sloth. the truth is.. i hate exercise. all that action, and what are you left with? sore, aching muscles that do nothing for the improvement of your mental faculties. but really, after two years of complete inactivity, the body DOES need to find some way to release all that non-existent bottled-up physical tension.
so i ran today.
of course, i did so under some duress and peer pressure, but that notwithstanding, i still ran. jiayan and layhoon effectively made me run around st. nicholas, which, all in all, isn't much of a jog, but at the speed we were running i was surprised i didn't just fall flat and die. actually, it's a high possibility i did, and i'm just imagining all this in my head as my spirit leaves my body.
enough of the rubbish.
we ran less than 2 km, i would think.. it was a very SHORT jog, albeit one that required you to run quite a ways upslope. this being said, i didn't think i would suffer any aches. that'd teach me to assume anything from now on. after two years of complete shutdown of all bodily functions with regards to aerobic activity, a slightly-less-than two km run is an evil, EVIL thing.
and now my back and hip ache like the devil.
don't ask me why my back and hip hurt, because honestly, i don't know. it's fairly impossible to hurt your back during a RUN, but well, things never happen logically in my life.
okay, this has been sufficiently boring and awkward.
ciao.
