13 km was what i did this morning. i did something out of routine. i would usually run from kebun bunga to aseana and back. this time around i drove from home and parked my car at kobena and i ran from there to office. how did i got back home? i took a bus (paid rm1.60) from office to kobena and drove back home. wow! it cost me only rm 1.60 + 6km worth of fuel burned + car depreciation + calories burned, to travel from home to office and back today.
at office i met a true malaysian athlete by accident. he's hamdi jaafar. Malaysian record holder for, damn, i can't recall correctly. Anywho, he's da man. he got this scholarship to get a degree at states together with jeffry ong and nurul huda abdullah.
he is an athelete with a sport science degree. he shared with me lots of things which i have never heard of. i was amazed. i tought meeting hairul azwar, adrian mok etc. was the once in the life time thing and i thought at that time was the greatest moment, i am so wrong. if there is one thing that i treasure most from our conversation, it has to be on the topic of consistency. it gave me a fresh look on training. now i am more eager to do my runs!
i think every aspiring runner should be given the chance to meet up with world class athele. getting tips from the horses mouth is priceless. that's why i am thinking of organizing a session for him to give out tips to them aspiring runners out there. maybe i should do it properly, say have it a proper venue and charge a small sum to defray cost. let me sleep it over and put up a plan for that.
