together with hp, i did pump on monday. we haven't been doing pump for almost a year that both of us were having tough time on tuesday, struggling hard just to sit and stand. still i forced myself to do combat yesterday even when i couldn't balance myself well after each kick. and today together with hp i did our weekly run. both of us was laughing when we started running because well, we couldn't! our thighs are as stiff as a log that she said she ran with a straight leg. i ran so very slow as well. and from all the run we had, today was actually one of the interesting one. from some tourist chanting "hop hop hop hop" to another tourist clapping his hand and said "come on, hop hop hop" a few metres away from the first one. reaching clarke quay area a lady commented about us to her friend in french to which i looked at her and said "merci" in return. i kinda gave up once we reached river valley and walked a bit. an indian guy looked at me saying "come on, you can do it. go go go" which well didn't motivate me to start again. once i stopped my leg was back to being a log. i managed to continue though and both of us finally reached our starting point again.
from there we went for dinner, my first prata bomb. again, the old man was very kind and kept on asking me to comment on his food just like gurmit did on tv. hp wanted to try one putu piring; the lady was confused because apparently nobody ever asked for just one that she ended up giving it FOC *hp likes it and bought some for her parents anyways*. we had a simple yet nice dinner and while we're eating an old man who was stopping nearby said "eat eat eat" when we looked at him. lol.
we both agreed that today was the most interesting run we've ever had. and i kinda feel that all these small little nicely gestures from people around us were like a reward for our determination to run even when the legs are as stiff as a log.
sometimes all we need is just to push ourself a little bit harder...
