Hours Slide, and Days Go By

Till you decide to come
And in between it always seems too long
All of a sudden

I don't mind,
I don't care,
As long as you're here.

Yeah, that's right. It's not that I have put on weight (oh, that'll be the day), or that I have managed to get a tummy (actually, I'm worried about this), but that I had a few things on my mind (thanks in part to an old.. acquaintance that I met just now. Asshole) that I had to just, I don't know, sort of run through and get rid off. So I thought that some physical workout would help.

It did, up to a certain extent, though the um, ineffectiveness of it was partly down to me. I wanted to really run until my legs fall off, and I thought I could go quite far / long without thoughts buzzing in my head. But I must have chosen the wrong playlist (indeed, I did) and after the third song, things started going a little off. I mean, I continued running, but my head was full of thoughts. But enough of the thoughts. I managed to run them off for a while, so I don't want to dwell on it.

Today I decided to go easy on myself, so I set a target of 5km in maybe, 20 - 25 minutes. Which, I think by my standards would be achievable. So yeah, I did manage the 5km, but with a little slow moment at about 3km - 4km. The last kilometer, I ran again. Just to see if I could get to my targeted time. Well, I almost did.

5 km in 28 minutes. Hmm. I guess it's okay. Though after donkey years of not running, this should be considered pretty good.

Oh there was a girl sitting nicely in the middle of the park that I chose to run at, and I think she saw I was troubled or something (I tried to arrange my face to betray nothing, but I guess it didn't really work), because I noticed her looking at me a lot. And I don't think I'm mistaken, since I was the only other person at the park at that time. Or maybe I was perasan, and she just happened to be looking at my shoes or something. Hmmm. Anyway, I've decided to try make this a "twice-a-week" thing, if possible. 5km per-session. I can do it!

Sometimes I really can't help but wishing I was a turtle.
