Thursday - Lousy Day and Nude Running

Today was not a good day.

I woke up at 2.30 am as I had to go the toilet. I was having a diarrhea attack. I could not sleep much after that visit - had an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach.

At 4.30 am, I went again. The third time at 5.30 am.

Woke up groggy from lack of sleep (3 hrs) . I wanted to take the day off but I couldn't as I had to attend a meeting at 11.30 am. I felt weak due the effect of the diarrhea.

At the office, between 8.00 am to 2.00 pm, I made three more visits to toilet. I felt a bit better after 2.00 pm. The diarrhea seems to have dissapeared but I was stil feeling weak.

At 5.30 pm, I considered whether to run or not at KLCC. I was still feeling a bit weak and my right knee was very sore. Probably it was in the worst condition over the past 3 months. Finally I decided to go to KLCC maybe just to walk or run 1-2 laps.

I was really not in a mood to run. After doing some unenthusiastic stretching, I ran one lap. My knee was in bad shape - felt like the thigh and lower bones grinding against each other. Very sore.

After 1 lap, I stopped and stood, wondering what to do. Run, walk or go home?

FInally I decided to run. Saw Yong on his 3rd lap approaching my position. I joined him. Right knee did not seemed too bad when I ran another 4 laps (5.2 km).

After the 4th lap, I stopped, walked another lap. Knee was still sore but it was not too bad when walking. While walking, speedy Li Sar ran past at a fast pace.

I spent a few more minutes chatting with Gan. Hobbled off to the LRT station afterwards.

Total distance run = 6.5 km
Total distance walked = 1.3 km
No. of visits to the toilet = 6 times
Total amount of sleep = 3 hrs.

Tonight I figured out the source of my diarrhea. I had fried tofu last night but it tasted bitter and I spat most of it out. But I had eaten a tiny piece from the initial bite. All it took was a tiny piece to cause my diarrhea.

I am going to bed now - got to get some sleep.
