Yesterday, I forgot to bring my T-shirt and shorts to the office. At 6.00 pm, from my office on the 24th floor, I could only longingly look at KLCC park. Even from the 24 th floor, I could see who was running at KLCC park from the running styles. Jamie, Ronnie, Yong, Adam, Yong and Justin were running. I wanted to run too but alas my memory failed me yesterday.
A few years ago, the same thing happened when I forgot to bring my running gear. It was a beautiful and sunnny day and I had to run. Shoes was not a problem as I wore my running shoes to the office. Out of desperation, I went to the Royal Sporting House at KLCC and bought a T-shirt and shorts just so I could run that evening.
Today I made sure I brought along my T-shirt and shorts. At 6.00 pm , I reached the usual spot at the zero meter mark. I saw Yong stretching but today he was dressed differently. He wore a black coloured T-shirt. I asked him why he was not wearing his usual round collar T-shirt. He said he forgot to bring it and had to wear his office T-shirt to run. Another desperate runner!.
Anway, it was a good day to run with the cooler temperature due to the afternoon rain. We ran slowly at 7 min 55 seconds pace for 5 laps (6.5 km). Runing in the opposite direction was Newton and Kenneth. The fast bald chinese man was there too.
At the last lap, I saw an old friend who had been missing from KLCC park over the past one and half years. Back in 1999, there were four regular runners at KLCC; me, Yong, Salleh and the MIA friend. Today was his 2nd run after stopping from running for 1-1/2 years. Both Yong and I were happy to see him running again at KLCC park. We hoped to see him more often.
Ramadhan is coming up next week. It looks Azwar has a training plan during the fasting month. I have been formulating a training plan as well although my previous plans over the past 4 years have never been very succesful.
