I had planned to run this evening at KLCC park but it rained heavily. The purpose of my planned run was to test the condition of my right knee. This evening I had to run on the treadmill at the gym. Over the past 3 weeks I had only managed to run about five times (total less than 30 km). I found these runs difficult and not very enjoyable due to my injury.
On the treadmill, I found myself enjoying the experience of running again. I rediscoved the pleasure and euphoria when I become immersed in the running experience - living in the present and not in the past or future.
Unfortunately I can now say for certain I will not be running the marathon this Sunday. My right became sore after 2 km and I had to stop running at 4 km. Perhaps one day I will be able to run longer distances. For now, I have to be patient.........
To my friends who are running this Sunday:
Good luck ! Run not just for time and medals but to experience life at its fullest.
