Chill

Irritating. Yes that's how this post will start.

I was at the stadium doing my usual weekend runs when, of all times, it started to rain. Man...it threatened to rain all day since morning, but never did. But just when I was halfway through my rounds, it began to drizzle. Remember I was supposed to run yesterday but didn't coz of the rain? Well, today aint any better. I was at my 9th round when the drizzle came. I mumbled prayers under my breath while panting like an asthmatic to make the rain go away. Actually I don't ask for much. Just don't turn into some storm please please please. Of coz it didn't happen. I was into my 11th round when lightning cracked. Sigh. Just another half hour more before the stadium closes for the day and the sky just wouldn't let up.

The rain got heavier while the remaining runners (less than 10 of us) hung around at the stadium, hoping against hope that the rain would take a breather and we can all be on our way home. Instead, it rained even harder. I sat at the stands, watching the flooding tracks and muddy field reverberating with each splash of the rain. Thankfully I had my ipod with me, but looking at the battery bar, there wasn't much strength left in it. I just prayed like mad again that it would hold up. Eventually the kind attendant lent me and this other lady an umbrella "to share". As if we stay together. Well at least we are going in the same direction for a small part. I bet he must have been eagerly waiting to lock the place up and be on his way home. Afterall he can shut down early for today. *shrug* K lah, I shan't be mean. :)

For once I didn't really like the rain. But just for just now lah. *grin* It's just that running is the one way I get to de-stress after an entire week of crap and unhappiness. It allows me to clear my mind, and as with all exercises, the oxidation process makes me happy at the end of it. Not to mention the sense of achievement I get and a healthy mind and body. Muahaha...I sound like a a nag now. Alrite, just some grouses to get off my chest.

Lotsa things ran through my mind while I sat at the stadium and staring at the rain. Like how time just past me by year after year. Thinking about what I don't have, to what I have, and to what I want to have. I thought about the things I want to buy, in the short and long term. I even made up a few resolutions along the way. Ha...It would be even better if I had a good book with me. Best time for reflection I guess. Maybe that's why the rain came down. *thoughtful*

Ok, I'm still compiling my resolution list. Long time since I did this. Be patient.
