Weird Bird

The humidity is no joke here. The temperature is actually somewhat okay... Not blazing at all, but there's always some form of shade. Running is a tad difficult. It takes quite a bit of self discipline and motivation and quite a lot of balls to brave the humidity.

I woke up, contemplated about running. I'm glad I just went ahead and finished the run. Nothing far, just a short 3.1 miles. That meant a loop around the neighborhood park, a road down to the next neighborhood park and another loop, then down the down to the next park and loop and repeat. There were a few small inclines which made it just a tad challenging.

On my run, I was craving diet Coke (or Coke Zero) with a sprinkle of salt and lots and lots of ice! It must be the lingering colonial-ish from eons ago....Singaporeans just aren't interested in ice. So, I'm the weird bird here, seeking ice. Just yesterday, I went to 7-Eleven, hopeful about getting a Super Big Gulp with ice and diet Coke. I was sorely disappointed. Diet Coke wasn't available.

I had a good time with my momma yesterday. And when she tried to talk about weight/fat/diet, I just told her that she shouldn't talk about that anymore. I know what's essential to being healthful. And yes, I probably could stand to lose a few pounds, but I'm healthy. I can run. I eat. I sleep. And I do them all very well. In fact, these thinner than Kate Moss (Auschwitz looking girls) should be worried about osteoporosis.

I'm off to lunch with my best friend and my momma.
I haven't been reading much of blogs or posting many pic because of accessibility.
Will post again.

P.s.: I'm kinda stoked about Sunday. Think I'll have plans to meet a friend for a run/walk/catch up session.

  7. I'm glad you said something and hopefully put a stop to the food/weight talk! Hopefully everybody will back off.

    No ice - I'm not sure how I'd handle that. I don't use it at home, but at a restaurant or store it is essential!
