the moon and the river

it's midnight. and one reason why I am sitting here is because I slept the entire afternoon away. pretty neat. i love afternoon naps! especially when you have been sleep deprived for several nights. camp life is going to be very busy with the upcoming formation healthy lifestyle day which is long for FHLD which is also the timor barat run we are organizing.

The running route is well, err, deserted. On our primary recce we had to bash into thick foliages and bushes of all things to find the route. mind you, we are aiding in the organization of a simple 16-km run. sounds easy? not so when the route is still covered with bushes. that is where the plant engineers come in, I suppose. there's no way I'm going in armed with a parang and you expect me to be a professional grass cutter or whatever shit. and that is just the tip of the ice berg because there are thousand of potholes to fill and a million of sand bags to fill as well. it sucks. and measuring distance and calibrating between us, and HQ and the people up there is always screwed up and a lot of double work is done again and again. sounds bad.

I took off on monday! which is why I am still at home at this present moment. tuesday is intercluster badminton and we're playing ETI, CBRE and 2PDF. I think i'll be representing the bridging cluster. sounds fun. but I got no shoes to play with. I only have my running shoes. my badminton shoes is worn out from the past few years of intense badminton. this sucks.

which reminds me. I ran quite a lot this weekend. 7.2km on saturday and 7.2km today. I am feeling officially accomplished. i want to get fit and that is why I put in extra effort. to aim to pass SOC or get gold for ippt is just cheap thrills/small rewards. I like feeling healthy! I am going to run another 7.2km tomorrow and then it will be time to up my usual runs to 10km each. does 10km sound scary to most people? I don't know. is it really a lot? I am getting really accustomed to 7.2km. im going to make a running log book to clock how much mileage I actually run in a month! so exciting! I ran and it was full moon tonight! and the reflection from the canal (aka simulated river) is so beautiful. the path is so deserted and ulu, so dark yet so mysterious. I love night runs!
