The Sunday running encounter

Scheduled 22.53km run today.  I've improved.  So happy.  But before we get to that, lets rollback for a bit.

The night before, I slept at 10pm.  After watching episode 2 of the tv series Touch.  This series is nice, it's that dood from 24, right?  I don't really like him but somehow this one is good.  Woke up at 11pm twice because of nightmare.  Trying to recall if I watched any weird horror movies lately.  Somehow, it was a creepy weird dream.  It's like I was going to a public toilet and the shower in one were on and next thing you know somebody is choking me.  Dafuq.  I can't brain this.  I couldn't sleep after that.  My alarm was set at 2am.  So for 2 hours I was looking at the ceiling.  Sad case of being scared.  My sis went to Kundasang with her friend.  I would have gone if I don't have scheduled run today.

Finally get off from the bed around 2:05am, you know that feeling when you get extremely hungry that you feel empty inside?  That was my morning feeling.  So, I thought maybe my final medicine for the rib pain made me hungry.  Hey, I had dinner the night before and that doesn't seem to cover the whole emptiness.  Showered, ate 3 bananas and drink water.  Feel slightly better.  Did some browsing till 3:20am.  Stomach ache, went to the toilet twice.  Oh lord.



Left home at 3:45am, meet up with Daniel, but before that, went to the toilet again.  ARGH!  WTH!

Then I thought, screw this shit, I'm just gonna run and complete it.  I've separated the 2km warm up from the actual mile to cover so I could at least maintain my pace cause it only shows your average pace, if include the 2km, my garmin will keep beeping like crazy from beginning till the end.  I wasn't sure how far I should be going and when I should turn but then decide I'll turn once I reach my final 10km countdown.  But reaching 11km countdown seems just about right.  Tripped on a rock at km 12.  FML.  I nearly fell but manage to keep my balance and kept going.  Doesn't seem to have any problem.

In my head, okay, final 10km.  I can do this!  Yeah I maange to push through till I started getting a little bit hungry at the final 7km or was it 8km.  And I started walking a bit but run again once the twitch is gone.  Pass the Yayasan Sabah bridge, a stranger stop and waited for me and ask if he could join me run.  I just went pass him cause he gave me this weird creepy vibe.  There were other runners around but at the opposite road.  So I thought okay, I'm just gonna finish this at below 7 mins pace.  Run walk run walk all the way.  At my final 4km, I hear somebody behind me.  Then when I stopped for a walk, the same fellow was walking and talking to me. Ask if he could be my friend.  I said no and tried to catch my breath.  I think I said no to most of his questions and finally said "Okay, I'm gonna finish up my run now, bye". And sped all the way back.  Who cares if I was tired, that was creepy.  FML.

At least he wasn't chasing me.

My final 2km, tripped and sprained the right ankle again when trying to cross the road.  I think a bunch of people in cars saw me nearing to fall down.  Just keep going!  At least, I completed my 20.53km at 6:59 mins pace.  Hope I won't encounter the same fellow next week ARGH.  Creepy shit.  I need bodyguards from now on.

Gonna ice my right ankle later and hot pack for the left rib lol.  Not fully healed, but it's getting better.
