Runners, runners everywhere! All ages, sizes, shapes, paces, colours! When it's dark, when it's bright, when it's sunny, when it's raining, when it's hot, when it's windy.. We don't care! The running heat has definitely hit Penang. See old friends, meet up with new ones - Running takes you places and gets you associated with people you never would have thought you'd ever be able to click with. Runners! Some wave, some don't. Some stare at the ground, others gaze at the sky. Some steady, some plodding. Some say "GOOD MORNING" with a happy smile, others keep quiet and look the other way. Some listen to music, some use their breathing as the cadence for their stride. But always running. 'Cos we don't ever stop.
It's nice to be a Runner (note R in upper case). Today at almost every corner I turned, I saw runners I know, others that I don't. It's always great to get an encouraging smile or a high-five or a thumbs up or a "Good job!". Or even a surprised and confused "Oh my God you little girl.. You are everywhere! Stop scaring us!"
I think I hit 83km this week.
The funniest part of today was when I had finished running and was sitting down in front of my car parked along Gurney Drive when I suddenly saw two very fast runners looking super steady followed by Sam a few metres behind who was also looking in great form with his recognisable metronome ticking along.
"HI SAM!" I called out.
The first thing he said before any Hello or Good Morning was "CRAZY WAN THEY ALL.. 4 SOMETHING YOU KNOW!" while waving emphatically to the two men in front of him.
Hahahahahah!
I don't know why but I just find that funny.. Sam, if they were running at 4 something pace, that means you were running at 4 something too because you were very close behind them :)
