Back to running

I really gotta start kicking my own ass and get myself up for running more often these days. I don't know what heppened to my motivation every morning when I supposed to wake up for a run. Fats are building up in every part in my body, and there're races coming up soon.

So I finally got myself up for a run this arvo at TTDI park. When I was about to finish my first loop, saw a runner collapsed on the ground. Many people were seen standing around her while 2 persons were attending to her. As it was already so crowded, I didn't want to be the "busybody" and stand around to look. So I proceed on with my run and hope that she'll get neccessary help. Second loop came back, she's still lying on the ground. Third loop, good thing, there's help coming. An ambulance came and a medic ran towards her direction. Guess they did a quick job. Fourth loop came back, she's been taken away. I could only wish that nothing major happens to her. Geez... I've seen runners collapsed during race event, but this is the first time seeing a runner collapsed during a leisure run. She seems young and fit, it's a shame that this happened to her during a leisure run.

That incident aside, my run was crap! Could only do 4 loops at the park today. I need to push harder on my next run!
