Run..

Not been running for so long...

SBR Army Half Marathon is coming near, so got to start running again..
will try to run almost everyday.. short runs.. and longer distance EOD..
that's what i planned la.... but i got feeling can never actualize... heheehe.

Last year, kevin accompanied me throughout the whole 21km, even though he signed up for 10km. But this year, think i doing it on my own.
I must try to finish it in less than 3hrs.
But the rate i ran for 10km took me about 1hr 30mins, based on my last saucony passion run.. How possible??

This morning.. i started off slow, yet i felt breathless.. after 3km.. how?

My seretide is finishing..
My ventolin is somewhere around the house..

I hardly have asthma attack these days....
the last attack was 2yrs back, while running the SBR.. at 17km, and was told that i will be banned from running.. but who cares..
i still signed up the following year..
after that last attack, no more attacks, but experience episodes of shortness of breath . . hyperventilating.. which is no good, i know... but i really want to run.

So this morning, i leisurely ran my usual route, stopped by the supermarket.
Sick of the kopitiam food at the hospital. So this evening, we gonna feast on seafood pasta... as promised. Hoped Candy and Manru like it.

and a nice portion for kevin :)

Falls..

Received this mms of my chubby nephew, Idris and his cutie little sister, Khatijah aka Dora. Think they were at the Jurong Bird Park, during the last school break. This is the only way my brother update me of their kids.. how fast they have grown.. up and wide :)
Lately Idris, fell somewhere at his housing multi-storey carpark, and maybe sustained a closed fracture.. minor one, hairline maybe, but he was on full cast over his leg, left or right, i was not told. He already got it off sometime last week. But i am still wondering how he look like with the cast, and with no clutches ..wonder how he ambulate with the full cast from above his knees down to his below his ankle.

And last week, my 87 yr old ah gong fell on his way back home. He fell on grass patches next to the small long-kang. He tripped and lost balance. Think he fell side ways.. Thank God, there's a kind passer-by, a lady helped him up, walked him to his flat, a few doors away. My ah gong is quite heavy.. luckily he lives on the ground floor. By the time, she reached gong's doorstep, she has no strength, she dropped to the floor together with gong, only then she shouted for help. Whoever this lady was..big thank you!

He got minor laceration on his left shin and a slight blue-black on the left side of his head. He refused to seek medical attention, so we're not gonna force him too.

He is alright for now, walking with the aid of the walking frame. Have strongly advised my in-laws' family member who lives with him to take gong to the doctors if he complaints of giddiness, fainting, headache, vomits,etc..

me and my in-laws :)

We took his parents and grandparents out for dinner.. a once a month a thingy thing we try to do best. But most of the time, we took Gong out more often as he lives away from the rest. Took them to Toa Payoh Fork and Spoon for Stewed Beef Noodle, dry or soup or curry.. Very authentic. I recommend to all, must try.
Think it was one of the first dinner together after very long time.. after Gong discharged from TTSH recovering from intestinal obstruction and Papa's closed fractured wrist. See the bandage there. Mama on the other hand, having fever on that night. And, Popo.. well, she is cute as ever like Hello Kitty.. she's the healthiest among them all. Alhamdullillah.

hmm.. who is looking after who now that the younger ones are less healthier than the elderly.
