The Wall - Part 1

This write up would really have a lot of sequels. In running jargon, the wall is defined as a part of our run that we face extreme physical exhaustion like cramps, painful runner's knee or any body pain that could lead us to slow down a bit in the race or even quit the race. In my own crazy mind, I define the wall as a point were you get lazy, as in lazy as a fat pig. You don't want to do the training that you've plan to do. All you want is to doze off in the bed, eat junk and be a couch potato again and making your fitness level weak.

So, let start the ball rolling. I'm in the middle of the freaking cubicle nation. The other day, I was a bit envy that I saw couple of runners and a cyclist along my way going home. I could feel their bodily rhythm that I wanted to run as well but could not since I'm not my gear. So I decided to pack my running gear as I arrived home and excited to run next day since I haven't run for few days since I was so busy and got sick in flabby tummy.

The day came in, I headed to work with big brown back pack with my running gear. I started the with the usual routine. Lunch came in and as usual lunch time is the most awaited part of my day at work. Lunch is reward time, we get refresh ourselves. I chow down my self with laing, dumplings and rice. I felt sleepy afterwards. Sleepy and then I became a bit grumpy like a kid that wanted to sleep the entire day. A couple of hours, I decided myself not to run for today. I was stuck on the wall. A huge wall separated myself from excitement to ungodly routine.

The day ended again with zero mileage. I'm a bit pessimistic now if I could make it to my goals by next run. I'm a bit sad and bit mad to myself. I know that my enemy is truly myself and no one else. As I began my stubbornness, I took a deep breathe and closed my eyes and said to myself. This is enough. Don't procastrinate since I have a lot of time to do things. Life is short so make the most it. I guess I need a day off from running like lovers who needs to cool off.

I met my training's wall. So sad that didn't run.
