The Power of the "Skirt"

Lying half-alive on my bed and having blister on my left foot. The reason is me once again being too "hao lian" and to join xj, eg & web for the run at bedok reservoir which was 8.5km long. The usual routine would be 1 round which is around 4.3km. (That's if I make the effort to join in!!)
The four of us met up ard 7.40pm where xj mentioned that she wanted to try 2 rounds today. Hmm..that made my eyes tickle at the thought already. Never had I run 2 rounds Bedok reservoir for the past 25 years. But man, no choice but to continue as face is too big to be lose...hahaha!!
I decided to conserve some energy during the first round and at the end of it, I had hope that xj will want to stop and call it a day. However, life in reality does not always go the way I want it to be. The engine had just started to accelerate and we just had to continue running. Oh my God!! Save me...I had not run more for the past 2 mths or maybe even more.
During the second round, the 500m sign apart seem to get longer and longer. There were times when I had wanted to give up but looking at the back of the gal, I simply had no choice but to continue running, running and running. Somehow or rather, this theory seem to apply to life also. There will always be times when we felt that we cannot move on, but there will be that someone or something to give us the strength to continue pushing forward or perservere till the end. So what's the one special thing that can motivate us in life? Maybe it's what eg had said, the power of the "skirt".
Luckily, xj decided to walk during the last 100m of the second round and I can of course start to walk as well. Thanks God, I managed to survive through another obstacle again. My "face" was saved once again...haha!! Anyway, eg kept persuading xj to come to Bedok frequently for a run as he believe that it will motivate his "mans" to run more frequently and also more distance as well. Haiz....is it a good thing or bad thing? Hmm.....
