Whirling Monday

Indeed, the day passes like a whirlwind for me, fortunately. Like most people, my Mondays at work are typically hectic and assiduous but nevertheless always busy enough to shield the blues away. Phew. Well I prefer this way actually, to keep my brain cells constantly active rather than feeling laggard at work.

It is also a whirling situation today - for my head. For some reasons, I seem to be hallucinating that the earth is shaking and this unfounded paranoia eventually led to my headache. Sometimes, I feel this way too when I'm lying on my bed in the late night, when everything had settled down in stillness. Darn. Could this be the aftermath of the tremors I experienced some times back due to Sumatra's earthquake? The thought of it still petrifies me a little. Silly me. I always think too much and way too hard.

And yes... I'm thinking hard whether to join the Sundown Marathon or not. Running 42 km in May? Call me crazy! Hey, I might really be crazy enough to register for the run. I didn't forget that one of the resolutions in 2008 I'd set for myself is to be able to run a full marathon, though May is way much earlier than I expected. Look, if I can complete a full marathon in May, then Standard Chartered marathon will be my 2nd marathon! Wow.. 2 marathons in a year. That's beyond remarkable in my context. And for your info, the 84km run is CLOSED for registration. Do you now have any idea on why people loves running to the extreme? I mean I really have passion for running, but not to this extent. Hee.

Now, can I do it in May? Definitely, if I start serious training now. But I do not want running to be too serious cuz it shouldn't be the case. Can some seasoned marathon runners enlighten me how I can commence my training... like now?

I hope procrastination doesn't kill me.
