The things that drive me
And so i have it...finally...after much thoughts and contemplation (well it was not that much actually, it crossed my mind, the bulk of the thought is mostly on, will I have time for it, despite the endless things to do, what would be the purpose of sharing your thoughts and life in an open book yada yada) i'm finally back into the blogging mode.. After maybe, 8 years? Yeah, i was still at my old office the old Jalan Tandang, before i got married... Not much was there, but i used it as a way to challenge my thoughts critically and argue things, intellectually... But now the motivation is different. It transpired from the thought that theres a lack of mother runner blogs out there, in Malaysia.
Been following few of those in the US, which are really inspirational...i dont know how do they really pull that crazy timings... And i rely on those for many things, starting with running while pregnant, then it went on to how to get back to running after your labour, nursing while on the run, how do you cope with both (nursing and running) while not having it at the expense of the other etc etc. Then, when the big day is near (my first ever half marathon), i had to look for few locally related information like how do u do your solah while in a race, i had the sense of obligation of creating a motherly related blog on running..and i noticed my previous valuble running experiences had gone down the drain, without its proper record and recognition...and i myself am not that good at remembering the details myself. Spent some time within this week to go through old files, old email, internet search, and still it ws not a success...but i know my nike plus record would have it, but it's not as good as the official timing... So those are the motivation. And i'd really like to look back, one day, when im old enough and have nothing to do, how i have used my precious time. And if it's somehow being used beneficially, like how i had benefitted from others, that i have frequented, it will be of much pleasure.
Just had my half marathon debut from the non other than Standard Chartered L Marathon...and i think it was a success...given the first hm for me, given how others had had theirs, when it's not really their first (bragging mode on), putting the lovely experience on record is definitely the biggest motivation to establish the blog the most. Well, that will have to wait to another post. Till then, this mom on the run will have to sign off for now...
