Nearly dead

My life on earth nearly ended today. Went for my usual outdoor run today. I still haven't fully recovered from the late nights..all it took was 1 night to upset my entire system and sleep cycle. Though I have still been diligently waking up early to exercise, my energy level has depleted a little due to lack of shut-eye. Instead of the usual 6.6km, I ran 4.4km today.

Just about after the 2nd km, I wasn't cautious about the uneven road and stepped on a loose stone. I momentarily twisted my right ankle, tripped and rolled on to the road like a tumbleweed. And what do you know? That happened just right infront of a moving schoolbus. Thank God it stopped in time. Thank God also that I wasn't mowed by the bus... Thank God Hsiung was a little ahead of me and helped to break my fall, if not I'd be rolling further down the road right up to TMC. Just right after the fall, I picked myself up and continued to run the remaining 2.2km.

I sustained some scrapes and bruises on my right knee. Back in 2002, I fell during the Power Run race and had a bad scrape on my left knee which eventually developed into a keloid. Now both my knees are scarred. I hope this one won't turn into a keloid considering that my skin doesn't heal very well.

Anyway, it's great I'm alive to blog about this!
