Nothing beats resting your head against the side of the pool during sunset, arms & legs stretched out flapping at the water, looking at the clumps of white/grey clouds stained with red streaks roll by, after a few good laps.
ahhhhh ... this is life ..... *bliss*
Once in a while, excited shouts from the children at the other end of the pool broke my reverie and fellow pool users swam past sending ripples that set me rocking softly, like a piece of fallen leaf on water. So relaxing ...
Nearly forgot how wonderful it felt being in water ! So carefree .. so at peace especially when the kids dont try to playing "catching" in the pool crossing your path while you are gasping for air & trying your darnest to finish the lap. So noisy sometimes ... felt like giving them a jab in their ribs with my "frog-kick". heh..heh..heh...
This has got to be one of the best exercise there is. My back got injured recently ... ai yar .. forgot how I twisted my back but my rock-hard mattress is not to be blamed definitely. I manage to nurse it back with TCM, frequent Chinese massage and swimming. U know the thing with Chinese massage, the more painful it is, the better it feels? Especially when the therapist manage to locate a blocked vein on the back and try to rub the knots away .. Wahhhh .... shiokamania !!
I know Im silly to suspect the weeks of jogging had caused it, but I cant help but link the slight strain on my ankles with my back. *sigh* Could be the wrong way my ankles land and my weight of course. = (
I had been reading up on jogging techniques and apparently the right way to jog is to land on the ball of the feet rather than the heel first. ohh ... did I do it wrongly ?? *shrug* Im doing 4 to 5 km each time now. Hope to hit 10km and join the Shape Run in September. Somemore got free Nike T-shirt and goody bag. *tsk*tsk* Yeah ! 加油! Gambatte !
By the way, does your heel hurts the instance it lands on the floor every morning when you get out of bed ? If you experience this and manage to find a cure for it, please leave me a note. Hmm ... getting old already ...
To those of you who had been nagging at me to blog, U KNOW WHO U ARE ... ha.ha.. Here it is. Enjoy !

Chants for inner peace but secretly aspires to be a *bellydancer*
Laidback but not yet a slacker, nothing captures my attention for long...
