Welcome Back

I'm finally back on my routine to be the runner and morning person, which is a relief. Hadn't been running for a while -  one whole month went to war zone and a good two months of sabbatical in Maldives. Sorry, I have no pictures to share.

It's nice to run again, feeling the wind on my face, the adrenalin rush and improve my endurance. The environment still the same. That said, one particular tree fell down, blocking the path, with its roots got pulled out from the ground. It seems intended, but was it real human doing or nasty nature side? I couldn't tell.

It was still there, on the second day I visited the park. An old tree with its remaining roots spreading about the ground, like an old witch's long wrinkled fingers, with greenish veins seems apparent through the thin layer of pale skin. I have no idea how will the person responsible take care of it. I wish the tree never fell but stood tall, as it was an old yet a strong tree.

It never disappoints me to see the regulars again as this reflects their energies and endurance. Hats off to them!

New faces brushed off my shoulder. I assumed they were fresh meats. Yes, it's common to see these gung-ho newbies during the early start of first year, first semester. New life, new goals, it's tabula rasa! To amuse myself, like the reality game show: who stays, who goes? Well, time will tell! :P

My body invariably feel great after a good, nice sweat! Time to hit the shower!
