This is where I define myself
♥
Mardy thrives in sunshine filled days just like the plastic solar plant on your dashboard. Gets regular doses of drugs from her running shoes (no high like a runners' high). Dares to be different. Is generally happy albeit those typical daily complaints. Smiling doesn't hurt, plan to do it more often.

Sunday, February 22, 20091:56 AMThe girl who likes to run.
Haven't been updating because I had no mood. I haven't received any calls from them yet. I'm so nervous and anxious you can't imagine. In the meantime my iGoogle is flooded with searches about the company. I want this really, really badly. Imagine, I take every opportunity to pray to Allah so He would let me get in. I sure hope good Been busy, most definitely. I went to Noi's bowling event for the first time, and I had such a great time! Though I was the WORST bowler of the entire game haha.
Moments like this you can't help but feel utterly gratefull you have a great bunch of friends who know how to have serious fun whatever the occasion is. Today I went to Mid Valley to hunt for a cropped cardigan that matches my dress. My friends and I have a dinner party next week, just an excuse to dress up. I found one, sadly its not cropped. It's cheap (RM30) and the right color, so I'm happy. I also bought a really pretty top with a lot of embroidery and crochet on it. So pretty couldn't resist. I ate lunch at Subway, and had a yummy juice drink at Juice Works, the stall beside the escalator near Dorothy Perkins. I managed to get rid of my Baskin and Robbins Old Fashioned Butter Pecan craving by drinking that. Went home and hunted for songs for my running playlist and when that's done, I ran. I was a bit dissappointed I couldn't finish 6 rounds, only 5, but I listened to my body. On my fifth round my chest and insides were already quivering, a stitch was about to break. I had to push myself to finish it. What got me running, was not just the fact that I was gaining weight and I don't want to look like walrus by the time I'm 25, but also because of this: I feel like I want to be a runner when I view these adverts. I used to HATE running because I had no patience for it. It was like a chore to me when I was an athlete, since my coach made us run as a part of our training. Now I feel like I'm no longer running to lose, but to be able to run for miles. I do enjoy the fact that the pounds are making the much awaited exit from my body. But what thrills me the most, is to set a goal and to reach it. To push myself to complete the laps properly. And to add on more laps as I go on, every week. I only stop when my body begins to feel heavy, my chest starts to sting. When that happens I finish the last lap and cool down with a fast walk. There's something about running, about looking at women running in advertisements and commercials for sportswear. Runners are people with determination, discipline and focus. I identify with them, because I was an athlete. Athletes think differently from people who exercise for fun or to lose weight. They love the thrill of accomplishing, the euphoria of winning, and the adrenaline after completing a successfull training session. I miss that. I want that back. I want to call myself an athlete again. The day when I signed up for my first marathon and managed to complete it, is the day I know I've become a true runner. So that is my aim. I want to fence again too. Though it might be too late for me to enter SUKMA games (I'm too old for SUKMA), but at least I can still compete in Women's Epee during Malaysian Open. One of the prominent signs that I've become a runner, is that after my Jurisprudence test, I quickly went back home to change into my sweats and trackies and ran six rounds. While my best friends scratch their heads wondering where did I go, I was putting on my running shoes. I just didn't care about anything else at that moment. Turns out they were planning to have dinner and dessert together and wanted me to come along. Did I regret the fact that I didn't stay and follow them? Not one bit. I would regret it more if I didn't run that day and stuffed my face with fried chicken and cake instead. This is serious business. I'm not doing it too look cool. This best describes me:
