If your wife don't let...

3rd training run:

30 minutes. Battled the scorching sun, a long uphill run, and the same carbon-monoxide-spewing bus 3 times.

2 things I learned:

1. There is a big difference between running on grass and running on asphalt.
2. There is a big difference between running late in the evening and running at 4:30 pm.

As usual, inspirational tale for the day...

Rocky I:

Rocky Balboa loses the fight to Apollo Creed.
The fight was so close, Apollo only won by a split decision.
Apollo won the fight. Rocky won the hearts of many.

Rocky II:

Apollo Creed fixes a re-match.
Rocky's wife ends up in the hospital.
He has to cope with a re-match, a wife in hospital and a new-born baby.
Rocky won't train.
Rocky's coach can't get him to train.

Rocky's wife says one word.
Rocky Balboa gets back into training.
Rocky Balboa trains even harder than before.



3 things you can observe:

1. Rocky has a bigger fan base after a defeat, not a victory.
2. He still gets his apple at the market.
3. He still syok sendiri at the top of the stairs. But not so "sendiri" this time.

3 things we can learn:

1. Winning a fight is not everything.
2. Losing one is not everything either.
3. You need your wife's permission to win :P
