On the eve of my 51st birthday, I felt abundance of energy left.

Even though in the morning I have completed 20 km of virtual riding, I still felt the urge of running.

Hence, I ran. And I pushed it hard. Applying my racing pace, I ran the Kompleks Keuangan Loop for 5 km.

Kind saying to myself:

“I ain’t getting older. Not yet”.

“I can still do this shit”

“And I’ll get better”

Sometimes I’m wondering. If I adopt this fitness regime 10 years ago, what would I be?

Maybe I’ll complete the Six Major Marathons.

Maybe I’ll do Full Ironman.

Maybe I’ll have much better body build and muscles.

Yeah, maybe. But certainly I’m not going any younger. And there must be decrease of performance and ability along with it. A bit depressing sometimes to think about it. But I guess it’s all law of nature we need to accept.

But as long as I feel I still have no physical disabilities, I refuse to back down. I’ll continue to work hard to meet my Sports Resolution. For better health. Body and mind.

Happy birthday, old man.
