i've a place to show you. it's our new route for running. i drove past this road everytime i went back to my parents' home in the village but never thought of going running on it. there were some joggers and runners on the road but i still didn't give it a try. last sunday, we didn't go to the playground bc py didn't want to, so we went to this road. it was quiet, breezy and shady. i went there with my bike and i was glad that i wore my running shoes. i biked there while my sis, phun and her hubby rode a motorcyle.. i am so happy that my dad fixed my bike (yeah, wim.. it was finally fixed!!)..

i biked there with my camera hanging on my right shoulder. i was ready to stop anywhere if i want to snap some photos. i love the old feeling of the wind blowing against my face and the free feeling of being back on the saddle again..

when we got there, we parked the bike and motorcycle and then started to walk leisurely. i didn't aim to run that afternoon becuase i already went out running in the morning with my sister. but the road was so new and smooth and i couldn't resist. i handed eddy to my sis and started running for 10 mins. it felt so good. (you will get the feeling if you are a runner yourself. what you need is just a nice pair of running shoes and a place to run..) next time when we go out running again, my sis and i are going to come here..

monday morning, i drove back to my shop and decided to take a break from running for a day. my hips and back are horribly aching due to carrying too many dirt to fill the pool. i couldn't believe i worked that long.. i just wanted to accompany my dad while he was working nearby laying bricks for my bathroom.. i kept working until i was beat and retreated into the house.. after all the sweaty works, i somehow like the aching feeling on my back and hips..

today, i got back on the treadmill but just a quick 20 mins and i could make it to 2.7 miles. then, i did 100 crunches. i chopped it into 50/50. i couldn't do 100 in a row but i will be able to do it soon.. the hard work seems to pay off. i start to see my tummy is getting a bit flat and hard. it works, so i bet i have to keep on doing it.. i bought a new bikini and i want to look fab in it.. there is another summer trip waiting and we have booked a nice hotel with a big big pool and near the beach. i can't wait to get darker again. but this time, i swear i will wear more sunblock and more often. not the dark skin that bothers me but the ichy skin that i had to scratch while sleeping.. and you know what, the first stop after leaving home at 4 am and after the long drive, we are going to stop and stay 1 night in Hua-Hin! yeah, i am going back to Hua-Hin again..

now, i've kickstarted my day with running and warning up my writing with this blog.. it's time to get back to translation and be done with it.. before i am too lazy to do it.. have a lovely tuesday you lovely people..

Beautiful! The first pic looks a little bit like the side of the road where I walk (can't run...too hard on my leg...) You're definitely giving me some competition on exercise, I need to get moving.
