A slightly different jog...

Yesterday morning, it was raining garfields and Scooby-doos*. Later in the day, it was still still raining… but it was raining only hello kitties and snoopies*. Finally, it stopped in the late evening. These few days, it became a rare sight to see dry unsheltered roads/pavements. Though the tracks were still wet, I decided to go jogging. The breeze was very cooling and nice. Really!

Pushed myself a little more today. Xian was slow but I was even slower… keke… so he had to wait patiently by the “grandstand” which was nowhere near grand and help to feed a few hungry mosquitoes. Felt a little accomplished. I did a little warm down stretches and left. However, about half way through the journey home, I felt giddy and felt like vomiting. Quickly took slow deep breaths… felt a little better after about five minutes. After which, I felt the tingling numbness & slight stiffness (the latter is a scarier sensation, unfelt before) in both hands and legs... So I quickly move my toes... close and open my fists... and slowly both hands and legs slowly went back to function in their normal mode... (When I think back, I think I know why my hands & legs felt this way...)

I don’t think it’s dehydration… possibly energy depletion/weariness with low blood flow to brain. Next time I need to stock some energy bars & fluid… and possibly lying down with leg raised to get blood to flow to brain faster…

I'm still alive and kicking... so don't worry.

*The author found it too boring to use 'raining cats and dogs' - have been using it in compositions and essays from primary to secondary schools... that's why u see garfields and scooby-doos, hello kitties and snoopies now. Btw, the author don't like hello kitties & scooby-doos but couldn't think of any other...
