084 hitting the road
The last station for IPPT was the 2.4km run. Considering the fact that I have no reason to attempt it as failure is already guaranteed, I lifted my left foot and started running.
Running, sweating profusely and breathless, the demon of laziness was demanding that I fall out.
“Why do you bother to run ? You dun get anything out of this. Are you ashamed of falling behind and coming in last ? You could be enjoying a can of cold cool 100plus. You will start to regret it as you start aching tomorrow…. etc etc “
Yet I persisted.
In the end, I was the last, even the PTI in charge of the station had started packing up, thus leaving my actual timing unknown.
Yet I was happy.
I started, I ended. Cheers.
Prologue
2 months ago, MIG (men in green) computer system had been sending one SMS per week reminding me to take my annual IPPT. And last month, the frequency increased to 2 twice a week and these last 2 weeks, every 2 days. And upon considering the fact that its not worth 50 bucks and the hassle of digging out my Greens to delay the inevitable RT, I went for a IPPT yesterday.
Never did pass any non-ICT IPPT before, and this one was no different. I suppose anyone that’s not severely obese can pass if they put in some effort to train. Exercising had never been part of my life style, discounting golf and other passive sports that I have picked up along the way, so I guess RT is the only way that can drum it into me. Anyway, I have already gathered my band of “fallen” green brothers to attend my future RTs, so it should be fun, albeit a troublesome way to jumpstart a health routine.
