ibrah dari eksiden

with the right perspective, i could learn a whole lot of lessons from this not-so-tragic accident that i had abit more than a week ago. but since i just finished watching the marathon Nadal-Nole AO12 final, i think i'll just stick to the theme.

if there's one thing that i can now understand, it is about how a professional athlete, like footballers, would feel when he's out injured. ever since i started this running regime (and other workouts), i think i can't recall the last time i was out injured this long. the last serious injury that i can recall is when i rolled on my ankle playing basketball. but that was when i was still in my 3rd year. back then, i have not started my almost daily workout.

so, imagine, you've been working out almost everyday for the past 1 year or so. and suddenly you're not doing it not by choice (which happens quite often also... but that's understandable), but due to factors that you can't control. such as an accident that no one would want to happen to them. causing injury. and you're out for so long, you just don't know what to do.

and i just watched Rafa-Nole laboured super-human-ly across the entire 6-hour match, until one guy emerged victorious. makes me feel itchy to go back to do what i enjoy doing. to play tennis on weekends. to go for a run on a treadmill (not so much enjoyment... but still).

at least the running. but i can't even walk properly right now.

sometimes i feel like i'm useless. not completely useless as in tak-guna kinda. but when you're so used to do something and suddenly you just are not able to do it due to factors that you can't control...

... bengang jugak kot.

but i dare not risk aggravating my injury, if i rushed myself. i just can't imagine being sidelined for a longer period than i already am now.
