good news, bad news
kumusta naman ang 157lbs? i weighed in late afternoon yesterday and found myself a lot lighter than i had expected. even after being sidelined from the gym and from running for two weeks due to fevers and post-akiki pains, i chalked off a few more pounds from my weight! early this month, i set some humble goals for myself, one of which was to get down to 155lbs by the middle of february. now, that looks like something i could do within this week. of course, i haven't been running as much as i should, precisely because of these weekenders, and 10kms a week isn't enough, but then, i've (nearly) accomplished half of the bargain, so i am not complaining. it's not like i'm preparing to run a marathon or anything.
now for the bad news: i realized just last saturday that i had lost my TNF jasper canyon boots. yes, the boots i purchased late october last year, and which are still fresh, having taken part in only five climbs. i don't understand it, actually, because i very distinctly remember that i took it from under the seat when i got off the bus, and even took it out of the taxi when i offloaded my bag at home. i vaguely recall that i was holding on to it when i went inside the gate. or i may just have been disoriented, and none of those things happened. the boots are more than eight thousand bucks, for crying out loud (although i wouldn't tell my mom how much they were when she asked me). i spent the whole of saturday sulking. i kept looking into nooks and crannies of the house, inside corners and behind tables and chairs, hoping it may just have been misplaced. i upturned boxes and things. but no expensive jasper canyon boots. so, my solution? i'm buying a new pair. i've made reservations with TNF mall of asia for a size 11. i'm so depressed about the loss, i don't think getting my osprey atmos 65 later tonight is going to perk me up. i'm not even sure if spending another eight thousand is going to do the trick, but whatever.
