Physically unfit


I am an unfit person.

I really am.

Ever since i was a kid, it just seems that sport was not written into my blood.

And to make matters worse, it was the skinny me like 2 years ago, and now im just a fat slob. A big fat slob.

And to make matters even more worse, my diet now consists of pizza, mcdonalds, pizza, pizza, and even more pizza.

That was only the body, on the physical ability kind of thing, im alwayz amazed how people think im athletic. When they see me for the first time, they always think that im a fit, sport person and that i play basket ball and soccer all the time.

No i am not.

In fact, i am terrible at basket ball and soccer, and this is the truth. Most of the time it would be me sprinting along once chasing the ball and then struggling to make it back into the other half.

The problem is, people just dont trust me when i said i suck at those games. They insist on me playing, and after i reluctantly plays, the "you suck" comments starts coming in.

You dont say.

To picture how i look everytime i play a sport, take a look at the picture below. Im sure you've seen this balloon before.




Thats exactly how i look. Tall, stupid, with arms flailing about everywhere, like an idiot, everytime i run.

So i dont play any indonesian sport. No soccer, no basketball, no badminton, no volley ball, no golf, no ping-pong, and definitely no panjat pinang.

The only sport i play is cricket. Thats it. One and only. And mind you, im nowhere near good at it too, not even average.

Despite how physically unfit i am,i quiet like running. Surely i run out of breath after like 2 minutes of it, but i just enjoyed it somehow. Which is why last year i took part on the crazy 10KM run in jakarta.

Now everytime i hit the treadmill, i only managed to run as far as 4 km. And that was only because there was this hot chicks next to me and i wasnt about to give up then would i :p

So you can imagine how i did in the 10 Km run. I think i did ran 4 km on my feets, 2 km walking, and another 4 km on an ambulance, getting a CPR.

Not really. I did it in about 90 minutes, which was pretty slow. The average person usually can do it in about 60 minutes.

So there you go. Despite all of my unfit-ness thing, im proud of 1 thing and 1 thing only. I have never been hospitalized in my life. Hell, my friend is a gym junkie, body well built, and he's been hospitalized almost every month of his life.

While me, who's exercise is only blinking my own 2 eyes, is healthy as it is.

Alhamdulillah.
