the world's heart day

i was awaken quite early today, just right enough for my subuh prayer. feeling so immobilized and unatheletic in the couple of days due to my fever, i decided to spent the earliest mornings todays, running 5km at tasik titiwangsa. I managed to override some of the great runners in the mornings, which mostly consists of tough and muscular guys.

i was drenched in sweats when it has reaches the last meters of the run. There's a big crowd in the stadium titiwangsa, some was at the astaka, and some was at the tennis court. There were all wearing a very nice blue tshirt, that has a very nicely drawn heart at the back. I was thinking about joining them for the aerobics, when i suddenly realized that most of them are old people, maybe in their late forties and fifties.

So, i started to think back why is it only the oldies who cares about heart? and what happened to the youngsters. still sleeping , i guess.

since i went out jogging and sometimes running, and practising pacings every evening, providing that its not raining, i reliazed that that the tasek itself has been a sanctuary for couples to go out , datings, walking on the jogging track, which definitely annoys me cause it really blocks my way. They don't really care to ever use the nice heart of theirs, to do some sporting activities while the circulation is still good.

This is one thing i learnt in one of those medicine and society lecture during my first year, is that as a doctor we need to promote health prevention, like what im doing now, jogging. But i guess none of them really sees me doing that, maybe when diseases start to strike, they'll be more alert. We'll see.
