Just Barely Breathing
Just barely breathing, and what comes to mind? That Killswitch Engage song?
I AM just barely breathing, not metaphorically but literally. I am having difficulties getting that nice deep breath, like you get a high on clean, pure air. It has been difficulty lately, ever since I can remember. I don't remember when this breathing difficulty started but I wished it would stop. Running however helps, I have no difficulty running distance despite this difficulty in breathing. Probably, running helps but I wouldn't know. I have to get professional help soon. Have to seek the MO, make use of free medical facilities in camp while I am in still in SAF and before I make the transition to civil-hood.
I have also finally found new motivation. An impeccable inspiration that manifests itself as Lance Armstrong. A cancer survivor, a loving husband and a filial son. He fought testicular cancer, absolutely wiping them out and then garnered 7 Tour De France victories. If Lance can do it, so can I. Not fight cancer but overcoming obstacles. I am thoroughly inspired by his book, It's Not About the Bike, It's About the Journey Back to Life that I am gonna pledge US$10 for cancer research by getting a pack of 10 LIVESTRONG armbands and probably selling the remaining 9 off and make a profit. *grin*
Having my Tug of War match-up at CNB tomorrow with OETI (only eat talk and idle) at 9am. And if we overcome unfavourable odds, we'd battle against the other semi-finals winner for the championship. Truth is, I have little confidence, most of the team have commitments and I doubt we could even field a full 560kg let alone win. Fuck. I need the offs badly, off running low, so is my leave.
