The track and the snails

Dear All,

It has been a while since I last updated my blog anyway I have been busy new job, moving to my own apartment o boy that was so good to have my own space a gain and also I was busy training for the Dhiraagu run held every year here in Male it a one round around Male, the distance is 5.2km not much but he considering it was my first race I ever done and only start running last year November I wanted to make at least a good time.

So 2 month before the run 5 did massive amounts of training in he gym and on the track strengthening my legs improve my endurance and technique and lots of track training with a good friend of mine.

Actually the running track in Male is quite a cool place to be well it is except of one thing people who think it is perfectly okay to walk on a running track WTF yes waking on the inside lane. Well I am not a expert of running etiquette on the track but normally the inside lanes are for people who are actually running and not walking and talking and having a stroll. It DRIVE ME NUTS and most of them are woman why and one you still can still go around but for heavens sake they are walking 3 or 4 wide.

Do they move or speed up or simply go to the outside lanes NO why would they, honestly why would they because as they live in ignorant bliss as they apparently own the track.

So all the runners are either going on the grass to pass them or just on the outside lanes, but when you have speed that is not possible.

Now dear readers this evening I had enough 3 of those snails where leisurely strolling asked them move during running did they NO so on my last sprint they did not move so I bummed in to one of them per accident I must say I simply did go to fast to stop. Anyway as my mother always said to us kids if you do not want to listen than we have to opt for other options.

While during the cool down one of those snails told why did I pushed her friend so I told here why are they walking on the inside lane why that is used for people who are actually exercising and they left... fellow track users where quite amused by the scene and got some looks of approval. A friend of mine told me hopefully they learned a lesson, well I do not think so because those snails are living in ignorant bliss.

This is how I see it I applaud everybody who exercise I really do as it is healthy and it has the possibility to change you live. but please please if you want to walk use the bloody outside lane because 2rd of the users are very much inconvenience by snails on the inside lanes.

O yes how did I do during the run well ended up 15th place so not bad.

And this is how I C it ban the snails from the 2 inside lanes of the running track.
