But I really don’t.
I get off work anytime from 4.30 to 5.30pm. I try to pick my children up from 6pm onwards. My commuting time is 40-45 mins.
Once I’m back home, I am with my children every step of the way until their bedtime around 10.30-11pm.
In Singlish, we have a particular phrase that suits this situation perfectly. You may not understand Singlish, but I’m sure you can work out the meaning of this phrase.
Where got time?
Did you know that solar panels are installed on train tracks in some part of Switzerland? That’s ingenious. The common space fulfilling a dual purpose. I brought up this random example because that’s what I did after scrutinising my daily routine.
Normally, I walk to the subway station after school dismissal. Why don’t I run instead?
It requires some effort on my part. I have to change into my running attire at school, endure curious enquiries from my colleagues and make sure that my work bag isn’t heavy. Yet another thing to think about during the day.
And the workout isn’t as intense as I would have liked. My run to the subway station takes 15 minutes. Small fry. Easy peasy.
But I guess anything is better than nothing. If I work to exert my heart and make it pump faster, I should theoretically age slower. I’m doing the best I can. 👌
So, what’s your running routine like?
