Real Run 2006
Been training hard for my 10 click runs for past weeks and it dint fail me.=) I DID IT!!! My first REAL RUN!!its real!! =D Arrived alittle after flaged off at about 750am coz of traffic jam. But when we walked in, there were still pple hanging ard as if it havent started..Still many many pple all clogged up at the start pt. Slowly, we joined the Q after we're done with our stretching.
Run?No place to run for the first 100m..i jogged on the spot, pat my buddy good luck, and try my best to squeeze thru the crowd to start running...ran ran ran...up and down slope.."keep going" i told myself. 100 plus!WOO!"carry on!" Overtake! faster! hang on! Patience! and i reached the beach..."this is it!i cannot walk!carry on!!" as more n more pple stopped to walk once they entered the sand route, blocking my way, tempting me to stop too. I kept sliding and sinking up and down the soft and deep sand...i felt strain in my ankle, i ran as carefully as i can to avoid spraining my injured ankle..the sun was burning hot but still bearable, but the sand it driving me nuts..."COME ON COME ON!!"i kept on telling myself all the way... Finally, i ended the sand routes and i ran towards the road with great excitement and shackness. 100plus! WOO!! Drink drink and run!!! Off i went again.."i cant stop now.." started the trail part congested...cut cut cut...run run run...getting giddy running left right up down and around....As i heard the marshals saying its the last 1km...i felt rather excited. But not knowing if i can make it, i ran conservatively..Then a couple of guys started overtaking me..i followed on, i started sprinting...and i started to hear cheers and noise...i saw the finishing pt!!OFF i SPRINT!!!Faster and faster i ran yet i had to control my speed coz there were so many guys in front of me i almost knocked into them! WOOO!!! I DID IT!!! I felt super shiok when i completed it...a great sense of achievement and satisfaction i felt. I felt happy, excited and GREAT! I did it!! My 1st real run! =P The run keep playing in my mind...as i open my eyes and realised im so proud of myself. I felt abit wasted coz i still have energy left for another rd..meaning i could had run faster just now. But well, i dint hog on it too long...coz its my first attempt. I'll be back again next yr, with a better idea and run. Neway i did much better than i expected..im contented. ^-^
Thoughts
Alot of happenings nowadays that my mind seems to be in a whirl every single moment. Life, work, family, friends, love, passion, self. Seeing and feeling what life is at this phase of life. Issues to face that tells you its time to grow up or you're not as young as you were. Certain things are beyond ur control. Certain fear you need to face and overcome. Certain issues you thought you'll never deal with again. Certain disturbance that starts to disturb your supposedly peaceful life you're leading. Realisation. Stronger...
