running running running

I considered running away today,
To leave all my worries behind,
I considered running away today,
Then I changed my mind.
I thought about running away today,
How could I get there fast?
I thought about running away today,
That plan didn't last.
I am going to run away today,
I've had enough of my life here,
Packed my bags to run away today,
Didn't go because of fear...

8X1.2km is a real killer! I know I have said this many many times but I just can't stop harping about it!It's the ultimate test of one's mental strength and perserverance man! You just run on and on without looking,listening,caring about anything,just running onwards in order to complete the rounds and end the deep wheezes and throbbing pains at your side. All throughout I just have to keep telling myself," Come on come on! For the love of running...come on just a bit more!" I'm so glad it's over. But somehow I still love this training- it's the most numbing and precisely because it forces you not to think about anything except the run,it kinda works as the best anti-depressant *small smile* Many thanks to Megan,Siew Min,Sui Hui and Si Ling(year 3) for their undying encourages and "Come on keep up!"s :)

Realisation of the day: It's much much more effective if you study in school with your friends than at home alone,where you are faced with the alluring temptations of the bed and the blank TV or computer screens...In school,you will instead be faced with the hard-set faces of your friends scribbling notes and ploughing through their tutorials,and you will feel the urge to do so as well. Besides you can always seek help if you need it...

I'm running this race...
The end is not in sight.
I'm running this race
not for the ending,
but for what I will experience along the way.
