I DID IT!

Yipee!! We did it!

My First official 10km run. Flag off was 730am though we started late for very glam reasons - we need to pee... haha...

My only objective for this mizuno race was to complete 10km without stopping as i haven't ran in ages. Since at least a month ago where i didn't even complete the run. And i haven't even been running regularly. Late Sat Nights and world cup didn't help at all :p And somemore, i suspect i'm puttin on weight.. AHH!!!

The 1st 2.5km was fast. Probably coz energy's high, lots of new stuffs going around. The next 2.5km became slower as i just kept telling myself "Slow and Steady". The pace from Cynthia was also good as it keeps my head at a beat. After 5km, it became harder... i was more of auto functioning and what's more to say about the last 2.5km. My muscles were literally screaming for help. Thanks wanzi for pressing me along with your 1000 legged worm. How i wish i had a 1000 legs then!

Can't help but relate to life from the run. Ooopss.. going to give my piece of shit now... endure.. To me, life is alwiz like a long road with a goal in mind. Sometimes things are easy, and sometimes, things get tough... But what do we do? We choose to either take the easy way out (cut the road and take short cut) or continue fighting for our lives even if your muscles just refuse to listen anymore. It also boils down to how badly you want something. When you know you want it, you juz auto-function sometimes and not think. You just know you want it. If you want it bad, you'll fight till you falter, if you don't think itz that impt. just stop? Easy.

Just like the run, sometimes, during the journey of life, different people will step in to push you along. Different people will accompany you different phases of life. Sometimes, you are just alone and you have to know what you want and remember that. Though nobody is watching you. I'm watching me.

What was in my head? I had 2 things in my head. 2 things that kept me going. Thanks to cynthia, hq (poor you, have to slow down to almost walking. haha..) and zhonghui. :) We all made it!
