Busy Week

Damn its a gonna be a busy week!

Three Test and 1 race. At least there is easy run to enjoy

---------------------------------

Ran at bedok reservoir yesterday. It was something we nvr expected

A 12 km long run at bedok reservoir!! 4km fast run is bad enough already..now we have to run 12 km. The bad thing about this places is that you can see how much longer you have to run.

A standard race feeling
The feeling is like you are so damn tired already. You tilt your head estimate the amount of distance left. Then you look to your front, realizing you are still far away from the finishing line. And you can't stop to take a breather because people will overtake you. so you hope that It will finish soon, but the nearer you go, the farther it seems. And it seems like eternity before you can see the finishing line. But you push on.

Perseverance.

Your lungs are bursting for air. Your leg muscle pulls tight as if screaming for you to stop and walk. But you know that if you stop, there goes your medal and position. So you push on. Praying to God to give you strength. When you reach around 800 metres away from the finishing, your legs feel extreme fatigue. So you rely on mental strength to keep your body
going, your minds forces the legs to go at a rhythmic pace.

Your faces turns red, you are gasping for oxygen, you are beginning to slow down. and you hear foot steps behind you. Just 150m more, Cmon! Push On!! you tell yourself. You quicken your footsteps, the finishing line comes to sight! Suddenly, you feel the adrenaline rush and you feel that last spurt of strength. Exploding into a fast sprint, you race to the line,

10..9..8..7..6...5....4..3...2...1

you bow my head, you feel giddy. But you at least you know...

You've done it.
