I Love Running, Because It Teaches Me So Much About Life, Almost Everything I Need To Know In Life.

It's Been A Really Really Long Time Since I Blogged. Busy Like Mad For The Past 2 Weeks. 

I'm Back In Track & Field. A Shocking Decision, But So Far, It's Been An Amazing Decision. Used To Be Running Competitive Back When I Was In Primary School. But Somehow In Secondary School, I Did Not Train As Hard And I Wasn't Able To Finish Strong In The National Cross Country Even Though My Form Was At The Peak.

Year 1 In Poly. Signed Up For 7 CCA's. End Up In Entertainer's Club. Learnt Balloon Sculpturing. Got Kicked Out Because They Had Some Test Which I Failed, But Still I Did Try And I Really Enjoyed Myself For That 2 Months. Something That I'm Gonna Strike Off My List Of The Things That I've Not Done In My Whole Life. Used To Be Active In Camps, But Stop At Some Point Of Time Because I Feel Just So Lazy. GPA Wasn't That Great Either.

Year 2 In Poly. Amazing So Far. Things In My Life Changed So Much. Got No Idea How Or When Or What, All Of A Sudden, I'm Signing Up For Tons Of Volunteering Events And I've Learnt So Much. Great Experience Which I Really Enjoyed.

Track & Field. Running. It's All About Running. I Look Back To January When I Made The Decision To Sign Up For Sundown Full Marathon. I Was Really So Inexperience. Thinking I Had Completed 2XU Half Marathon At A Great Timing And Escape Injuries, I Really Thought It Was Going To Be Easy.

"I've Completed 21km, How Hard Can 42km Be" 

Was All That Was In My Mind. It's A Stupid Proud And Naive Thought.

Coach Called Me "Ah Siao". Running 42km At The Age Of 18, There's No Way You Are Gonna Escape Without Injuries. It's Gonna Damage Most Muscles In My Body. 

But The Thing Is I've Already Signed Up. Looks Like Backing Out Isn't An Option. Listening To The Advice From Many In Track Who Have Experienced The Marathon, They Told Me Regular 10km Isn't Even Enough If You Are Running A Full Marathon. There Will Still Be Injuries.

For The First Time In My Entire Life, I've Actually Clocked About 50km Of Mileage For The Past Week, Doing 10km On Days Without Training Which Falls On Mon, Weds & Fri. One Month Ago I Wasn't Even In Track And Was Doing A Pathetic 5km On Alternate Days Covering Less Than Half I Am Doing Now.

I Look At The Mileage Myself And I'm Really Amazed. I Feel Like I Can Go Further Than That. My Form Is Back. In Fact I've Already Surpassed My Current Limits And Have Established New Limits For Myself Without Even Realising It. That's How Being In Track Has Changed Me.

Don't You Wanna Train Harder When You See People Training Hard?

Running Marathon Is About The Mind. But If I Do It With Just The Mind Then Sure As Hell I Can Finish It And Sustain Injuries That Can Last For Months Or Such May Even Be Permanent. Worth It? Totally Not.

Instead Of Feeling Like I Am On Top Of The World, I'll Probably Be Crying In Pain.

Track Just Put My Life Back On Track. I'm Training So Hard Now And I Want To Push Myself Even Further. Train Hard. Train Hard. Train Hard. 19 Or Rather 18 More Days To Sundown. Seems Rather Near, But I'm Gonna Persevere Hard.  Pain Aside. Pain Aside. Pain Aside. Getting So Used To All The Aching But Look At Me, I'm Still Alive And I'm Even Stronger Than Before Because

What Doesn't Kills You Makes You Stronger.

The Only Problem Now Is Studies. Having A Difficult Time To Juggle Both Together But I'm Trying Really Hard. No Time For Any Volunteering For Now But I'll Make Up During The Holidays.

42.195KM 
Not Going To Give Up. 
I'm Coming For You. 
Faster. Stronger. Higher.

比赛输了

但你还是赢了

不是胜过跟你比赛的人

而是胜过自己

这才是人生最大的快乐
