stand chart run

ok... i need to ramble... shall tok abt my stand chart run.

was so looking forward to it until it was really right round d corner! totally forgot i needed to collect my marathon pack etc... i lost track of time sometime round end of nov n beginning of dec n the run was dec4. anyway, suddenly felt flustered n unprepared for it.

well, the day came n went. lemme jolt my memory.
tok i'd sleep early but as usual i did not until 4am. slept like 2 hrs, woke up, missed d first train i was supposed 2 catch. but made no diff cos in the end, the staff were waiting for students. doesn't matter. there were so many runners in the category everyone was walking instead at the starting pt. d DJ kept saying "RUn people RUN!" so pathetic!!
so we waited till it kinda cleared.

but the run was frustrating despite the blessing of great weather n nice route. alot of pp were walking. most dun have running ethics. if u r walking or S....l....o........w.... , for goodness' sake, get out of the way! man... block n jam up the 4 lane road n swing arms dangerously some more! shucks man. was squeezing my way past hundreds n my arms n thighs kena "bua" by people's sweat! i keep my arms v close 2 my body in a tight 45 degrees with min swing . so it's not me who 'asked' for it. i mean really... i cant imagine how pp can swing arms n legs wildly when they run or juz ridiculously veer off course n bump me n bua me wif sweat!! yucks
n couldn't run at the right pace... it was like stepping on the accelerator one sec n then the brake the next. so sian.

then i too greedy for free drinks given out along the run... so i over drank!! haha... drank ice mountain... then realised... oh... 100plus! so i grabbed a cup too... so by d time i cleared the drinking stations... i was too bloated to run! haha... i asked for it.

well, finished it nevertheless. was pissed n was telling myself i'll run the half marathon next year cos everyone there was running. but then... judging fr my time... *shake head* i'll need lots of training! ok set. onz.

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever - 1 Cor 9:24, 25
