We had our 2.4km run during PE today
surprisingly it didnt rain at all
while it rained during all the last few PEs
so our 2.4km went on according to schedule
the gals ran 1st so the guys all waited
b4 long we were up on the track and getting rdy for our run

My personal best was standing at 10:59 b4 this run
i was aiming for 10:30 which is an A grade for 2.4km =)

den Marcus was telling me that to get this timing
i shld maintain my speed at 1:40 per round
so i kept focused on this timing
must get 1:40 ea round!!!

the run started abruptly
very abruptly indeed
all the teacher said was ready, go in 1 sec
and most of us were still wondering wads going on
and the race and timing had alrdy started -.-

i started off at a fast pace for the 1st round
didnt notice my timing when i was done with the 1st round
i finished the 2nd round at 3:20
perfectly on time =)
I didnt notice my timing for the 3rd and 4th round either
but by the time i was running my 4th round
i was already tired
its quite hard to maintain this speed for a long period of time...
i culd sense that my body was tiring out
but my mind focused on running
and i sped up
by the time i started my 5th round
my body was already half exhausted
i was out of breath
and it was getting difficult to keep on with this speed
but i told myself
dun stop, keep going
when i came in on my 5th round
the timing was 8:57
i was thinking omg i have only 1 min 33 seconds left to make it
my brain was screaming at me to slow down
and my body was on the verge of exhaustion
my lungs were burning
but my willpower told me to hurry up
when i had about 150m left
i began to sprint
all the way to the finishing line!

my timing? 10:23 =)
new personal best!!! cheers!

i came in 2nd though... 4 seconds behind the fastest guy from another class
3rd behind me was yu xiang
he was actually ahead of me for the whole of the race until the point where i sprinted and overtook him
wad a surprise... i didnt know that he was in front of me

i m happy to have achieved a new personal best
2.4km is fun =)

"Don't ever ever stop while running, it will only serve to exhaust you further. Either run nonstop throughout the race or don't run it at all. Its pointless to run a race if you plan to stop and give up halfway. What matters is not your stamina but your willpower. Are you strong enough to keep going despite the protests from your body?"

*Side note to all Herd-ians*
Has it ever occured to you all that Kbox might not be open on Polling Day?
