It's done.My 6 years of running.
And when I look back to when I just started in sec one..
The immense nostalgic memories just sweeps past my face once again.
Back when I couldn't even complete one round of Bishan Park without dying.
Got 5th for sch cross.
But still competed in 3000m and 1500m for nats but did not qualify for either.
Back when I finally could finish 3 rounds of Bishan Park
Got 1st for sch cross
became vice capt :P
And qualified for 1500m instead. :)
Back when Peirce moved and we couldn't train at Bishan Park
Got 1st for sch cross.
became capt. :PP
realised i suck at 3000m, ran 800m and was top 10
and could qualify for 1500m but got disqualified
cause of some stupid official who was obviously near-sighted.
Back when I got L1R5 of 36 and so I'm not allowed to focus on track
but still tried my best to do so albeit getting worse timings.
Still got 1st for sch cross. :P
When I tried my best for 800m sports day and missed the damn record by 3 miliseconds
and realised I did not leave my name in Peirce for anything.
But moved on.
Peirce track team formed the basis of what I am now.
People in the team definitely pushed me in a way or another and without the friendships I experienced there, I would've probably quit running.
Prolly had given up so much easily.
Prolly had taken another path and who knows what would've happened.
Prolly wouldn't even make it to CJC.
But I somehow did, and am still grateful today.
Because track didn't stop right there.
I did have difficulty picking myself up from square one
But the few people I slowly knew re-inspired me once again and made such efforts much easier.
Back when I trained during 1st 3 months with CJ
Beat some people for the first set of 800m
And died by the second set. -.-
When Cross training was all that's in store and I managed to
make the team of 8.
When I had 800m buddies who trained with me for 3 months and made trainings
less tiring and even more worth it.
When I constantly charged at that barricade and broke it by 6 secs and saw the look on Miss Lim's face. :')
Competed in 800m for nats and got 6th place.
Back when National cross and National track was pushed forward and made us panic.
But just made us train harder to make up the loss time.
When i somehow became capt. :PPP
Got 3rd for sch cross and 32nd for nats cross.
Felt disappointed yet again but pulled myself tgt and got determined to break more PBs.
And finally did so, by 92 miliseconds for 800m. lol.
Tried 1500m once again after 2 years and qualified for finals with a timing 9 secs faster than in sec 3.
Got 5th for 800m finals and 4th for 1500m finals with a timing 10 secs faster than heats. O.O
And team CJC stayed at 5th overall for national track as of 2 days ago.
So much has happened and what I just stated would be just a mere fraction of the six years.
Some memories lost, but even more kept in my head.
And as long as I still have gained something from this, I would be contented.
Running has occupied a whole third of my life,
And has made this post very long-winded.
I guess I should congratulate you if you have made it this far.
But if you haven't
Well then I guess you'll just have to be a runner to understand. :)
