10KM

Wednesday, August 13, 2008

just finished a 10KM run outside of school with ODAC-ers
we ran from the white bridge to the end of bishan park one
IT IS SUPER DUPER FAR!
before that we ran the 8.8KM i though that that one is really long but this time
the 10KM was much shorter than i have expected
maybe it is because i ran with Dutt beside me

when i was running the 8.8KM when Dutt and Amanda overtake me
i was like super no contented
cause how can i LOSE to a girl?
so i charged to overtake them
then they overtake me again
then i charge again
this continue for around 3 times and i eventually gave up

but this time, when i was running
though they overtake me i look to them less of my competitors but more of a
how do i put it?
my target?
yar i think so
now even though they overtake me
i no longer charge to overtake them but i pace them
try to keep as close a distance as possible
i think this change of mindset really benefitted me
cause this time i ran at my peak performance
meaning for the whole route i gave it my all
i didn't slow down consciously
i keep thinking " hey Keng Chong, you didn't start the race to stop halfway OKAY!"
so then i push and push and push
and Dutt really encourage me alot la
though halfway i wanted to go toilet and he is very hungry
haha

in the end i ran 10KM just under one hour!
i ran it in 59 mins!
yeah it is an achievement to me

after the run we have a "meeting"
hope the ODAC-ers can understand why we wanted to do this
"IT IS ALL FOR YOUR OWN GOOD"

looking forward to the study sessions though
