Title: Friday the 13th. I'm sorry. I'm too lazy to link my thoughts or whatever i post about. Mhmm. So I shall just use paragraphs to separate my ideas.
Wheeeee! Today's Friday the 13th! How cool. I'm so scared! I shall get paranoid and stay at home all day. Riiight... What an interesting date. I'm rambling. Okay... enough comments about the date!
Track There was track today at Bishan Stadium. Some small little kiddies from guangyang were practising there too. At first I found them quite annoying, but I thought they were quite cute little children after that. Some of them looked no older than primary 1! haha. Watched the small kiddies attempt to hurdle. Must give them some credit. They all looked pretty scared at first, but um... they got over that fast enough. The hurdles were half their height, so when they jumped, its not surprising they knocked into it/knocked it down. Its a wonder they managed to clear it at all! Haha. So it was lowered to its lowest for them. Their not bad for little kids. -applauds- It was quite funny. Abby went to ask their teacher if we could use lanes 1-4. The teacher was like um... then, this cute little kid said "Cannot! We're using!" I found it so amusing that i started laughing. Of course, the funny teacher said we could. Then the child was like "huh? why you say can? cannot!" I think she was fairly young. Reminds me of the days when i were younger... But i don't think i was as outspoken as the little kiddie. Then after that, when we were doing 30m drills, this grp of little girls said "Go jiejies! Run fast fast! We're cheering for you!" So cute! haha. Lets see... hmmm. Xinqi did't train today. I think she wasn't exactly in a good mood. She was sick, and so far this entire year, Xinqi has NEVER been sick before. She's the kinda person whom we expect to forever be there, training, encouraging you. Just shows you what kind of person she is, doesn't it? She's rlly rlly nice! After she finishes running, whcih is always ahead of all the rest of us, no matter how tired she is, she stays to cheer for you, or even to run along with you. I hope Xinqi gets well soon.She probably feels awful abt watching us train, yet being unable to train. And she was coughing pretty badly too. We have napfa on mon! And walk-a-jogathon tmr! I rlly rlly hope she gets better. Cheryl, Yunhui, Irmelia and Abby hurdled today. But wait, you haven't heard of the pathetic attendance yet. The only pple present today: Sec 4s: Abby, Huishan, Vithya (i hope i spell it correctly) Sec 1s: Ruixin, Yunhui, Cheryl, Irmelia, Thashi, Me and Esther. (Xinqi and Rachel came too, but left early, and didn't train at all.) The attendance was pro lah! We warmed up, did the usual striding. My striding was disgusting today. I always have to go crap fast, cos i start way later than the rest. I'm always not paying attn, so I never hear the whistle. When i see the rest running, then i realise i have to start, and push off. Which gives them a 2-3 m headstart. So i have to catch up, which is not too difficult, but it uses wayyyy more energy. i was running with the 3 sec 4s and CHERYL LIE! Thats quite insane. Sec4s??? Cheryl Lie? The fastest sec 1 sprinter? Puhhhhlease! When we were done with that, we did 30m sprinting, which is really really short. I paired with Ruixin as usual. He always pairs me with Ruixin if i don't pair myself with her anyway! Chloe, Xinqi, Ruixin and I! The 4 of us shared too many memories... And Xinqi is more of Chloe's standard. Ruixin's standard and mine are almost te same, though i have a feeling that if i'm not out of sorts, and i push, i might be able to beat her by a little. She's a tough competitor, so i make her an ally! haha. I think my 400 is better than hers, but her 200 is better than mine.Twas okay, but I did something to my ankle again i think. On last week's fri practice, I killed my left ankle, it got better, than on wed, my right ankle died! On mon my right ankle died too. My ankles are warped i tell you. Ble. Got to go rub the funny thing for aches and rheumatism. I'm sure i have rheumatism! Haha. After the 30m, the 4 of them hurdled, and the 6 of us just ran and ran repetition. This is excluding the times Huishan had her injury, so she stopped, which was abt half the time or more.We did 120m 8 times. Its actually okay, if not for the fact that we only have 2 lanes, coz the hurdlers took up 2 lanes, and guangyang pri took up 4 lanes. 2 lanes, 6 pple. not too bad actually, if not for the fact that EVERYONE was trying to push their way to the front, so Ruixin and I took the back, which i totally didn't mind, since mr tan said to run as a bunch. But after finishing the first one, he says "Ruixin and Joanna! You two should be in front leading the pack, not following them at the back." Coz he wanted us to average 20-21s. And Esther and Thashi but needed to average 23. Yay! I'm pleased that Ruixin and I took only 20 at the LONGEST! We averaged 19? The mode was 19. Yeah. Ruixin didn't run the last one with me. She was feeling dizzy, supposedly cos of blood either rushing to or from her head. She's been sick quite a lot lately. Sighhhh... So mean. She didn't finish 1200 with me on wed! I almost died by myself. 6 pple started, ruixin dropped out after 400, esther, thashi and someone else whom i can't rmb, dropped out after 800, leaving me by myself to chase xinqi. Not that it would have made much diff if they had completed it, apart from ruixin, cos they were too far behind. In ruixin's case, since she was dizzy, I don't suppose its her fault? I didn't know how i was going to run the last round... So tiring. Played heart of worship in my mind all the time, and i told myself that since i was tired, but even as i thought that i was tired, i was still going on, i was covering distance, it means that i stil had strength to go on, basically, i thought a lot to distract myself. And i looked forward and focused on xinqi running too. it helped to have someone else running the race, someone to follow, someone to finish it before you, to let you know that it's possible, someone to give you strength. See? Thats why track was rlly weird today. So many pple missing, and no super zai xinqi. There was a time when track trng would be SOOO weird for me without chloe too. But now she doesn't train with us much. She trains with the zai sprinters. Its still weird without her though. We're no longer the 4 who did EVERYTHING together, including training, and rigged striding. I rlly want to do the relays together in Nats. One more exp before Chloe goes to B div next yr, and we don't get to run ANYTHING with her. During a track training, actually, Rui xin's the most important to me. I need her to pace me/ me to pace her. I love the track sch team '05. C div esp. B div too, but not as close to them, durh! Ended track today with legs aching, esp the shin part! all shin's fault i say! Not to mention the ankles. I give up on my stupid legs. When will i get back into top form again? I'll be missing so much trng in june somemore. Mum decided to pick me. I wanted to go home myself! Could go to J8 with the rest then, and get a slurpee. But nooo... my mum called just as the others we leaving, and was like.. ok! I can pick you! Be there in 20 mins. hello???? i might as well go home myself. Every single person left okay. Thashi left a little later than the rest though. Sayed abt 5 mins longer, big help. In bishan stadium waiting by yourself for 15 mins is not very nice, so i decided to do an andrea seow! Sleep! haha. i slept for awhile. Was semi-conscious though. Awakened by vibration of hp. Mum calling to say that she was here.(finally, abt time too.) When i asked her why she took so long, she said "you should have taken a bushome then!" Wasn't that what i wanted to do all along? It only takes me 15 mins or maybe less to get home from there!Gah!
ORA There's ORA tmr. Wheee! I look forward to it, although i have to get there by 7.10, which totally sucks, cos it means i need to wake up by 6.30? I pity pple who stay far from bishan! Yay! I'll meet most of the trackers there at the walk-a-jogathon tmr! Then of course, there's the T and F booth duty. gah! We're selling minestrone soup on a hot day! How insane! Grass jelly is not as bad, but i think that lemonade would sell better. But nooooooo. Goh lee kien doesn't wanna let us cos she's afraid we'll poison pple! fine! If we lose money for ORA its not our fault!I'll go back there after i go home and bathe after the walk-a-jogathon, and be ther from 12-2? then i'll go for cell and service! yay! i look forward to my lovely packed day tmr! its gna be sooooooo nice! oh well... i dno how it'll be. shd be okay lah, quite a few plus points, i get to see the trackers and perhaps shinnie. and whoever else has ccas with stalls. and has to do shift duty. shinniegot 3rd for judo competition, and she's selling cookies to make pple fat! I know! she hopes that there'll be more pple to take part in the heavyweight part of the judo competition. Maybe she's gna try to make me fat so i can join judo and do heavyweight. Only bad pts of ora: 1. Its in RI. 2. I have to wake up early. 3. I'll be out the whole day. 4. I'm missing SMO trng, so i'm gna be totallie lost next wk.
I shall blog again tmr anout ORA if i have the time.
