challenge

For the very second week of the school, i've accomplished myself certain things that im not so used to think about. once and for all, i joined the crosscountry team.

for the fact that im really getting better at upraising my heart rate and drop it just comfortably(or as the coach would say), i felt the fullfilment right away as i approached to 'the car'

"The CAR" as i would say, is another exact substituion for WATER

Usually the coach would be too mean to not set the spot of the car as our ultimate goal for the race......

but today's trainning almost had me worn out.

I've never ever felt so bad about running before. Well..not that bad actually, it just almost made me cry!

basically, it started as a standard warm up. Then 1 400 meters plus 2 800 meters popped up!

I could barely lift my legs up anymore... and i knew exactly that the lactic acid was building up intensively on my muscles

After these never-ending training, we headed up to the hills

4 minutes later. hill sprinting began

i happened to remember a lil tip that my colleague told me :P it was right on the way!

However, the accumulating pain on my leg muscles wasn't being ignored at all..

and then,,,i was starving : (

***********

this past wednesday, we had our first cross country meet.

our competition was not big 'yet' because there was only three schools participated in this race.

me and my roommate almost ran up late.....it scared the heck out of me when everyone lined up on the grass whereas my roommie and i were still walking casually down the hills =}

the race started, the total distance was three fucking miles

when i was finally heading towards the end (i thought i was about to pass out in a serious sense), a steepest hill came out right infront of my sight and that was the boarder of the finish line

so I used up all i got to jog up on the hills (i tried to run but it ended up looking like i was trying to walk)

the point is, when i was passing the tremendously difficult hill, a guy from the military school was catching up right behind me, his pal yelled,

"go beat that girl! beat her! BEAT THAT GIRL! she's just a girl, man"

so he passed me as his confidence rised. His pal then now yelled at me,

"you can beat him you know?! you know that right??, you can beat him, GO BEAT HIM!!"

--------

i slowed down eventually, then that was it...and i made it happen

now i can't really say much about my feelings toward the cross country team because it's killing me so badly :''

i only knew that the very reason for me to do it is to prove that i can do it

everyone treats it like an insane sport, and that's very spiritual soul about this stuff.

you can't feel it unless you experience it

i like it the fact that it makes my life less boring now (even tho i always get stacks of assignment every night)

**so, uh, two races next week??
