my kids, my endurance!
This morning was the Fitness Run Day for teachers in my cluster.
We had the option of running 2.4km or walk 2km.
I chose 2.4km.
Seriously, the last time I ran that much was our school's annual fitness run at the beginning of this term, which I almost died. I recalled how torturous it was to run 2.4km back in JC, and the stupid teacher forced me to get at least a silver, even though it was unnecessary for me since I'm not going for NS. Still, I'm glad I got my silver in the end.
Seriously, I dun really know if Ive poor physical stamina or simply low mental stamina.
I've always been a sprinter since young, but I've just cant run long distance.
This morning, I wanted to give up in the fifth lap. I had to psycho myself. I began thinking about what motivates me, and I thought of my kids. I'd already finished four laps, two more laps to go. It's almost the end I tell myself.
Will give up on my kids halfway through the race? If this race represents my endurance for my kids, am I giving up on them on the last lap? NO! I told myself. I must not. I cant!
And I ran on till the end. I dunno how I did, but I'm glad I didnt give up when it's most important.
My kids, my pride, my endurance!
