After 11 years, I finally did it! YAHOO!

It has been a long time wish of mine....

For some1 who did not exercised a single bit (ok, I did visit the Basket Ball court quite a bit then to drool over the basket ball guys!) for the whole of secondary school... it's a crazy thought!

Since poly year 1, every tues and thursday I would be doing this... running the Bedok Reservoir with a bunch of Dragonboat pple... the torturous 4.3 km.... oh I remember so clearly.... each time I will pant my lungs out and probably left different parts of my limbs every few hundred metres around the Reservoir....

After a few months of training, I can complete the round decently... but never more than that... It has always been a dream of mine to complete 2 rounds continuously...

I did just that tonight.... after 11 years of doubting myself... did it with Princess Clarissa's support... her presence is encouragement itself... I'm darn proud of myself and cant stop to awe in my own achievements... the 1st person I thought of telling is my dear friend, companion, soul mate, old dragonboat pal: Meimei (Rin)...

I know i may sound exaggerating... it's only 8.6km!! Come on, during this period of the year, every1 I know who does sports is telling me abt ADIDAS Sundown... Army Half Marathon... etc etc... mega distance running...

Bedok Reservoir has a special place in my heart... it's where I first started running... first pushed myself to the limits... my training ground for triathlon events... it's the place I run to during school days to vent off my anger.... there's a little hill/slope there where I see countless of students running up & down under watchful eyes of their coaches... on top of this small hill is a lone big tree, I used to sit by the tree and bury myself in a romance novel...

I love this place to bits... to "conquer" it finally... I feel strange inside of me... a weird tingling feeling... I ask myself this question: "what next? 3 rounds? is it possible for me to achieve?"

Until then... I am just very very happy.... my Bedok Reservoir have me & I have thee...=D
