Achieved miracle
Tuesday, April 19, 2011 @ 7:54 PM
I felt like i did some form of miracle yesterday and i really hope that something like that will happen in my "O" levels. Well, i had my NAPFA 2.4km run yesterday and i could somehow predict that i would fail. Well, i failed nearly every year. Last year when i managed to pass is because jolyn gave me a push. But this time, there is no one to push me since jolyn has to run for her fitness test too and all i have is to depend on myself. The most worrying thing is stitch. Well, for the past 3 years in Zhonghua, i had stitch for every 2.4km test so i am super duper worried that it will come again this year. So i hoped hard that it will not come and asked around if anyone know any prevention for stitch. Some told me not to eat before the test and stitch will not come. However, some others told me to eat something or else there will be stitch. In this case, i have no idea what to do or who to believe so i came to a conclusion. I will just listen to what ms lin told me 3 years ago, just keep on stretching the side muscles. Before the test, when we were queueing up, i was busy stretching my side muscles and i felt nervous (as usual). When everyone started to run, i ran too. I kept myself at constant speed, not too fast nor too slow. After 3 rounds, i started to get tired and wanted to walk but i told myself, i will run at a constant rate until the 5th round. Then, i may start walking. At the 5th round, somehow i felt that i shouldn't start to walk but i really feel like walking and i was hesitating. Then, when i was reaching the curve of the route, jolyn who has ran finished asked how many round am i left with. Well, since i have not been talking about the past 15 minutes so when jolyn talked to me, i just shouted "LAST ROUND!" After i said that, i quickly sped through the route to the ending point. I didn't know that i had the energy to speed through. I was a little bit amazed by my capability. Jolyn help to take note of my timing and it was 15minutes 58seconds. This was my best record ever! I have never hit a 16 minutes in my past 3 years and yet, i managed to achieved 15 minutes and 58 seconds. I felt like it was a miracle. When i ran finished, there was a slope and i nearly rolled down and i am so tired that i really wish to roll down but of course, i didn't. When i got onto ground floor, i breathe like i was having asthma. I breathed real hard! My feet felt like they were in fire. Well, i could conclude that practising a few days before going for 2.4km is indeed useful and it is something everyone should do if they want to achieve good results. Indeed, i am very proud of myself to achieve such timing. But can i achieve such good results in my "O" levels? I really hope so but i still can't get the "O" level tension mood. Just like 2.4km test, one must practise. But if i don't get into the correct condition, no matter how much i practised, what goes in will just come out. Miracles don't happen often so, hoping to achieve miracles without working hard for "O" levels may be my wishful thoughts. But i think everyone will always hope that lady's luck is beside us, all dreams and wishes will come true and miracles will take place. But, an effort must be put in in order to achieve all of these.
