hello, old friend. 5:56 AM

my God is mighty to save.
----


today started out like any other monday.

'cept during pe we all realized we had to run 2.4.
and I was totally unprepared. Mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually (yes, even spiritually!)... the whole thing.
My legs were hurting and I wasn't in the best of moods and I was already pretty demoralized from saturday's race (or incompletion thereof), and so I sooo joined in the efforts to cajole Mr Tong to postpone the darn thing.

"but pleeeeeeaaaasseeee, Mr Tong?"
puppy eyes don't work. hmf.

at least he didn't bust me for forgetting to bring my nj pe shirt, though. I was wearing my smile for a mile shirt.

"the next time you wear that shirt to pe, I'm going to MAKE you run and I will MAKE you smile for a mile!"

... nice guy, him. :D

so yeah. I grabbed my ipod, headed to the starting line, and we ran.
and after a while everything began to get very blurry (it was blurry in the first place, but oh well) and then it was just me and the music and God.

the second last round rolled around and then the last round
and all I could hear was the refrain
I'm running after You
I'm running after You
I'm running after You.

and in a matter of minutes it was all over.

10:15.
Six seconds off last year's timing.

I couldn't believe it at first.
I know it's not the best of timings, and all; but considering what I've been going through lately, and my troublesome shin and loss of morale etcetra,
I was pretty happy.


Those six shaved-off seconds belong to God, though.
No wait, scrap that-- the whole ten minutes and fifteen seconds belong to God.
His race, His glory.

all to His name,
thank you God.

p.s God makes an awesome running partner.


... before training, Wen Loong threatened to splash his H2O over me and so I held up my bottle of ice mountain just as threateningly,
and I totally didn't expect that he would--
-- but he splashed me! with H2O! all over!

so I emptied the contents of my ice mountain bottle all over him.

so ha.

only it was truly disgusting-- my shirt was soaked through with isotonic drinnnnkkk.

"omigosh you're gonna attract so many ants afterwards during training!"
"yeah I'm gonna have this little entourage trailing behind me when I run, how cool?!"

but yeah. c'est la vie!

and training was good. I felt great after I finished it. j'adore nj t&f. <3



p.s you're finally sixxxxxteen
join the club, sweetheart--
sweet sixteenth, sexy maxy!
