So cross country is now over. I actually planned to walk throughout and i also felt different today. I felt that i couldn't perform. As the sound of the horn is being heard, the whole LOT started to run, while some walked. I suddenly felt like running but peer pressure man. My friends kept calling me back to walk with them. And lucky there's Allen, the most enthusiastic one. Rajesh was too, but he had to tie his shoelace along the way, and lost track with us. Allen, i think, was a good runner but he lacks the endurance to keep thinking of his destination and just focus on getting there, not bearing in mind the pain of stitches and ankle exertion. I managed to pass that test. For the past few runs during PE, i stopped running halfway, for once in 5 years. I couldn't pass the endurance test. But i'm glad i did today.
I had a series of injuries today. First, i was so vexed over a soccer match i played after the run that i kicked the pole of the goalpost. I kicked it hardly. I couldn't feel any pain at that time but once i stopped playing, it really hurts but it's worse right now. Second, during my 'fitness' which i used to define parkour training. I'm going to make the fitness corner my playground and soon, the other parts of the school. I have been observing possible obstacles whenever i walk around the school and found plenty. But i usually do my 'fitness' when not many people are around. Today, i did a couple of new vaults. It felt really great being able to move like a monkey, cat and also kong. However today, i jumped up high and landed wrongly on my ankle. Ouch..then, when i rolled, i hurt my right back of the shoulder. Gosh, but i don't regret having these injuries, it's part and parcel of learning parkour.
Lastly, i would like to remind all the innocent people out there, that this land is no longer safe. Someone is on the loose. So be sure to keep an alert mind. Try not to stay out late. Let's all pray to our God(s) that this someone will get nabbed soon. Please, fulfil our wish.
