run, gracie! run!
i volunteered to participate in the staff relay for sports day. well, haven't run for ages! i think the last time i ever jogged was 2 years ago, while i was still at moo moo land. i've learnt my lesson today - never "last minute hug buddha leg" and hope that you could achieve results.

the challenge for me today was to run 1.5km. it isn't a long distance at all. i used to do this within 10minutes while i was in primary school ;) [ha! long time ago!] and at the back of my mind, the "oh no...!" lingered.

when the baton was passed over to me, i knew i just have to keep running. the first few hundred metres were easy. suddenly, i realised my legs grew weaker. i couldn't catch much breath. other competitors were swifting past me. "how am i going to finish? can i stop running?" i thought. but the thought of finishing the race kept me going. yes, i managed to finish it. maybe not fast enough, but im glad i finished it!

what came out of the race which made me smile was that i managed to bond closer with my colleagues. gota know them better. truly, it was about team work; not about winning. ha! we consoled ourselves, cos' we came in 2nd last! ha. we all had fun!
