So I decided to go for a run. Take my usual 3.4km route. And here's what happened...
I start to run.
And I run....
And I run....
And I run....
And then I realize that I have already passed by my usual first resting spot and I am not tired at all!
You see, after every kilometer or so, I usually pause for about a minute, catch my breath and then run again. However, this time around, that regular first resting spot of mine was well past but I was still going strong!
Pretty amused by this unexpected turn of events, I continue to run...
And I continue to run....
And I continue to run....
And then, the second resting spot also whizzes past and I still am not that tired. Tired, yes. But not that tired.
And then the mind games begin. One part of me wants to run the remaining distance, about 1.3-1.4kms without stopping at all. Another part immediately starts to feel tired, more mental than physical for sure, but it definitely starts to feel like I wont be able to make the remaining distance without stopping.
But one gotta give it a go.
So I continue to run....
And I continue to run....
And I continue to run...
And now things are very obviously getting hard. I feel my heart in my mouth. I hear my heartbeats in some seriously loud decibels. I begin to sweat like a pig.
But then there was only about 500 mts or so left...
So I run.........
And I run........
And I run........
And then suddenly it ends. Like an oasis in a desert, the swimming pool of my condominium, appears right in front of me. That's the official stopping point of all my runs.
I made it!!!
Non stop 3.4 kms!!!
Hasn't happened in more than a year or so!
Yeah baby!
Never gonna do that again because it felt so bloody hard, but for today, it was a rocking experience and I feel super awesome about it!
252 more to go.
