Learn From These People

Hi, after Klang Pcer, I feel so compelled to write this post which can possibly serve as a reminder and a great encouragement for everyone who aspires to conquer 10k, 21k or even 42k in the future.

Runners are always plagued with injuries. All sorts of injuries are awaiting you if you overtrain or improper training technique is used. Since injury is inevitable, it's plausible to argue that we should never run to prevent those unwanted injuries. People who don't run seldom have knee problems.

However, I urge you to look at those Milers who still carried on running in spite of the stinging injuries. I'm not going to single out any individual particularly because we run as fast as the slowest ones. Our doctrines definitely do not include any personal glorification. But, I hope you all open your eyes. We have people who ran with bandage but still could go back to support fellow Milers even they already finished their own race. We also had Milers who suffered from old injuries sustained from other activities, and still heroically completed their 21k. Not to mention those who developed cramps intermittently during the race, and still, pulled themselves up and dashed to the finishing line.

Those are the people we should learn from. The never-say-die attitude is what Milers are made of. I'm not trying to glorify pain. On the contrary, I want everyone to be aware of the pain they can endure. Push to your own threshold and you'll know how far you can go. By doing that, arguably speaking, you can even prevent potential damage you do to your body due to overtraining.

Hence, are you prepared enough to learn from them? If you are not, prepare yourself now because they are the best runners.

you don't need a reason for everything

As I was having dinner with a few other college friends today at Bubba Gump today, I also watched a bit about the Forrest Gump story that they played on the LCD.

Then, it reminded me on what Jimmy had posted in the why-do-you-run.blogspot.com about Mr. Forrest.

“That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going.”

- Forrest Gump

And, then Mr. Forrest ran for 3 years 2 months before he decided to go home. :)

Run well this Sunday, whether it is 11km or 21.1km!

When every step is agony

As the 7 June 21km draws near, I'm sure many of you will be feeling slightly jittery, nervous, and probably very unsure. Well, words of advice I have none, but here's what I read today, from an interview of a participant in the Adidas Sundown Ultramarathon:

Numerous participants admitted that they had harboured thoughts of quitting, but decided not to give up.

"Every step is agony," said Sim Li Bin, 30, who had no qualms taking off his left sock to reveal an inch-sized blister on the sole of his left foot.

"Blisters, chaffing, and cramps... but it's all worthwhile when you reach the finish line"
