The minor family thing took 2 years out of my life seriously. lol. I was praying bargaining worrying etc etc then when I got the sms from my mum saying things were alright and to come home I was so relieved I had to stop walking and just pause. And all I could think about was the times I should have been a better sister etcetc so I made it up by buying loads of ice cream home. Sigh so it's alright now. How great is my God.-IHC track meet (:

Wasn't too bad, cept I was burning up in a major way. I try offering sun block to boys (i.e. nazi and dong) and they scoff. Seriously man. Sun = danger.
so anyway, I was telling smoot how I'm glad I ain't a tracker cos its pretty stressful when people stand next to each other prior the dash and size each other up. Muscle -
check. determination -
check. sports tan -
check. spikes on shoes -
check. I had none of those naturally. Watch me wither away in the sun.
Coupled with the "ms. chlorophyll
you can run?" oh no. then fiona germaine and me waited around for val. I thought we were going to be dqed. The baton passing was fun I love batons.
And then I was telling sru that I'm not as fast as I used to be 60000 years ago. Major understatement. I tried being cool and training on thursday and only ended up with a supreme muscle ache and mega loss of any remnants of confidence. Then david was telling me about the muscle near the pelvis which is key in sprints. the one that isn't even flex anymore cos of my injury thing last year. And sru said all the pro runners wore spikes but I didn't want my sister's cos I was afraid they'd get stuck in the track while running. Like all these little stupid things that prevent you from doing your best, or at least trying to.
throughout warmups it was a little sad cos 5 years ago I could say I belonged, but then if I couldn't do 100m anymore what else could I do.. or other weird thoughts to that effect. But hey it was just a run, most probably my last 100m dash. So. Just run lah. And it was fun.
lots lots
