hey peeps, today was the 2.4km run. To tell the truth, i think im pretty proud of myself. AT least i know i had done my best. I feel guilty in a lot of ways too... I feel so guilty because i had left cheryl to run on her own. running alone is terrible. There is no one by your side to tell u to keep moving on, and no one there to give u a little encouraging nudge. I know how it is to run alone. I was startled when cheryl stopped at the second round. I thought she gave up. But she didn't. Because she was cheryl after all. The cheryl we all knew wasn't to give up so easily. I stopped at the start of the third round, and then frm then on i stopped at every single round i ran. That's why i say, it was not mel's and cell's fault that i didn't get an A. It was because of my weak willpower. But whenever i stopped, there were two things in my mind : Mel told us "don't stop no matter what". WHen i stopped, i felt that i had let her down in a way. But i didn't want to let her down, so i kept on running. I could've just stopped and walked the whole 2.4km, but it was because i remembered mel's words, that's why i kept on running. When i was running, i realised how many people there were shouting and calling my name. "Samantha Ho you better get your feet up and run!", "Sam u told me not to give up so i won't let u! Now run!" When i was running the last round, i told myself, "i can run!" SO i ran the whole way. I was looking for cell and mel, i was waiting for mel and cell to acknowledge me. But they weren't there. I was waiting. I really was. It was that moment of excitement and fulfillment that i was running for. I'm not angry or anything. But i just wanted to say:
one to Cheryl, for leaving you behind
two to the one, who's words i remembered
three to the people, who gave me strength
four to the world, whose motivation i needed.
