as you might anticipate... predicting from the flood of inspirational entries that the blog has just experience... mine is just as similar as those before mine.
well before i start... let me just state as what victor said that today's session might very well be the last session we have together (complete with everyone and all... ) coz as he has so very politely said... some will make the mandatory yet judiscial decision of not running for track in order to study for the 'o's. well... not that i'm trying to sway anyone's decisions... but i guess if u really want to concentrate on ur studies... by all means... go ahead
oh anyways, moving on to the next substantive in the entry...
personally i feel there's no need for those nice sweet words... dripping with honey. ready to be licked off the finger... no need. although a little bit of chocolate won't be of any harm... but the thing is that... when u are on that field. on that track... on that arena. are you going to lace ur words with those honey or coat them with chocolate? will you have the time or energy to even open your mouth to mutter those few words?
not that such a thing has psychic power or having the ability to read one's mind does exist... but i feel that after all these months of training... of the hours that amount to like days that we've spent together... i'm sure you can't ignore this certain bond that seems to bind us all so tightly... like being wrapped by an invisible thread... so strong yet so flexible allowing us our own personal movement and space...
when you run on that field. when your team mate is miles behind you... or metres ahead... or simply just next to you... will u raise your voice such that the clouds will shake and the ground will tremor so that team mate will be able to hear? or do you already know that the team is within you... that you all share this common goal, common dream... common destiny and strive for it? even if you are all alone and the rest of the competitors have been struck down by lightning or hailstones... you keep running coz u know you are running for acx.
if that spirit lives within you. and it burns fiercely... then indeed you are part of acX.
if u understand what i've just said... u will know it. coz it's just there. if u don't...
dont worry... u just dont have it. too bad... awwww-
so those who are the speedsters who have been running with me... u know what u have to do... let's go and leave the rest to God
