There are a lot of things you learn in running which you can relate to everyday life. Like how speed trainings are one of the toughest training you can put yourself through, but if done right, it will greatly improve your form and make you a better, faster, stronger runner.
So, it is something 'bitter' but necessary to go through and experience, but most importantly you come out stronger as a result of it. Over time, you realize you can take harder trainings, as you grow from strength to strength.
In life, you face 'speed bumps' or challenges which may derail you from your intended plan. Or you get hurt from another's action or inaction. Perhaps its an illness, or death of someone dear, or maybe it is utter heartbreak.
I was supposed to go for the Terry Fox run in Kuala Lumpur, but due to an emotional breakdown the night before, I just could not get myself to run. This shocked me as I have always thought my love for running would surpass anything thrown at me.
So as I sit and watch the rain fall this afternoon, I am reminded of speed trainings and how it hurts to go through it. Much as how I am hurting now, emotionally. But there is always light at the end of the tunnel. I know this hurt is just a tough speed training session. I am pulling through although it is a bitter pill to swallow. I am reminded of the fact that I love running so much because if i do my best, I do get the best in return. Similarly, this bitter pill taught me to never make someone your ultimate, if you are only a second option to them, or in my case, not an option at all. No, I am not angry or resentful, I have however accepted the consequence of my past actions, and this has brought me a certain measure of peace. This speed training session has ended and looking forward, there is no other option but a stronger me.
