Ten
The road doesn't care what you look like,
Or what you do,
Or what you think.
All it cares is that you run every once in a while.

Finding the day and time for track and field training that everyone is comfortable with is difficult, especially since I don't want to stay too late. Preferably till 6, max. It is in Queenstown, after all. It takes an hour or more to get there and back.
But running has been very satisfying. I like running on the track, so long as my tudung don't get flying onto my face. Must remember to pin it down next time.
I've been assigned, for lack of better word, to the 100-metre race. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I was among the fastest in the team. How nice! Kak Siti said that I had gotten fat (three cheers to family support!), but I don't really care. I'm still among the fastest! Hooray for me!
Aba lent me his sport shoes. Adidas. Quite heavy. I wonder if I would run faster with lighter shoes. Hmm. Must remember to try next time.
The adidas shoes belonged to my grandfather before he gave it to Baba. I think it's cool that I'm wearing hand-me-down shoes from my elders.
Training started much much later than it as supposed to yesterday. We had to be there by 4, but when Loi and I arrived on time, only one other kid was there. Annoying, actually, since I can't really tolerate late-comers. I'm kinda surprised that the sisters didn't lecture us.
And I only got to run twice. I want to run some more!
Btw, school tomorrow. Not much to look forward to.
