Seriously I didn't know anything about 10K, my friend just signed up for me and I thought well what's the big deal I could at least fast walk.

I always jog and fast walk but I never run, and in fact I hate running.

But since we enrolled the game, we started training 6 weeks beforehands. We ran in the sportsground near my home, I couldn't catch my breath after 800M slow run---> I seriously doubted if I could make it.

It's quite amazing to see myself run from 800M, then 1200M, then finally 4000M. I managed to run 8500M myself in the last training and a full 10K 3 days before the game.

I caught a cold right before the run, woke up at 5:40am for the game, felt so sick and tired but there's no way I'd give up after a long time training.

The run started at 8am, it's rather slow at the begining because of the crowd. The last 5K was much better.

I kept running and running and I did think of giving up on the last 1K because it's just painful, my energy was all used up and I was tired, hungry and emotionally weaker than before.

Determination helped greatly at that point because I told myself I'd never stop running at this time.

Eventually I did it, seems we all get the potential to achieve something. Giving up is easy but keeping up is more satisfying.
