What’s on my plate tonight

November 20, 2008

Training with the track and field team for Singolympics at UST…

I don’t know what I’m getting myself into.  They just told me they need people to play/ race and a friend volunteered me into it as he knew I’ve been into distance running lately -  but distance here defined as 10K the farthest, haha!  And another team wants to get me play for them in badminton.

Do these people have an idea I used to be sickly and weakling as a child?


What, me? In track and field?

After taking a quick shower to flush out the sweat I got from my quick run last night (suddenly, everything needs to take up the adjective ”quick”, haha!),  I was all ready to hit the bed and call it a night.  

I totally had no idea I was still in for a surprise.

On my way to hit the bed, somebody texted me, about the Singolympics:

“XXXX handpicked you to train with the track and field team.  We have a training this Friday night…”

What?  Me?  In track and field?

You must be kidding man!

But I didn’t tell him that.  Instead I asked for the next training schedule as this Friday is supposed to be booked already for the Nike running clinic. 

Obviously, the picture is clear.  I want to check out what’s in there.  And what’s in there for me. 

To be honest, I like sprinting  -  but I have never ever been trained for it or officially joined any sprinting competition.  But as they say, there’s always a first time (wink).
