unexpected

I dont know why, but it is always during training that I will feel good, especially during workout. This is something that I really look forward to every week. I just felt that God was with me, guiding me through every step I take in training. No matter how bad my knees may hurt at times, it was always by God's grace that I was able to run through the pain and hang in there to complete my workouts. For Monday's workout, we did 400m times 6 times 2 sets. The first set felt good and the second set was slower. Nevertheless, I have never imagined that I would do such a timing with quite consistent pace. I did felt God's presence while I was running. Even when I felt I giving up because I was really tired and legs were like they cant take it anymore. But I believed that it was because of God's grace, I was able to complete it. Adding on, pushing myself mentally really wasnt easy. Sometimes, thoughts just come into my mind and I will get distracted. I know that I have to focus during training and so, I prayed to God and asked that I will focus and not think about anything. And indeed, I was able to focus when I run. I believe God answers prayers. Praise God! :)

Talking about training on Wednesday, I was really tired on this day, didn't really have the mood to train, but still, I went. The workout given was 120m times 4 after which, 200m times 6. It was all speed based. The 120m was like mad, because I went like all out for it and thighs were gonna give way. But I thank God for bringing me through it. While doing the 200m, I felt light when I was running and I just opened my stride when I run. This was for the first 2 sets. For the third set and above, I felt that the speed was there as I ran began to ran faster. Jac pushed me for these few sets so I was able to below 40s. Really thank God for her presence and definitely Tsexin too! Also, thank God for bringing me through the 200m times 6. To be honest, I didnt expect myself to be able to do such timings after the 120m times 4 because the thighs are really gonna give way anytime and I was really tired. I felt quite mentally drained too. I think if I did not have the mental, I would not have been able to complete the workout with those timings. Thank God I was able to focus and yes, I felt God's presence. Praise the Lord! :)

Lean unto God, and He will bring you through.
