we went to see the turf city route today. I HATE IT. sigh. they tell us it's 3.5km but it's actually nearly 4km. the guys are supposed to have 4.5km but i can't imagine how long it really is. -__- anyway back to the i-hate-turf-city-route thing. it's really horrible!!! there's SO MUCH concrete!!! so much for cross-country. the concrete is so painful to run on i feel like i've got 5 bruises on each knee now. and then where there isn't concrete then there's grass. and grass would be okay with me usually but this grass is exposed to the SCORCHING sun the whole way and worse - it's so unlevelled. and then later you'll reach this part where you can't tell whether it's soil or concrete but WHATEVER it is you'll know this: it's SO uneven. gosh the whole route is life a slow-suffering course. for me, i suppose. i could feel my bones rattling and rubbing against each other the whole time. mr tan asked me to retire from track again. hah. and join what?
