Hwa Chong Institution's Annual Cross Country Run!

Last Wednesday, on the 24 of February, Hwa Chong Institution held the annual cross country run. For the secondary one students, which is what I am, we had to run 3 kilometres within the school compound but there was a very long road which we had to run outside the school, I guess it is about 300 to 400 metres or even more. I was satisfied with my results as I took around 17 to 20 minutes to complete the whole run of 3 kilometres. As for the other levels and the teachers, they had to run a distance of 4 kilometres, and it is also within the school compound, only that they had to run a further distance than us by taking some longer routes, u-turning a few hundred metres after where we made the u-turn. After adding up all those additional distances they ran a total of 4 kilometres. Actually, I was also very satisfied with my results, not only in timing, but also that I did not get overtaken by a student of other levels or teachers, maybe because they started later than us and had to run a longer distance. There was also a Milo van giving out cups of cold milo to students who need a drink desperately. A sale of cans of isotonic drinks was on too, selling cans of isotonic drinks at 70 cents each, which is counted as quite an affordable price already. It was indeed a great experience for me and it will help me a lot to burn fats as I am not so slim...... This may sound funny as it will happen a year later, but I will just say it. I really am looking forward to next year's cross country run so that I can continue burning fats and will also exercise regularly to keep fit and to maintain a healthy life style.
