Entry #8 overcoming the "Impossible"


Whirlwind

644 views

Okay. So today has to be another great day in my life, It's kinda hard to believe it. But I managed to overcome my disabilities in my race I ran today (West Coast Relay's). I did not beat the time I set a few weeks ago, but finished with a 10:04 3200m (2 mile) and placed 9th. :proud:But! there is something that made me happy this race, but it requires backstory.

 

So about my personal traits. I'm going to say on These forums that I have Motor Tics.
Motor tics is a neurological disorder in which a person can make various twitching, repeating phrases, or mental disability. For me, I have a twitching type disorder with my neck and sometimes my jaw. So, the usual outcome whenever I have motor tics during a race, makes me feel defeated and mad at myself thinking that tics made me slower. Some races, (like the one I ran my best at) I do not have motor tics and I absolutely perform incredible. :ooh:

 

So going to today's race I had, I was very into it, I had a great first mile and going onto lap 5 I started Having neck twitches, and my jaw was very tight and I was moving all over the place. But by the last two laps, I thought to myself and I quote "BULLSHIT!" And my keyword that went through my head was "SURGE" so I pick myself up (still having bad motor tics) and sooner than later, I'm back on track
I finished the race tumbling on the track but got up soon afterwards. I didn't say a single word for 5 minutes and thought to myself. And As soon as I got back to my stuff I said out loud. "I Just Ran my race and beat out the Impossible" Sure I didn't run my fastest, but I learned today that i ran my hardest. I did everything I can to beat out those Motor tics and I will never forget how the outcome felt.
