It has been a while since i last blog. Too many events, too many things to capture in a short time but nevertheless i am still breathing and so much alive and ever so grateful. I've done Melbourne Half Marathon and VERY happy about it. It was a great feeling completing it, running in a cold weather but beautiful scenery and to be able to run in one of the great sports event, Melbourne Cricket Ground with thousands cheering at the runners!
I have been good, training for my Singapore Marathon now with almost every week i run 21K alone or with friends. I don't really know how to explain why i run again when people asked me. Most ordinary runners like me are motivated by individual goal, more than anything, a time i want to beat. Even if i didn't break the time i'd hoped for, as long as i have the satisfaction at having done my best and probably made significant discovery about myself in the process, (i have the strength, physical and mental) that itself is a accomplishment. Knowing i have the strength, motivation and in some ways inspire others...that is a great feeling.
People asked me what do i think about when i'm running. Hmmm... honestly I don't think much when i'm running. I'm not that bright of a person too think that much. Off course i do have a certain amount of intelligence (i do..i do..heheheh) but not the type who operates through pure theory or logic whose energy source is intellectual speculation. I don't think a thing! All i do is running my own slow pace, homemade void, my own nostalgic silence...and this is pretty wonderful thing , no matter what anybody else says. So here i am..planning to run again this weekend...maybe 30K..final before 42K on 6th Dec.
Here i come Singapore, ....and maybe others to come.
