September Post: Marathon and me

This month, countdown to the last three months for my Penang Full Marathon. This year, still don't have much confident as before. That year, 3 years ago, with all the fighting spirits to go for a better future, a motivation for me to get nearer to my love one. To tell myself that I can go through the impossible.

Life is always cruel with all the up and down. After the injury that I have gone through the following year, I downgrade myself to go back to the half marathon last year. With all the spirit gone and I am learning to accept all that have happen.

After two years of trying to get rid and to strikes for better career, I have left out my jogging habit. Part of it I don't like sports at all. I am such a lazy person back in real life. If I can choose, to work less and the rest just sit back at home and just do nothing.

I wish to have that life. I did manage to have this kind of life after start working. Go back on time, and enjoy my Korean drama. But it doesn't last long.

I start to feel the aging. With the accumulated fats that I have collected after days and days sitting in front of computer, and the tiredness when get ready to office. I realised that I need a change. A change to this situation else I will be soon collapse.

Thanks to the friends and colleagues around that loves sports. I still manage to go for badminton, marathon and hiking from time to time.

This year, I have try to focus back to running, this is the easiest sport that you can do it alone, but amazingly, you will never be alone. I have a bunch of friends that I met along the life journey join me for this crazy action.

One friend whom started with Penang Fun Run, initially call me a crazy for joining a half marathon back in 2010 (I was enter by accidentally though), become joining three half marathon this year, we run the Woman Run in Mar, she said it will never happen again, but she end up sign up for Standard Charted Run (I miss it due to lack of cash flow that time, poor me.), and crazily join me for a half marathon and 10km run in two consecutive days. My favourite friend, Sue Anne that always go crazy easily, well, only her I will go out of my rational acts.

Another few more seniors and friend that I met in USM and Kerry, who are also my running partners in crime, these are all my luck to have them to drag me in to one more marathon, some drag by me also.

Marathon, has becoming part of my life, a great spirit of never give up. Yes, you will feel the spirit when you see everyone else who join, some might be weaker than you in stamina, but all will have the aim to finish the journey or to score their best time.

NEVER GIVE UP, KEEP FIGHTING, for all the people out there to never fail to try challenge themselves.
We might afraid of injuries, we do need to try our best to avoid getting hurt, some are not reversible, but life only live once, if I don't go for it I will be more afraid the regrets than the scars that shows that I have tried my best.

I don't know what will be the next after this run in November, well I will just try my best for this one first. I shall thanks all the people who accompany me for training and joining me for a marathon.

Running alone is lonely and boring. Running with friends you get to have more courage and run faster and longer.

Last but not least, I shall thanks my crazy friend again, for waiting me along the journey under the hot sun. Thank you my friend, and continue to run. (evil smile...)
