For a Bigger Challenge in 2011

Every since running came invading into my life, i’ve been feeling quite happy. It’s the sweating it out after a shitty day, and the eudophins just come rushing in. Not forgetting the adrenaline rush and the joy of torturing oneself completion of how much u wanna run.

As of 20/11/2010, i’ve completed:
1)
Singapore Passion Run – 10km
2) Nike City 10K Race – 10km

The upcoming Standchart Marathon is happening in another 15 days.

Being in the FIT CLUB in the cg, allows for fellow runners to support one another, share great running tips, and train together. And we are looking forward to more runs.

In fact, the run that is on my radar is
Sundown Marathon 2011. Since early this month, i’ve been periodically checking out the website to see when will next year’s run be open.

Its run is set on 28/05/2011. According to the website, the registration will open only in December 2010.

After the Nike Run, i felt that i can run more. And believing for greater breakthroughs in the area of running is concerned for me. And i was seriously contemplating that ‘maybe’, i should try for Half-Marathon (21km). But of course, the registration wasn’t even open, and i didn’t think very much into it.

Until this faithful afternoon. I received an sms….. And i jumped…. in excitement. SUNDOWN IS OPEN FOR REGISTRATION!

And i know that in my heart, i’ve already decided that 21k is THE race for me.



This was what i posted some time earlier.

When u post something like this PUBLICLY…… it may/can/does look grandiose, but talk is cheap, until ACTION happens.

And i’m very happy to announce that



Half-Marathon, i’ll conquer you in
6 months, 1 week and 1 day’s time!
   

So from now on, no more 5km mini-runs. I will run a minimum of 7km in 1 seating. And yes, i need to run more and more! I need to be much more disciplined than ever!! And yes, it takes a leap of faith for me. But i believe, that i can conquer this distance! =)

Phil 4:13
I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me!
