A MiLEStoNe!

On Sunday, i went for my very first 10km run...... The Mizuno Run! hehe.

So glad i went... and completed it! hehe! The feeling of completing it and not stopping is just.... Wooooo.... hehehehe........

A few things i've learnt through the run:

1. God's ways are higher than our ways
- Actually i told myself after the 4km mark that i'd let myself rest after the 5km mark. And usually, my body will refuse to continue if i've made such a "promise". But just before 5km, the Lord said, "What if i say, continue? Will that overwrite your promise to urself?" I was unwilling at first, but i told God, ok, i'll try... and he gave me so much strength in my mind to continue, albeit at a slower pace, but i did not walk! hehe. Not just mind over body, but God over mind over body! hehe.

2. Success is a choice
- If you know that the task ahead of you is attainable, you need to know too, that success is a choice. Having a spirit of excellence is important... To do your best, not just to try your best... And even if a task is altogether possible, it is also possible to fail in it. You have to decide to win.

3. You'll get better at it.
After 7km, it was so easy to continue, and there was no thought in me to want to stop and walk. My body was so atuned to the running that i was just automatically going on and on..... It's the same in our life.... when we keep at it, we'll get it.

Above all, i thank the Lord for helping me to complete the run. I thank the Lord for wonderful friends to run with me. I thank God for His blessing of my Ohana.... :)

WE MADE IT! :)
