Hi :)
Went for the safari zoo run yesterday with my darling girls Yuenyee, Weinie, Desiree, Gouyue and Liwen.
The run was alright,
But thanks to my not running for over half a year and my eating and drinking directly before the run,
I got stitches almost the whole race. :(
So I finished a 6.2km run in 1hour5minutes ZOMG.
Fail ttm. :'(
Through the run,
I realised that actually life's really like a race.
While running, I kept getting tired and thinking of giving up.
But Desiree, who ran with me, kept encouraging me to go on.
We even set short term targets, like overtaking people who were ahead of us and so on, not forgetting to stop by each new attraction to see the pretty animals! ;)
And from that, we can piece it all together.
In a race, like in life, the ultimate goal is to reach the finishing line knowing that you ran (lived).
And throughout the race, scenaries change, but there'll always be someone to cheer us on and make sure we don't die.
Setting short term targets that'll help us achieve our long term goals will be motivation for us to keep going and not stop.
Of course, life always has a beautiful sight..... it just depends on whether we want to see it or not!
:)
And with that, here's a super nice quote from our dear Rongher:
' Life is like a piano.
The white keys represent happiness,
And the black keys represent sadness.
But as you go through life's journey,
Remember that the black keys make the music, too. '
